White Rabbit Group partnered with Defero to migrate 7 Cedars from MODX to a streamlined multisite platform. We preserved brand consistency while introducing a custom CMS payment plugin that improved security and staff workflows. The result is a scalable foundation built for modern hospitality growth.

Solution
