What We Did
WDRC invited featurist to submit a tender, to redevelop their tourism website.
Upon being awarded the contract, we gathered their business requirements and designed a new website from scratch.
The website was built on WordPress, as this is a highly extensible platform and provides WDRC with the ability to self-manage the website content & assets. A key functionality added into the platform was structured editing functionality, to ensure users can manage the site without accidentally breaking the design.
featurist developed the website and provided full training to their staff on the use of the tools. .
Following on from this successful engagement, Western Downs Tourism has engaged featurist multiple times, to develop and enhance a mobile app for the region. this app is available on the Android and Apple stores.
