The website has been built with a clear template and widget-based methodology. This can be seen through the design as pages are kept consistent in look, with freedom in content curation. The City of Subiaco can regularly update and expand their website without losing the original look and feel. Areas of the website are represented through colour themes, with elements such as background colours, hyperlinks and CTA buttons taking on a new tone to highlight to users they are in a specific area of the site. Training was provided across departments allowing more staff members to update content, reducing bottlenecks and increasing the timely use of the website.
As a widget-based website, the City of Subiaco can independently manage their website content using all the elements and features that have been created. The information architecture has been thought out and validated via design workshops, and further confirmed through user testing and feedback workshops. It not only has an interactive design, but also features some customised features to enhance user experiences.
“The City of Subiaco had a strong community focus. At the core of their project they wanted to make sure that they were meeting a wide range of user needs with their website, and showcasing all the features (support) they offered to resident and visitors alike. The new website is a dynamic and proactive approach for a local council who is actively engaging with their community both online and offline.”
