Bold, Brash & Beautiful For A Reason.
With WEA Illawarra attracting both young, senior students and everyone in between, the new site needed to cater to all demographics. A big, bold and colourful look was chosen with colour coded categories not just for a modern feel, but for ease of use and legibility for older members of the community.
Easy Navigation, For All Ages On Any Device.
With feedback from not just older students that the existing site was to difficult navigate, the new site needed to super simple to find your way around. An uncluttered UI/UX was designed and developed to be not just easy on the eye but easy to navigate for all ages on all devices.
With a high percentage of users accessing the site via mobile devices, a carefully thought out mobile design was designed and developed. Vital, and often overlooked on mobile devices, a clean, easily legible and navigational menu system was needed.
