About the client
Who they are
The Illawarra Shoalhaven Regional Defence Network promotes the region's defence capabilities. It also advocates for local industry with all levels of government.
Its website has to show who is in the region, what they can do and where the bases, airports and ports are. On the old site the businesses shared one page of logos, and the map was a fixed picture.
The solution
What Webics delivered
Webics rebuilt the website from the ground up, working from the Network's style guide and its own photography, with its words carried across.
Each of the 42 businesses now has its own page. Search the logo grid by name or narrow it down by capability, and the map follows, so the pins match what's in the grid.
The maps are interactive. Defence bases, airports, sea ports, industry and education each have their own marker, and you can switch each type on or off. The Assets page has a map of its own, for the region's bases, ranges, ports and research sites.
The events calendar lists what's coming up and what's been. You can subscribe to it in Google Calendar, Outlook or any calendar app, or add one event at a time. Finished events move across by themselves overnight, and the newest newsletters come in the same way.
Every page and document from the old site still opens, at its old address or through a redirect, so links already sent out keep working. Webics kept the Network's Google Analytics history and verified Search Console at launch.
