Phase 1

Prototyping

Tourism New Westminster had a colourful website full of local content — but it was difficult for visitors to quickly find what they were looking for, especially on mobile devices. The organization needed a fresh new web design and development to help make their massive volume of useful and popular information more user-friendly.

Content strategy and information architecture drove this project, with a strong need for a logical content backbone and intuitive navigation. With such a large amount of content, the new site’s categories and filtering had to be top priority to ensure that the new site was easily searchable and browsable.

Phase 2

Style

We added layers of depth to Tourism New Westminster’s colourful existing branding with overlays in darker, more neutral shades. Their wealth of attractive local photography was given centre stage, and the addition of a social media plugin adds even more authentic imagery to the site. A clean, modern typeface and simple illustrated icons round out the new interface design.

Phase 3

Bringing It Together

The new Tourism New Westminster website design is attractive, and most importantly, extremely easy to explore across desktop and mobile devices. From restaurants and venues to the latest news and blog posts, visitors can quickly understand where content is located and navigate between pages. The new events calendar adds a highly useful element for both tourists and residents of the city, while the #MadeInNewWest social media integration brings a fun and authentic flavour to the overall experience.
