Owen Sound Tourism
We approached the Owen Sound River District Tourism Website project with a comprehensive strategy, encompassing project management, user interface design, and content management. The result was a custom-built website designed to meet accessibility standards while delivering a seamless and engaging user experience. The site’s most dynamic feature is its ability to share business, news, and event data between the River District and Owen Sound Tourism. Our process included rigorous testing, quality assurance, and hands-on training and support to ensure smooth ongoing maintenance. Close collaboration with the City of Owen Sound ensured the website effectively promoted the region’s tourism and streamlined data sharing with related platforms.
The graphic design of the Owen Sound River District Tourism Website incorporated elements that reflect the region’s identity and appeal. The design aimed to evoke a sense of place and engagement through visuals that align with the natural beauty and community spirit of Owen Sound. The thoughtful integration of local landmarks, colours, and imagery was intended to create a welcoming and authentic representation of the area, enhancing the website’s appeal to both visitors and residents.
The refreshed Owen Sound River District Tourism Website successfully achieved AODA compliance and WCAG 2.1 AA level certification, reflecting a commitment to accessibility and inclusive design. Key aspects of the development included careful planning, the implementation of a user-friendly interface, and robust testing to ensure high performance and accessibility. The custom WordPress CMS allowed for easy content updates and efficient data sharing with the River District website. Overall, the project not only met regulatory requirements but also enhanced user experience, contributing to increased tourism and economic growth in the region.
