WA Rangers Association Case Study

Brief

WA Rangers Association has served Western Australian communities with integrity for over 40 years.

The Committee is made up of Rangers in the industry who volunteer their time to improve the standards of the Ranger Industry across Western Australia.

Unfortunately their prior website was looking tired and had multiple issues affecting its capabilities to function.

Our Solution

After our discovery meeting with the key stakeholders of WA Rangers Association, we came up with our blueprint, which highlighed the root causes of the website functionality and the fix. We also found that new full rebuild was required including finding a new web hosting which suited their needs.

From start to finish we came up with a website which functioned out of the box, helps the Rangers to find information and is fast and reilable.
