District Council of Yorke Peninsula
The Yorke Peninsula Council's website is much more than just a council site. It is the on-line services and tourism hub for the whole of the Yorke Peninsula area. Information on Council activities is available, of course, but there is also a real focus on tourism, history and heritage. Notable features of the site include a picture gallery, interactive camping and surfing maps, plus details for the region's accommodation, activities, attractions and more. The council also acts as the region's Centrelink office, amongst other roles, providing information about many of the region's community services and other agencies.
The primary audience groups for Yorke Peninsula Council are local residents and tourists. The site balances all of their important information needs very well, is appealing and attractive, easy to understand and logically presented. Simple but effective navigation avoids using layers or other advanced scripting components, thus enabling their low-tech audience to access the site whilst still appealing to the rest of the market.
The client maintains the site via Macromedia Dreamweaver templates, keeping the information up to date and relevant for the community.
