Grabbing the attention of your audience through website design can be achieved in many ways. When visitors head to cairns.com.au they are immediately presented with a web site design that very much reflects what Cairns is all about. This design, using a logical and clearly presented format allows for easy navigation around a site that is jam packed full of information.
The Cairns region, located in far North Queensland, is a tourist Mecca! With its tropical surroundings, and access to the world famous Great Barrier Reef, Cairns has been attracting masses of local and international tourists for decades. The design here has been specifically engineered to cater for both the tourist market, and locals living in Cairns. The website design cleverly uses a palette to emphasise the appeal of this happening city.
Along with the extensive range of tourist and leisure information, this lifestyle site covers local, national and international news and weather. The most successful part about this design? Catering for the format of news and current events articles – whilst being flexible and appealing enough to encourage browsing of the fun entertainment, lifestyle, and community pages this web site has to offer.
The new website uses a range of tools and web based applications developed by ireckon, such as photo galleries allowing multiple uploading, animated and static galleries, standard ad banners, video, RSS feeds and horizontal scrolling bars, to deliver this content. cairns.com.au also uses ireckon's ARK CMS which lets journalists and editors upload news stories from any computer with Internet access.
Visitors can enter competitions, take part in online polls, look up, or add their own event to the Online Events Calendar, or just read about the local news and events happening in the Cairns area.
Head to cairns.com.au to see why locals and tourists alike love this beating heart of the North Queensland Coast.
