The Objective

Over the last year, we’ve cultivated a collaborative partnership with Waitangi Treaty Ground’s team, actively addressing their development needs and facilitating crucial website updates.

Their former website was poorly built with inconsistencies throughout, rendering it difficult for the team at Waitangi Treaty Grounds to maintain and manage independently. With a vision to modernise their digital presence, the Waitangi Treaty Grounds team entrusted What IF Web with the task of redeveloping their website, aiming to provide a clean and scalable framework that empowers their team to take full control of their online platform.

What We Did

  •   Redeveloped the Waitangi Treaty Grounds' website using Client-First to enhance performance, consistency, and ease of management, creating a robust, reliable, and future-proof platform.

    

  •   Implemented subtle design touchups to elevate the redeveloped site further and provide a more enriched user experience.

    

The Result

Waitangi Treaty Grounds now boasts a scalable, redeveloped website that empowers them to take control. With a stable framework and proper practises, the Waitangi Treaty Ground team can feel confident managing and maintaining their website independently.

The partnership with Waitangi Treaty Grounds not only revitalised their digital presence but also reinforced their mission to educate and inspire countless visitors, ensuring that the legacy of the Treaty of Waitangi continues to thrive in the digital age.
