Witton Barracks is a historic WWII site reimagined as a playground for ideas. In collaboration with the local Indooroopilly community, they are transforming the site into a thriving community and social enterprise hub with three main focuses for impact: employment, community development and innovation.
Working in collaboration with Amadeus Brand, Brandkind and the client, we’ve created a joyful and modern site which we think perfectly encapsulated what they wanted. We (and the client!) are very happy with how this beautiful website project came together in the end.
Originally wanting a modern, sleek and minimal site that also honoured their historical past, we were challenged with balancing the preservation of historical elements with modern design aesthetics. We made sure to do this by creating a user-friendly website that reflects the new branding and mission
A key part of their brief was to haver a functioning events portal that was easy to navigate and allowed for community participation. Building a portal easy enough for their team to use, the client was thrilled with the final product and its ease of use.
Omg the Witton website is so bloody good. I’m beyond happy!!! I’m so proud to have our name on this. You absolutely nailed it Em. Working with you is a dream and I’m beyond happy with the end result! ❤️ Thank you xx
THE RESULTS:
Turning Witton Barracks website into a digital hub was a great way for us to help give this historic site a modern twist. Transforming their new brand, we’ve made sure the new website perfectly blends the site’s rich past with its exciting future as a buzzing community and innovation spot.
We adore the vibrant website that we’ve created for them and cant wait to see how the website grows as the community does.
Whether you’re looking to learn about the WWII heritage, join a community event, find a new office, or pitch the next big idea, Witton Barracks is the place to be. The events portal is now the go-to spot for locals to find and book tickets to an array of events, making community engagement easier for them to manage in-house.
