Posted on February 15, 2021May 12, 2021 by Clayton Wehner

We’ve gone live with our consumer campaign for Adelaide’s Long Lunch. A pretty good day with over 20,000 consumer registrations on the first day and lots of positive media (examples below). Technical implementation is a Craft CMS landing page with Open Forms registration form and Campaign Monitor integration. Server has been upscaled to handle additional…

New Food Truck directory on CoA website

Posted on December 3, 2020December 3, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

The City of Adelaide has retired its old ‘Street Eats’ app in favour of a new Food Trucks directory on the CoA website. The app wasn’t being used widely and had come to the end of its useful life. The new Food Truck directory is at: https://explore.cityofadelaide.com.au/eat-drink/food-trucks/

Assessment Books available digitally

Posted on November 6, 2020November 6, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

Accessing these massive, bound, gold-embossed Rate Assessment Books used to be one of the main reasons why people would visit the City Archives in Topham Mall, Adelaide. These enormous books record the property owner and rateable value of every property in the City of Adelaide dating back to 1847. But it’s no longer necessary for…

Search function improvements on City of Adelaide sites

Posted on November 6, 2020November 6, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

We have gone ‘live’ with some changes to the on-site search function on the CoA website.  The search results are now more Google-like: they’re delivered in an integrated fashion (rather than segmented by ‘document type’ as they were before), the search is faster, and there are a number of cosmetic improvements (eg. outline box, thumbnail…

UPark Cost Estimator

Posted on October 13, 2020October 13, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

This one was difficult! This new tool provides a cost estimate for customers who wish to park at UPark on a casual basis. For example, if I enter UPark Grote St at 8.30am on Monday and then leave at 4.45pm on Friday, how much will it cost me? The algorithm that Halton Stewart has built…

Staycation dynamic pages with offers

Posted on September 21, 2020October 13, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

This week we spent some time building out a series of dynamically-driven Staycation offers pages, powered by the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse database. We were able to turn these around in quick time with the help of Blis. These pages replaced a set of manually maintained pages – the new pages are much less labour…

Stobie Pole story on Adelaide Living

Posted on September 17, 2020October 16, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

I wrote a story about stobie poles on Adelaide Living. The first stobies were erected on South Terrace back in 1924. Despite being an enduring solution for power poles in SA, they haven’t caught on elsewhere. https://living.cityofadelaide.com.au/stobie-pole-adelaide-icon-or-eyesore/

Posted on July 22, 2020July 22, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

As a government entity, we need to give close attention to the ‘accessibility’ of our websites. This ensures that the content of our websites can be consumer by people who have a visual impairment. We’re held to an international standard known as the Web Content Accessibility Guidlines (WCAG). We’ve been doing some work recently to…

UniSA students share the stories of the city in a content collaboration with City of Adelaide

Posted on June 22, 2020July 23, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

In addition to our content collab with Wakefield Press, we’ve also entered into a collab with UniSA, too. Back in 2019, Jeanmay H got in touch with Dr Ben Stubbs at University of SA. Ben is the author of ‘The Croweaters’, a book of stories about South Australia (it’s a great read BTW), and he’s…

We’ve been working with Wakefield Press on a little content collaboration for our online storytelling platform, Adelaide Living.

Context statements added to the City of Adelaide website

Posted on May 27, 2020July 23, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

As the City of Adelaide website is a series of ‘destinations’ – different subdomains intended for different audiences – it’s important to provide some distinction between them, and some understanding of context for users when they first arrive. So we’ve made a small change to provide context through some on-page statements that have been baked…

Easy English Guide for COVID-19

Posted on May 12, 2020July 23, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

The sheer volume of COVID-19 information out there makes it difficult for most people to absorb and comprehend, let alone those members of our community who have low English literacy, or have vision or cognitive impairments. To help, we’ve just published an “Easy English” guide on our website that explains which City of Adelaide services…

Nobody’s booking, so it’s the best time to work on our Adelaide accommodation options

Posted on May 8, 2020July 23, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

We’ve done a bit of work on our accommodation listings on the City of Adelaide website over the past couple of months during the COVID-19 situation. These listings are powered by data from the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse. We’re trialling affiliate bookings through Booking.com to see if there’s a revenue source for the council. We’ve…
