A window into Victoria’s environmental water

The Victorian Environmental Water Holder is an independent statutory body responsible for holding and managing Victoria’s environmental water entitlements. A key part of its role is to give a diverse audience timely information about water holdings and releases. Ladoo delivered an engaging website that does that.

What we did
  • Discovery and ideation
  • UX prototyping
  • Visual design
  • Responsive development
  • Squiz Matrix integration
  • Ongoing support

The organisation wanted to make its digital presence more engaging through dynamic content, imagery and a consistent look and feel. Our approach ensured a clear, easy to use design that put rich media in front of the audience to improve the experience.

The site was developed in Squiz Matrix and is fully responsive for smartphones, tablets and desktops. Using the best of Matrix, we set up a modular framework so content is presented in the right format every time, and the site gives the organisation a comprehensive channel for regular report content with a user-centred information architecture.

The modular approach meant each subsequent iteration added new features as the design system evolved alongside the content strategy. Several years on, the site is still going strong and providing detailed information on Victoria’s water holdings. The Ladoo team continues to support it, and extends the VEWH team during the peak periods around the seasonal watering plans.

What shipped

  • A design system that grew with each iteration
