VISA Wellington on a Plate is a wildly popular food festival in the Wellington region, designed to boost the hospitality sector in the otherwise slow month of August. There's dozens of events, hundreds of burgers and plenty of drool-worthy dishes to choose between. Our job? To make finding, discovering, saving, sharing and rating those offerings easy, and even fun.
We have supported this event since since 2014, from a simple website based on a spreadsheet of burgers, to integrating an external event management system, all the way to a grand scale redesign and rebuild in recent times.
Each year we work to do continuous improvements to keep the site responsive to the growing needs of its users and the evolving Festival. It's a huge challenge to prioritise what's most needed and wanted on a not-for-profit's budget.
