On Saturday night, our Company Director Marilyn<\/a> accepted the Best Website trophy at the 2018 Maccas Media Awards. The winning site, GoldCoastAustralia.com is one of e-CBD’s largest and longest running websites.<\/p>\n

First launched in 1999, the site has had many major makeovers throughout the years with this last award-winning refresh to coincide with the lead up to the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n

\"Gold<\/p>\n

Fresh & Modern Design<\/h2>\n

For a captivating first impression, the home page was opened up to a full-width layout to take advantage of additional space and maximise the presentation of content, imagery and on-page elements.<\/p>\n

Extensive Functionality<\/h2>\n

The site contains a number of API feeds from various third-party affiliates, such as Booking.com, Ticketmates and Viator, which required extensive development and styling.<\/p>\n

Each feed was customised to pull specific data from the API such as URL, rates, address and images, utilising a grid layout which easily stacks and adapts to the device that the visitor is using.<\/p>\n

Thank You!<\/h2>\n

We’d like to thank the judges for recognising the many hours of hard work the e-CBD team have put into making this website a winner.<\/p>\n
