Project Description
WorkSafe Awards are the perfect way for a Victorian business or person to establish themselves as a leader in health, safety and well-being or return to work.
The awards are a yearly event open to Victorians in any industry and have hundreds of entries per year, that span nine award categories that celebrate everything from individual achievements to business solutions and inventions, you’re sure to find one to best share your story.
The Awards website has taken on many guises throughout the years as past awards events were theme based which changed annually, with Steve and his colleagues having a major input into design elements.
The 2016 Awards website was also WorkSafe’s first Awards venture in a lean Agile/UX way of working. This delivery of this website was dependant on time to market, so each phase of the awards process (advertising, entry, entry closing, judging, finalists selection, winners, last years finalist display, next year entry criteria), was broken down and analysed as a separate body of work using Agile. Each iteration involved a new round of user testing and a new understanding of the user needs and marketing insights.
The current website was also WorkSafe’s first venture into using SilverStripe as a delivery platform, a lightweight full- stack CMS which allows rapid deployment, supporting our needs to work with Agile methodologies.
Steve Wardle was WorkSafe project manager and User Experience Consultant on this project and helped with the final build on SilverStripe.
