Geo-locating visitors was the key to understanding how website visitors would interact with the site. Each state needed to serve localised content and also provide a localised donation path to ensure financial streams were kept separate.<\/p>\n

I ran guided discussions sessions with stakeholders, producers and developers allowing us to define the brief better. I took all our learning and developed a series of wireframe models to test.<\/p>\n
