Public Libraries WA (PLWA) Website Redevelopment

PLWA


The Public Libraries WA (PLWA) website redevelopment project aimed to modernize the organization’s digital presence. The original website, established in 2009 and built on Joomla, no longer met modern accessibility, security, or usability standards. This project successfully delivered a new platform to better support the needs of West Australian libraries, librarians, and the public.
