Catalyst supports the Predator-Free Taranaki initiative

In 2015, Catalyst engaged with the Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) to redevelop their main website in Silverstripe. The TRC wanted to upgrade their Silverstripe site and build a secure, future-proof platform, enabling future growth and expansion in alignment with new business requirements and goals. Catalyst has been supporting and evolving the site and associated web applications since.

Using Silverstripe 4, the Catalyst Silverstripe team worked with TRC’s key stakeholders and site users to conceptualise, design, and build a highly user-centric website section for the Towards Predator-Free Taranaki initiative.

The main page layout and styling give the TRC the flexibility to customise and prioritise the calls to action they want to display on the page.

The design was inspired by the highly regarded recently built Regional Gardens section.

Sitting above the calls to action is a live trap count – a custom integration with Trap.NZ API data. The live trap count aims to engage the community by giving them a sense of the number of set traps and encouraging visitors to keep watch as the number continues to grow.
