Case Study: Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission improves website accessibility and engagement with Alyka

GEDC boosts users 18% with Alyka

The Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission (GEDC), a WA Government agency, had an outdated website that was failing to promote regional awareness. They approached their existing vendor, Alyka, with the challenges of improving their visual presence, adding interactive features, and ensuring the site met WCAG 2.2 accessibility guidelines.

Alyka redeveloped the website using a custom WordPress instance. The solution included engaging custom modules like an interactive map and improved document management. The results were a modern, WCAG 2.2 AA compliant site that, within two months of launch, saw an 18% increase in total users and a 7% increase in page views.
