When COTA Australia approached Design Grid, they had a specific vision in mind: to create an online search navigator that would enable users to effortlessly find aged care homes in their vicinity. This was not just another website project; it was a web application that needed to be both functional and user-friendly.

What We Achieved

• Custom Web Application: We developed a bespoke search navigator tailored to COTA Australia’s needs. The application was designed to be a widget within WordPress, offering the flexibility to be embedded on external websites.
• Database Integration: One of the key challenges was to import and manage a large set of data related to aged care facilities. We built a robust backend system that allows COTA Australia’s team to maintain and update the database as needed.
• Nationwide Availability: The search navigator is not limited to a specific region; it serves aged care facilities across metropolitan and regional areas in Australia, making it a comprehensive tool for those in need.

The Outcome

The result is a highly functional and user-friendly search navigator that has become an invaluable resource for individuals and families seeking aged care facilities. The backend system we developed ensures that the database remains up-to-date, providing accurate and reliable information to users.

COTA Australia now has a powerful tool that not only serves their immediate community but also has the scalability to be utilised on various platforms, extending its reach and impact.

For a seamless aged care search experience, the COTA Australia search navigator sets a new standard in user-centric design and functionality.
