Completion Date: November 2024

Project Overview

The Cheviot Horse Arena and Equestrian Grounds is a premier destination for equestrian enthusiasts, providing state-of-the-art facilities in the scenic Canterbury region of New Zealand. We had the privilege of designing and implementing a modern, user-friendly website and booking system to streamline the arena’s operations and improve user engagement.

Key Features

  1. Responsive Website Design
    The website was built with a clean, intuitive design, ensuring an excellent user experience across all devices, from desktop to mobile. The design highlights the venue's picturesque location and top-tier facilities.

  2. Integrated Booking System

    • Custom-developed booking platform for arena hire, lessons, and event registrations.
    • Real-time availability updates to minimise double bookings and streamline scheduling.
    • Secure online payment gateway for hassle-free transactions.

  3. Content Management System (CMS)

    • Implemented a user-friendly CMS, enabling the Cheviot Arena team to update event schedules, pricing, and other key information effortlessly.

  4. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

    • The site was optimised for search engines, helping attract new visitors and increase awareness of the venue among equestrian communities.

  5. Community Engagement

    • Features such as event announcements, newsletters, and contact forms to foster engagement with the local equestrian community.

Challenges and Solutions

  • Customisation Needs: The booking system required extensive customisation to cater to the arena's unique services. Our team designed a flexible, scalable solution that can adapt to future requirements.
  • Remote Location: To ensure fast load times, the website was hosted on a high-performance server with optimised configurations for rural users.

Outcome

The Cheviot Horse Arena team now has an effective platform to manage bookings and promote their world-class facilities to a growing audience.
