www.eesti.org.au

Krustyfries has launched the new website for the Estonian community in Australia, at www.eesti.org.au.

The aim of the new site was to create a destination to inform people on what is happening in the Estonian community in Australia. The site features information on the latest events, news, consular and passport information and Estonian language classes as well as articles from the community newspaper, Meie Kodu.

The key client functionality for the website was that it had to be easy to update the content.   Various stakeholders around Australia would be submitting their news and events.  This was achieved by utilising Wordpress as a content management system.

As www.eesti.org.au is a community, non for profit website,  the site was developed using mostly free open source tools from Wordpress for the site and CMS development, GIMP for the graphic design and Google for the maps.  The only additional expense was for a base theme from Theme Forest.
