Specifications
Pat Weir MP required a website that conveyed his leadership and prominence in the community, with the functionality to regularly share current news, development and events.

The Challenge
Pat Weir MP’s previous WordPress website had become outdated and failed to reflect his esteemed position as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. As his public profile and responsibilities grew, maintaining a modern and informative website became increasingly important.
His freelance web-designer had also become increasingly busy and was unable to make reliable and timely content updates. This not only affected the website functionality and appearance but also hindered efficient communication about Pat’s achievements and initiatives.
It became clear that a refreshed, easy-to-update website - with larger agency support - was needed to keep pace with Pat’s professional role and ongoing community involvement.

The Solution
Our team developed a modern and fully responsive Typo3 website to more adequately represent Pat’s position within the Queensland Parliament. We implemented a polished and authoritative visual identity to showcase Pat’s achievements, community engagement and parliamentary work.
Our team carefully designed every aspect of the website to ensure that all the visual and technical components worked together. Typo3’s robust framework allows for more advanced visual design, streamlined content updates and enhanced SEO performance, compared to WordPress.
We restructured all the content pages and made key design decisions, including header styles, button colours and text alignment, to create a very cohesive and user-friendly experience. When CoBright builds a website, we also manage all the technical backend tasks to optimise search engine performance. For Pat, we configured the meta descriptions, title tags, alt text for images and more!
As CoBright is a larger, more established marketing agency, we are able to provide a greater level of reliability and service to our clients. We offer various Website Support Packages that guarantee essential updates are completed within 24 hours. For Pat, we implemented one of these support packages, so a team member is always available to promptly manage his content updates.

The Outcome
The new Typo3 website has significantly enhanced Pat’s professional profile and online reputation. Regular content updates are now made to ensure that Pat’s important news is consistently shared with community members and relevant stakeholders.
This approach, coupled with the SEO optimisations, has improved Pat’s online reach and engagement, making his work highly visible and easily discoverable within the Queensland community. It’s fully responsive, user-friendly and seamless to manage. With a cleaner and visually aesthetic design, the website also makes a stronger and lasting impression on visitors.
Through CoBright’s dedicated support package, Pat now has reliable support to ensure his website remains current and looks professional at all times. This combination of visual design, technical expertise and dependable support has transformed Pat’s online presence into a cohesive and effective platform that will continue to support his growing public profile.
