For more than 19 years, Sustainable House Day has provided a great opportunity for hundreds of thousands of people to visit some of Australia’s leading green homes – ones that are not only environmentally friendly, but cheaper to run and more comfortable to live in.

The annual event takes a lot of organisation, which we are proud to have played a key role helping ease the administration required for such an achievement.

Based on a wordpress theme, we are pleased to have had the in-house skill and knowledge to accommodate all the requests helping the entire project grow and thrive into what it is today.

The Sustainable House Day search engine relies on a radius calculation which requires each property to have a latitude and longitude value – we were able to seamlessly integrate the website into the Google Maps API so a registering user can easily drag and drop a pin should their address not be recognised in the google places API.

Streamlining the theme has increased the speed of the site by 31% and we’re not finished with the list of improvements we want to make.

The site now sports automated features from one year to the next – with an intuitive search engine that automatically provides varying results depending on how close to the next event you are.
