Project Overview

Times News Group brings together regional publications including the Surf Coast Times, Bellarine Times, Geelong Times, Ballarat Times and Bendigo Times. Its main website introduces the publishing network and directs visitors toward their region’s community news.

Techno Deviser’s role covered website design, development and digital marketing. We focused on presenting the group as a connected publishing network while giving individual regional publications a recognisable place within the experience.

The Challenge

A regional publishing group needs to communicate its wider identity without making readers search through information unrelated to their community. The central website must introduce the network and help visitors identify their next destination.

The primary challenges included:

  • Present multiple regional publications within one group identity.
  • Make location-based publication choices easy to understand.
  • Distinguish the group website from individual news destinations.
  • Balance publication discovery with company contact information.
  • Provide clear routes for reader and business enquiries.
  • Maintain consistent brand communication across digital marketing.

Our Approach

We organised the experience around a straightforward visitor journey: identify the region, find the publication and connect with the appropriate destination.

  • Orient. Introduce the publishing network while making regional news selection the central purpose of the opening experience.
  • Organise. Present publication choices consistently so visitors can recognise and select the title relevant to their community.
  • Connect. Keep publication destinations, group information and contact routes accessible within a shared website structure.
