Established in 2015, Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (BTEA) is responsible for all sectors related to national tourism affairs in Bahrain. They organize trade exhibitions that attract international, regional, and local visitors. BTEA aspires to boost the Tourism sector’s contribution in the national economy, in line with the Bahrain Economic Vision 2030.

Following the success of the Bahrain Tourism Website, BTEA approached us for a complete re-design of the Bahrain Events Calendar website. The website includes all the current and upcoming events happening within the Kingdom. 

The Goal

•  New website for the soon to be opened Awal Private Terminal

•  Responsiveness to all platform sizes

•  Portal for the booking & request of services

•  Focus heavily on visuals of the newly renovated space

•  CMS for receiving, approving, and managing booking requests along with managing the content of the website

The Process

The project started with the consultation phase, where our team of expert consultants met with the BTEA representatives to understand their requirements and goals for the new website. The team discussed the target audience, the types of events to be featured, and the features and functionality needed on the website. 

Based on the consultation phase, the team created a project plan that outlines the website's scope, timeline, and deliverables. The plan also included wireframes and mockups to illustrate the website's design and layout.

The design phase involved creating a custom design for the website. We designed the website to focus on the content. Presenting all upcoming events in a clear grid for readability and accessibility. The website also required a solution for vendors and event managers. We've created an adjacent user flow that allows them to upload all their data and to be featured on the website. The design also included a solution for vendors and event managers to upload their data and be featured on the website. The VII Tech team worked very closely with BTEA to ensure that the design meets their requirements and aligns with their branding guidelines. 

With the design finalized, the expert development consultants began the development phase, where they built the website's front-end and back-end. The front-end included the website's layout, typography, images, and interactive features. 

After the development phase, the team conducted extensive testing to ensure that the website is fully functional and accessible on all devices and platforms. The team of QA consultants tested the website's speed, security and compatibility with different browsers and devices. 

Once the testing phase was completed, the team launched the new Bahrain Events Calendar website. 


The Challenges

Our challenge for this project was to making sure that the website was fully responsive and compatible with different devices and screen sizes. This included some obstacles with some design elements as well as technical challenges such as ensuring that the website loads quickly and is optimized for different browsers and platforms. 

To overcome this challenge, the team used responsive design tecniques to ensure that the website adapts to different screen sizes and devices. They also conducted extensive testing to ensure that the website loads quickly and is compatible with different browsers and platforms. Additionally, the team used techniques such as image compression and lazy loading to optimize the website's performance. 

Deliverables

•  Website Site Map

•  Content creation (images & text)

•  UI/UX Design

•  Informative and interactive website for Bahrain's Events Calendar

•  CMS & Admin Panel: managing both website content & form requests

•  Testing & QA
