Project Overview

Digital Spice worked with DAB Studio Gallery — a wonderful not-for-profit community arts centre in Mossman in the Douglas Shire QLD — to design and build a vibrant, easy-to-navigate website that reflects the creative spirit of the local arts community. The new site supports DAB’s mission of promoting artistic development, sharing class information, and showcasing exhibitions and local talent online.

The Challenge

DAB needed a website that could clearly present a wide range of offerings — from art classes and workshops to gallery exhibitions and community events — in a way that was accessible for both locals and visitors. The existing online presence lacked modern structure and functionality, making it harder for users to find up-to-date class schedules, exhibition details, and membership information.

Our Approach

We worked with the DAB team to plan and deliver a modern WordPress website that brings clarity and personality to their digital presence. Key design and development elements included:

• A clear homepage introducing DAB’s purpose and latest activities
• Dedicated sections for Art Classes, Workshops, Exhibitions, and Gallery & Shop
• Easy-to-update upcoming exhibitions and program listings to keep content fresh
• Mobile-responsive design for seamless browsing across devices
• A visual style that celebrates local creativity and the arts community

This structure makes it simple for artists, students and community members to explore DAB’s offerings.

Key Features & Highlights

• Intuitive Navigation: Visitors can quickly find information on upcoming art classes, enrolment details, and upcoming exhibitions.
• Community Focus:  showcasing local artists, workshops and gallery events.
• Responsive & Accessible: Designed to look great on phones, tablets and desktops.
• Easy Content Management: Built in WordPress so the DAB team can update events and exhibitions with ease.

Outcome

The refreshed DAB Studio Gallery website enhances the organisation’s online visibility and supports its role as a creative hub in the Douglas Shire. The site helps the community stay informed about classes, exhibitions, workshops and more.
