Web Design Brief

Stanthorpe Festivals Association Inc is a not-for-profit organisation charged with the responsibility to deliver the iconic Stanthorpe Apple & Grape Festival.

This festival is held biennially in the town of Stanthorpe, located on the Queensland/New South Wales border in Australia. Since it’s humble beginnings back in 1954, the Apple & Grape Festival (originally known as “Back to Stanthorpe Week”) is one of Queensland’s Iconic Events attracting more than 52,000 visitors over the 3 days of the festival.

The Apple & Grape Festival celebrates the harvest of two of Stanthorpe and the Granite Belt’s major agricultural industries. The Festival culminates on the weekend with street performers, stalls, bands and a multicultural fiesta in the park celebrating our region’s diversity and the products we are now famous for; primarily wine.

The continued success of the Festival is its ability to adapt and reinvent itself year after year. Stanthorpe Festivals Inc is now looking for a new website to reflect this success, the vibrancy of the event and the overall fun to be had.

The next Apple & Grape Harvest Festival will be the golden jubilee (50th anniversary).

• Utilise the colours red, green. purple and gold (as it is the golden jubilee)

• Use a clean set of web fonts striking a balance between design and load time

• Have various module positions
