This project focused on delivering a custom-built auction platform explicitly designed for clubs and societies across Western Australia. The client needed a system that was not only functional but also easy for non-technical users to manage, from uploading items to handling bids. We integrated a robust auction plugin, configured email notifications, and provided user training and support. Given the critical timing and reliability required for live auctions, we conducted extensive testing before launch. The result was a dependable, easy-to-use platform that empowers local organizations to host successful online auctions confidently.
We approached this project with precision and user clarity in mind. From the start, we knew the auction functionality had to be reliable, intuitive, and stress-free for both organizers and bidders. Here’s how we brought it to life:
We met with the client to understand the needs of clubs and societies in Western Australia. Key priorities included ease of use, item upload flexibility, and email notifications.
We selected and configured a trusted WordPress auction plugin tailored to live bidding, item scheduling, and bid tracking.
We guided the client’s team through the process of uploading items, testing auction flows, and managing events — ensuring everything was ready for real users.
Automated bidder and admin email alerts were configured to keep users informed at every step of the auction process.
Because live auctions require accuracy and zero downtime, we conducted multiple test runs to validate every component before launch.
The final solution was a tailored auction platform that delivers reliability, ease of use, and flexibility. We empowered the client to independently run auctions confidently from item listing to bid completion. With a strong back-end setup, responsive design, and guided user support, the system can serve multiple clubs and community groups across WA. The platform meets the technical needs of live auctions and supports the client’s mission to bring community-driven fundraising online.
