This category recognises websites that support humanity and contribute to the greater good — making the recognition especially meaningful for both the Energy Consumers Australia team and everyone involved at Digital Garden.

Energy Consumers Australia is the national voice for residential and small business energy consumers. The project involved redesigning and rebuilding the organisation’s website to better support the communication of research, grants, strategic insights and advocacy work across the energy sector.

The award reflects the collaborative effort between the Energy Consumers Australia and Digital Garden teams, alongside the strong focus placed on accessibility, usability, inclusive design and content discoverability throughout the project.

The new Drupal platform was designed to:

• improve access to research, grants and submissions
• create clearer pathways for diverse audience groups
• support long-term content growth and governance
• provide a more accessible and user-friendly experience
• strengthen Energy Consumers Australia’s digital presence as a trusted, evidence-led organisation

The project was informed by extensive stakeholder research and user testing, helping shape a platform focused on clarity, accessibility and real user needs.

We’re honoured to see the project recognised by the Australian Web Awards and would like to sincerely thank the Energy Consumers Australia team for their collaboration, trust and partnership throughout the project.

A huge congratulations as well to the entire Digital Garden team across strategy, UX, design, development, accessibility, content and project delivery.
