Visit Aurora Launches Cutting-Edge New Website

Aurora, CO - August 30, 2019 - Visit Aurora, Colorado launched a brand new website design to support its mission to showcase Aurora as a premier destination for meetings, business, and leisure travel. Developed in collaboration with the creative team at Tempest, the new website offers the Visit Aurora team a platform to showcase the Aurora community and foster economic impact through tourism. 

The website visitor is immediately immersed in the Aurora experience through full-bleed, large format photography. Different audiences can quickly find the most inspiring and helpful content for their travel needs using the completely reimagined information architecture and mobile-first navigation menus. The website is fully integrated with the iDSS Cyclone CRM System, empowering the Visit Aurora team to showcase local businesses and foster connections with travel planners and inspire visitation. 

The new website is built on the Craft 3 Content Management System (CMS), and Craft’s intuitive back-end user experience makes it easy for the Visit Aurora team to update the site with fresh content. The Craft CMS allows for dynamic layouts and robust features sitewide, meaning every new piece of content can look and feel as engaging as the homepage. 

The Visit Aurora sales team, responsible for connecting meeting planners with area hotels and businesses, now has a sophisticated and flexible platform to help answer the question “Why meet in Aurora?” The new website platform also serves as a hub for locals to discover events, things to do, and new developments happening right in their backyard. 

"Aurora has grown as a destination, and now our website makes it easy to showcase our hotel properties, partners, and local restaurants. The Tempest team made the entire experience feel collaborative, they really responded to our needs,” said Bruce Dalton, CEO Visit Aurora.

“Partnering with Visit Aurora on this project has been an incredible experience. The entire team was excited to use the new site as a way to spark a new conversation about the community, and showcase this dynamic destination as it continues to evolve in the future. We are excited to see how the talented team at Visit Aurora uses their new marketing platform to inspire travelers and build value for the Aurora community.”  said Jenny Rose, Director of Client Services at Tempest.
