Building a Local Digital Platform
for Community Connection

Digital Hub

Go Raglan started as a brand and website project, creating a clear, recognisable digital presence for the Raglan community. Since then, the platform has continued to grow, with Web Paste developing custom tools that help locals, businesses and visitors connect in practical ways.

The project has evolved beyond a standard website into a community-focused digital hub, including a local jobs platform and a short-term accommodation directory. Both systems were designed to be easy to use, simple to manage and flexible enough to support the needs of different users.

Thomas and the Webpaste team have been super helpful in developing our website, support with our marketing, SEO, branding, google, meta advertising campaigns and everything in between. Everything is spot on and explained in simple terms to understand all the work happening behind the scenes. Highly recommend!

Community Jobs Platform

The Go Raglan Jobs platform was developed to connect local employers with people looking for work in the area.

Employers can create accounts, build profiles, post multiple jobs and manage their listings from their own dashboard. When someone applies for a role, the application comes directly into the employer’s account, including the applicant’s cover letter, resume and profile link.

Employees can also create profiles, apply for jobs and choose whether their profile is public or private. This gives job seekers control over how they appear on the platform, while still making it simple to apply for opportunities.

The result is a practical local employment tool that supports businesses, workers and the wider Raglan community.

Accommodation Directory

Go Raglan Accommodation was built to give property owners a simple way to list short-term accommodation and manage their own listings.

Users can quickly create an accommodation listing, then return to their account to add more properties, update details and manage their listings over time. This makes the directory easy for accommodation providers to use without needing ongoing admin support.

Visitors can browse available properties using filterable search, making it easier to find accommodation that suits their needs. Each listing allows users to contact the property owner through their preferred contact method, keeping the booking enquiry process simple and direct.

Custom Development for a Growing Community Platform

Both the jobs platform and accommodation directory were built around real-world community needs. Rather than relying on a basic listing system, Web Paste developed tailored workflows for different user types, account areas, profile visibility, listing management and front-end search.

This approach gives Go Raglan a flexible digital foundation that can continue to grow as the platform expands.
