Towntime

Everything on in Hobart, one search away.

Towntime on a laptop, tablet and phone: the Hobart happy hour guide on the web and the Specials screen in the app

The project

What needed solving, and what we built.

Towntime brings venue specials, events and useful local information into one product. The experience needed to work for people making a quick decision on their phone and for venues keeping their information current.

We designed and developed the product across web and mobile, with live venue information behind the experience. Clear filtering, useful venue profiles and direct navigation keep the technology out of the way of the decision.

The product
