Engineering a council-scale tourism and ticketing ecosystem

Monetising a mountain bike destination through connected digital infrastructure

ID Digital Agency partnered with a council-run mountain bike park to design and deliver a fully integrated tourism website and online ticketing system. Built on WordPress with a modular CMS and WooCommerce booking engine, the platform enables park entry and shuttle pass sales for individuals and groups, generates digital wallet passes, and supports real-time validation via a custom web app. The result is a scalable digital ecosystem designed to drive tourism revenue, manage seasonal capacity and reduce on-site friction.

Modular WordPress CMS built for tourism growth

The website was developed using WordPress with Advanced Custom Fields to create a modular, governance-led CMS. Structured templates allow council teams to manage trails, events, tourism updates and seasonal campaigns without developer dependency. The architecture supports future expansion, regional tourism integration and evolving destination marketing needs.

Real-time digital validation via custom web application

A lightweight, mobile-first web app was developed for on-site staff to scan and validate digital passes. The app activates device cameras to read QR codes and instantly returns a success or failure response. This reduces manual processing, supports revenue governance and improves visitor flow during peak periods.

Warburton Bike Park is about more than a website. It’s about creating a connected experience that supports visitors before, during and after every ride.

WooCommerce ticketing managing capacity and revenue

A customised WooCommerce booking system enables online sales of park entry and shuttle passes for individuals and groups. The system manages date-based availability, seasonal capacity, group bookings and secure payment processing. Digital wallet passes are automatically generated post-purchase, increasing pre-arrival ticket uptake and reducing gate queues.
