Building a New Digital Destination for Janesville
Localish Janesville is a community platform and app that connects residents and visitors with local businesses, events, deals, dining, and shopping in Janesville, Wisconsin. To bring that platform to life, Foremost Media designed and launched a mobile-first WordPress site that also functions as a Progressive Web App, pairing the familiarity of a website with the ease and immediacy of an app-like experience.
Constructing a More Connected Local Ecosystem
A custom Divi design established a distinct visual identity; GeoDirectory supplied the underlying structure for business and sponsor listings. Event calendars, sponsor submission pathways, blog content, and newsletter features were woven into the platform to create a more complete local resource, one that encourages visitors to explore what is happening, who is involved, and where to engage next in the city of Janesville.
Prioritizing the Mobile Experience
Mobile use guided the experience from the earliest design decisions through final quality assurance. Responsive layouts, accessibility review, Progressive Web App configuration, custom icons, and Google Analytics were incorporated to support a smooth and consistent experience across devices. Foremost Media also trained the Localish Janesville team to manage listings, update content, and maintain the platform after launch.
A More Connected Way to Experience Janesville
Localish Janesville brings greater visibility to the people, places, and activities shaping the community. With opportunities to feature new businesses, events, stories, and partnerships, the platform can continue to reflect Janesville as it grows. Ongoing updates will keep the content current, expand the range of local voices represented, and help the platform remain relevant as the community evolves.
