There were three major factors that drove the development of the Whitsunday Maritime Training Centre website. These were ease of navigation; ability to communicate to those already in the marine industry looking to advance their career as well as those who were just getting started in the field; and lastly to visually showcase that the Whitsundays and in particular the Whitsunday Maritime Training Centre is the ideal location to obtain marine education.

The website was developed using a Content Management System which enables the training centre to update their own online information and ensure that course material and training dates are current. The website is compliant across a range of mobile devices and internet browsers and boasts social media functionality allowing visitors to easily share the sites content.

The WMTC was established in 1994 and has grown from offering dinghy training and learn to sail classes to a full-time educational facility with qualified trainers, three training areas, excellent equipment and a simulator. Based at the Whitsunday Sailing Club, the centre provides the perfect environment for students and easy access to water-based training.
