The Regional Tourism and Events Award for June goes to...

Wanganui Together

Some excellent design features here including numerous curves, (much easier on the eye than the usual straight lines and right angles) and complementing two tone colours which create nice synergies among the pages. Even the banner ads have been 'built in' to the page layout. The site isn't short on information either, with a comprehensive 'virtual tour' section including some great pics. A search engine makes finding specific information all the easier however, we noticed that if no matching results were found, there was no message provided to that effect, leaving one to wonder whether the search was instigated at all. Also, while the search word 'accommodation' returned plenty of matches, not so for 'accommodations', a term frequently used by North Americans to describe their holiday lodgings. Perhaps we're being a bit picky now, I guess because there's little else to fault. Well done Wanganui Together.
