Case study
AUCC Website
Dynamic club website for the Auckland University Canoe Club.
Overview
A modern, content-managed website for the Auckland University Canoe Club, built with Next.js 15 and Payload CMS. Developed by WDCC in 2025.
The AUCC website serves as the digital hub for Auckland University's paddling community. It features event management for upcoming trips and registrations, community-generated trip reports with photo galleries, comprehensive river guides, and member profiles. The project uses a modern tech stack with Next.js 15 (App Router) on the frontend, Payload CMS 3.0 for headless content management, and Neon Postgres for the database. Infrastructure is managed via Terraform on AWS (S3 + CloudFront) and deployed to Fly.io. As Tech Lead, I guided a team of 8 developers and a designer to deliver a production-grade system with comprehensive documentation and handover processes.
Impact
Reduced manual website updates and made it easier to promote trips and events to members.
