The Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA) is a quasi-governmental organization responsible for nurturing and regulating all commercial and residential development within Freeport City, and the 'Port Area' of Grand Bahama Island.

GBPA is responsible for Building and Sanitary Codes, Inspection, Environmental Compliance, Town Planning Regulations, Business Licenses, City Management and Maintenance, Utility Rate Regulations and is also charged with economic development in the City of Freeport.

With a deep-bench of roles and responsibilities to over 55,000+ residents, GBPA commissioned us to develop a website that operates as a press release and news publishing resource to the public, and to categorically house legacy articles.

The dedicated media website features up-to-the-minute and archived press releases dating back 10+ years, images and video content. The website, branded as GBPA 24/7, serves as a one-stop source for all company-related news as well as information on business development, events and initiatives around Freeport.

GBPA 24/7 seeks to drive user engagement across the web and increase conversation about events and developments happening around Grand Bahama. Designed with the mobile-user in mind, the media site is not only optimized for use on any device, it is also fully social media–integrated. Every press release, image and video added to the website is automatically published to the GBPA’s relevant social media profiles, which reduces administrative time for cross-sharing.

Additionally, every post on the site comes with an option for users to share the content to several social networking site with a single click.
