Cleared For Takeoff: How Eagle Vision Agency Transformed YXJ’s Website

A future-ready website built with strategy, accessibility, and community in mind.

The Compass

Project Summary

The North Peace Regional Airport (YXJ) is more than just a place to catch a flight – it’s a gateway to the Peace Region. When they needed a modern website that was accessible and easy to use, they turned to Eagle Vision.

We built a website that combined great visuals, fast performance, and strong community ties. From real-time flight info to accessibility features, the new site is ready for the future.

The Challenge

The old website was outdated and difficult to update. With proprietary plugins that no longer worked and limited internal resources, the airport needed a partner to take the lead and deliver a professional solution without adding stress.

Our Solution

We provided a full range of services, including airport web design and development, pro photography and videography, copywriting, flight data integration, and accessibility support.

This wasn’t just a redesign – it was a digital rebuild that reflected YXJ’s identity and the needs of modern travelers.

Key Features Delivered

Custom Flight Data Integration

The old flight info system had broken due to outdated plugins. Our team created a flexible integration with iFIDS that updates arrivals and departures in real-time

Multilingual & Accessible by Design

We implemented Accessibility by UserWay to ensure full compliance with modern accessibility standards, making the site usable for individuals with diverse needs. To further enhance usability, we integrated a Google translation plugin—allowing international travelers to browse the site in their preferred language.

Mobile-Friendly Experience

We designed the site to work flawlessly on all screen sizes, even on limited airport Wi-Fi.

Visual Storytelling with Local Photography

We took photos and videos on-site to capture the spirit of YXJ and its community.

Purpose-Built Pages

We strategically expanded and restructured the site to 31 rich, optimized pages, pulling from existing content and best practices.

Theme-Driven Content and Copywriting

We rewrote core pages to highlight YXJ’s value to the region, not just as a transportation facility, but as a community connector.

History Page Enhancement

We created a museum-informed history page that showcases the airport’s evolution and importance over time.

Results

Since launching in April 2025, the website has strengthened YXJ’s digital reputation. Travelers can access real-time flight data, partners can navigate easily, and the public is better informed about the airport’s services.

Highlights:

  • Fast and fully responsive

  • Real-time iFIDS data integration

  • 31 custom pages launched

  • WCAG-compliant accessibility features

  • Clear navigation

  • Visual brand cohesion through original media

Why Airport Web Design Matters

Today’s airport websites need to do more than show flight times. They serve diverse users with different needs – from travelers and tourists to community members and industry partners.

A strong airport web design includes live data, self-service tools, mobile-first usability, security and scalability, and visual and cultural connection.

That’s what we built for YXJ.
