Te Ara Director Stan Wolfgramm worked with consultant Ben Kimiangatau of Shahana Pearls to develop a plan to test the feasibility, desirability, usability, client access, payment paths and quality control of the solution. To test and inform the design of the platform, Stan held three in-person events with the enterprises they work with to share with them the progress they were making in establishing the platform, to educate them on online product sales and most importantly, to obtain their feedback to inform revisions to the platform.
