Friends of Franklin

A Unique Nature Reserve with a Digital Edge

Friends of Franklin is not just any nature reserve—it’s a rare gem nestled in the heart of Bloemfontein, offering a unique blend of urban and natural experiences. What began as a straightforward website hosting project for Friends of Franklin soon evolved into something much more, thanks to the innovative solutions provided by Pixels Digital Solutions.

Recognizing the distinctive character of this urban sanctuary, we at Pixels Digital Solutions expanded our role to help Friends of Franklin enhance their visitor experience. The reserve’s uniqueness called for creative solutions that would highlight its special features while making the experience more engaging for tourists and locals alike.

One of the upcoming projects is the installation of new tourist boards throughout the reserve. These boards will provide in-depth insights into several key viewpoints, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the natural beauty and ecological significance of Friends of Franklin. Each board will be meticulously designed to blend with the natural surroundings while delivering valuable information that enriches the visitor experience.

In addition to the tourist boards, we’re excited to introduce a new interactive map featuring QR codes. This map will offer an immersive, digital way for visitors to explore the reserve, guiding them to points of interest with ease. By simply scanning a QR code, visitors can access detailed information about specific locations, upcoming events, and much more, right from their smartphones.

Friends of Franklin is a truly special place, and Pixels Digital Solutions is proud to play a part in preserving its charm while bringing it into the digital age. With these new features, the reserve is set to offer an even more memorable and informative experience for all who visit.
