Website Showcase – Shillington Village Hub

Websites, , , , , ,

We were tasked with consolidating a number of existing Shillington web sites into a centralised platform, where everything could be accessed from a single “hub” site.

This project has been in discussion since around 2021 and much planning and thought has gone into it, as well as securing funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The new web sites have taken three existing web sites for Shillington Village, Shillington History Society, and All Saints’ Church, as well as creating one whole new site and a gateway portal to group them together.

The main Hub site also provides links to other Village organisations as well as Shillington Lower School. These sites were not built out by us and are just linked.

All sites are provided with SSL, SEO, backup and hosted reliably by Frantik.

Training for this project was also provided to key players working on the project.

Please feel free to take a look, any feedback provided helpful and appreciated.

WebSite Showcase – Club 85 revamp

Hosting, Websites, WordPress, , , , ,

We have recently had the pleasure of taking on the revamp of the Club 85 music venue web site. This project has been in the pipeline for a while and has taken a lot of planning. The site is built upon WordPress which is a very versatile platform that has now moved on from the web blog platform it started out as. The old web site was based solely around the gig calendar so this was the plan for the new one.

We have utilised a platform provided by ModernTribe called Events Calendar which is an all-in-one calendar and ticketing solution to allow the venue the full scope of end to end scheduling and ticket sales. Due to Covid-19 the calendar is looking a little bare right now but will eventually be populated.

The website itself is still waiting on a colour scheme and logo which will be coming soon but for the time being the main aim was to go live with a web site and take ownership of the domain which we now have. This will allow the management to focus on bookings and day to day business.

The contact form has been configured to allow easy contact for bookings and management respectively.

The image gallery is currently linked to the club’s Instagram account but will eventually be transitioned into a separate gallery where guest photographers can upload their own images.

Simplicity was key for the brief

New MySpace comes at a time when social networks are becoming bloated

Have you checked out the all new MySpace? If you haven’t already then you really should take a look.

In June 2011, Specific Media Group and Justin Timberlake jointly purchased the company taking it over from News Corp.

Since the takeover the whole site and platform has been rebuilt and redesigned, and for music discovery and networking (in that sense) it is the best out there and blows Facebook out of the water.

What’s better is that the help and support platform is actively managed and you do get a response to any queries.

My recommendation – check this out!
