Portfolio - Working Woodlands Trust
The brief from Working Woodlands Trust was to rejuvenate their existing website, while keeping their existing information and images, and adding a number of new content managed sections.
After reviewing the existing site to get a feel for the required site structure and general content, we built a number of templates for members of the trust to review. These were presented at an open evening to gather feedback and from this a final design template was created. The original site information was then brought across to populate the new site. At various stages during this process we sat with the client to allow them to try out different ideas and layouts.
The new content mananged sections allow Working Woodlands Trust to enter news articles, upcoming events and maintain a photo gallery. The news and events allow title, summary and article bodies to be edited and images related to the articles to be included. The photo gallery is fully managed, allowing staff to create new categories for different events and upload thumbnails, full size images and information about each image.
"Robin Wood of Freedom Software transformed our website. The site is now visually appealing, with a consistent style, and easy to navigate. The addition of the edit suite has given us the opportunity to use the website as the functional communication tool it should be. As soon as the website was launched I was able to put upto date news stories on the website. This is now the main tool that I use to communicate with the members of Working Woodlands Trust."
