Adderley Heritage Trail
Go-Pro website & logo design
Over several decades, Geoff Butter collected a substantial archive of documents about the village of Adderley in Shropshire. A community group was formed to develop this archive into the Adderley Heritage Trail.
With funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the documents have been digitised by the Shropshire Archives and trail through the village developed.
Alongside the physical trail, they needed a website with information about the trail and the ability to search the collection in a simple and advanced way.
As a brand-new heritage organisation, Adderley Community Group also asked us to design and create an identity and logo.
Working with the project team, we started with a discovery session to discuss all the project requirements.
We guided the Adderley Community Group through an iterative design process, shaping their ideas into a final logo design that was delivered in a variety of formats and colours. As part of the branding process, we also helped the Adderley Community Group with their strapline ‘A walk through our history’.
Once the branding phase was complete we then began work on the website discovery.
We created a sitemap, wireframes, content list, and full colour mockups.
The Geoff Butter Collection was a critical part of the project. Working with the project team and sample data from Shropshire Archives, we designed a powerful user-friendly search function using the WordPress plugins FacetWP and SearchWP.
As part of the original request, we provided comprehensive training to the project team so that they would be able to manage the import of archive data. We also created a form so that members of the community could contribute to existing archive posts, provide new stories, or get involved in the heritage trail project.
Happy Customer
For us Callia Web were perfect: they understood the meaning of community and how to work with a committee. Their vast experience of building community websites supported us in developing exactly what we wanted. There were no hidden extras; timelines only slipped when we were late, everything was done professionally and on time. It was crucial for us to use a company that understood database development and integration within WordPress and Callia Web fitted the bill perfectly. We will be keeping our relationship with Callia Web into the future and using them to provide ongoing support and maintenance. We have a website to be proud of.
