Crofton Beam Engines
As a local web design agency, Callia Web was invited to pitch for the redesign and development of a website for Crofton Beam Engines. The Grade 1 listed industrial heritage attraction on the Kennet and Avon canal had secured funding for a new website as part of a grant application to attract new visitors and improve sustainability.
We worked closely with the Kennet and Avon Canal trustees to design a website that would enhance the visitor experience by providing easy access to information, mainly opening times and prices. Ensuring that current and future events could be promoted on the website was equally critical to help drive visitors to the attraction.
The WordPress block editor was used to provide a clean, contemporary, responsive, and SEO optimised website. The navigation was simplified to enable clear labelling and sign-posting to the different sections and information within the website.
We created forms to register volunteer interest and to receive regular newsletters and updates.
We designed the website using their brand colours of red and green (the colours of the beam engines themselves) with a vintage look-and-feel we felt was consistent with their heritage. Callia Web thoroughly enjoyed working on a project that we value highly within our local community, enabling Crofton Beam Engines and it’s volunteers to continue their hard work promoting their attraction to new and existing visitors.
Happy Customer
We are feeling very proud of our brilliant new website!
Many thanks to our superb web designers Callia Web and to the Arts Council England funded South West Museum Development Programme for the grant so we could build this excellent new digital showcase for Crofton Beam Engines and the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust.
