Late in 2014, Chepstow-based wedding & event marquee provider County Marquees approached us for a redesign of their website in order to properly promote their available wares and services, as well as expand their online presence to act as a hub of content, service information, booking and marketing. Naturally, we accepted!

What we did:

— Full preliminary design mockups in Adobe Illustrator
— Studio photoshoots and editing for all staff member profiles
— Redrew their logo in vector (scalable) format
— Completely hand-coded fully responsive HTML/CSS/jQuery website
— Built a custom accessories/product rental feature that allows design and colour picking
— Built an company directory that makes it easy to keep track of all client-recommended services relating to weddings/events
— Implemented on our preferred Content Management System (CMS)
— Maximised Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Their key focus was on a modern approach — Responsive web design, clean and crisp with huge, stunning images from their wedding and corporate marquee portfolio. We needed something that worked well on both desktop and tablet devices. As such, we presented a myriad of selected designs, finally settling on a responsive one-page design with a difference: Multiple pages! Each primary feature section (Wedding and Corporate) features a slew of panels that act as their own page, complete with appropriate UX considerations and navigation and their own booking forms and calls to action. This kept the rest of the site light, free from excessive content while maintaining emphasis on their primary target audience’s requirements.

Using adaptive jQuery and the functionality of HTML and CSS3 we executed various important features, such as the marquee showcases, team profiles (they’re a family-based business and offer a personal touch!) and the impressive (if we do say so ourselves) Accessories selection page.
