The old sites didn’t offer Bowood the control they needed and they didn’t really reflect the facilities or ethos of the estate. They also lacked quality imagery to show of the stunning house and grounds.
The Bowood Estate is owned by The Marquis and Machioness of Lansdowne and comprises of a stately home and gardens, golf course and spa hotel, all with their own separate websites.
Giant Peach designed the sites with full CMS control. All 5 sites were uniquely branded but they were still all clearly from the same group.
“With only 8 weeks to turn around all of the sites, we had our work cut out” says James Read, MD at Giant Peach. “We worked hard and achieved the deadline”.
“The new designs are great, and we are looking forward to an increase in traffic” says Hayley Potter, Sales and Marketing Manager, Bowood Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort. “The fact that we can easily make changes whenever we want to using the CMS functionality gives us so much more flexibility.”
The sites are also cloud hosted so that there is guaranteed uptime. This ensures that web users can always access their site.
The sites were all launched on the same day and can be seen at:
