The Challenge

Elmore Court approached 16i with a need for an updated website which would both fully reflect the prestige of the brand, but also support the integration of a new event management platform.

Approach

16i worked closely with Elmore Court to understand the key requirements of the new site from both an aesthetic and a technical perspective, with full scoping being completed as part of an initial design and functionality workshop with the Elmore Court team.

A key part of the challenge was to seamlessly integrate the new event management platform with the site, which allows customers to create and share their own wedding website with guests - all contained within the Elmore Court site and brand.

Key features / customisations

The site includes a number of key features and customisations in order to help streamline the user journey and ultimately encourage users to 'Get in touch'.

In particular, full-width, high-end imagery helps to reflect the prestige of the brand; whilst the use of hand-drawn illustrations and artwork throughout really bring the site to life. The streamlined enquiry form also ensures that users can submit an enquiry quickly and easily.

Finally, the component-led design means that different component blocks (such as images with text overlays or the Instagram feed) can be added or removed in order to build bespoke page layouts via the CMS.
