A Quietly Contemporary Website
Balmoral Castle is iconic estate steeped in heritage, history, and royal tradition but the Castle's old website was hard to navigate and difficult to use. We began by restructuring the website to better differentiate the distinct areas of Balmoral, from the Castle and Estate grounds to visitor attractions, the gift shop, and events.
We also integrated DigiTickets to improve ticketing operations and Shopify to fully integrate ecommerce functionality into the main website.
These technical improvements were accompanied by a refined visual identity, starting with an updated typography system to create a stronger hierarchy and improved readability across devices. The result is a site that's respectful, dignified, and quietly contemporary.
Thank you for creating a wonderful website. It looks sophisticated and elegant, just what we were aiming for.
