Summary

An informative showcase site for a wedding planning business

About the Project

Thornton Events are a wedding planning and styling business based in the northwest of England. They create beautiful ceremonies and naturally sought a site to match.

This site was worked on as part of my employment at FenechDigital Limited.

The Brief

The brief for Thornton Events was to craft a site based off the design that really promoted the visual appeal of the ceremonies they created. The site needed to have the key basics of information, a blog and a portfolio area to showcase the latest ceremonies they’d designed.

The Approach

WordPress was used as standard in the agency I worked at. The use of custom post types and advanced custom fields, coupled with flexible builder fields, allowed for a strict separation of content types whilst providing the dynamicness required for them to build new portfolio pages with ease and simplicity.

The Outcome

Thornton was recieved by the client with praise for it’s integration of Instagram, the ease of adding new content and the relation of the design principles to the site.

Reflection and Key Skills

Thornton Events was the first project I’d ever worked on at an agency and taught me a great many things, especially that you’re never going to get something right the first time (when designs are involved especially).

There is always a learning curve, no matter how skilled you think you may be!
