The Battle of Britain Historical Society wanted their website modernising, it was created in 1997 and had only a few updates since, so it was quite basic, very text heavy, and non responsive. I was asked to design and develop a modern looking and feeling website, that works across all device types, trimmed down copy with more emphasis on images in an attempt to draw in a younger audience, hoping that the next generation wont forget about what our country owes "The Few".
Using Figma for the design element, and WordPress with Elementor for the Development CMS, I was able to bring their needs to life. Incorporating image carousels, and other media clips with a new complementary colour pallet, the website both looks and feels more modern and is responsive.
Creating a separate area via login for the hundreds of society members will also allow the society's magazine to also be accessed digitally from this point forward.
The addition of the donate buttons linked directly to the society's just giving page will allow people to easily provide funding to the society which is reliant on these donations to keep running.
Soon there will be PayPal integration which will allow members to buy/ renew their membership direct, rather than the current methods of Cheque, Postal Order or bank transfer, this will hopefully streamline the process and reduce the admin burden on the membership secretary.
Taking advantage of the more affordable pay monthly service which I offer, means the Battle of Britain Historical Society know their website will remain in good hands, be regularly maintained and backed up, with regular updates, amends or new pages creating. I am always available to ensure they have the best possible online presence.
"We contacted Wayne Reed to help us build a new website for the Battle of Britain Historical Society, as none of us have the IT skills to do it ourselves. Wayne has been brilliant throughout - not simply doing what we asked but suggesting improvements and features that wouldn't have otherwise occurred to us. He's put up with dealing with several people from the society, always been friendly & helpful, and never appears to have a day off ! He's just as enthusiastic about our society and website as we are - this is clearly more than just a job for Wayne. He's fully up to date with search engine optimisation and AI - he's created some excellent images using AI.We are hugely impressed with everything Wayne has done, and look forward to his continuing help using his monthly subscription service. We really cannot recommend Reedyswebdesigns highly enough - excellent !"
