Website Build
OVERVIEW
Bulla Hill Railway is a much-loved community organisation, entirely run by passionate volunteers. Their dedication brings joy to both visitors and members alike through their miniature train rides and events. It’s always a pleasure working with such a committed group, and their enthusiasm for what they do is truly infectious.
THE BRIEF
When I first took over the website for Bulla Hill Railway, it was clear the site needed a significant refresh. The existing platform was outdated, difficult to navigate, and lacked key functionality for both the organisation and the public. The brief was to modernise the website, improve user experience, and streamline communication and bookings.
THE APPROACH
The website was brought into the 21st century with a complete redesign. Priority was given to creating a user-friendly experience for visitors, while making it easier for volunteers to manage updates and event schedules.
Key features included:
- A public booking system for smoother visitor planning
- A clear schedule of train run days
- Improved contact forms for general inquiries and group bookings
- Enhanced mobile responsiveness
- Implementation of a health and security package to ensure ongoing protection and functionality
Over the past nine years, the website has undergone three strategic makeovers, each one building on feedback and evolving needs, keeping the platform fresh and relevant.
THE OUTCOME
The updated website has become an essential tool for the Bulla Hill Railway community. It not only reflects the charm and professionalism of the organisation but also supports their growing visitor base. The streamlined booking process and event visibility have significantly improved public engagement.
