Objectives

This was driven by Powys County Council’s Arts Strategy, which highlighted a greater need to support the promotion of the county’s arts sector.
Improve access to the arts, culture and creative sectors
Support local businesses and organisations to develop and flourish
Provide strong networking opportunities for creative professionals
Revamp Powys Cultural Services’ digital offer
Solutions
We brought together our team of designers, developers and content specialists to work closely with the team at Powys. Using this blend of specialisms, we were able to develop a range of digital platforms that showcased the cultural offer and met the needs of Powys’ residents.
Refreshed website
Building on the first phase of the StoriPowys site, we developed a contemporary look and feel that enables the organisation to promote its wide-ranging offer. Moving the site from Squarespace to WordPress enabled us to develop a vibrant set of page templates and content blocks that can be used in various ways.
We then supported the StoriPowys team to migrate all their content to the new page templates, ensuring they were available in both Welsh and English. Alongside this redesign, we implemented a cookie tool, Google Analytics and the Yoast SEO tool.
What's on in Powys
This online events calendar enables freelancers, performers and cultural organisations to upload and promote their events free of charge. Bringing together user-friendly and accessible design with a simple approach to content, this platform promotes events across the county. With a range of easy-to-use filters and intuitive layouts, users can easily search and find events they would like to attend.
Creative Toolkit
The Creative Toolkit is a one-stop-shop that provides credible business-support resources to the arts, cultural and creative sectors. It supports organisations and freelancers to source information and knowledge that they require.
Creative Directory
This resource enables creative organisations and freelancers to advertise their work, opportunities and job vacancies. It supports creatives to raise their profile by writing and uploading their own profiles. This supports their business aims and helps them to build collaborative networks with each other. Featuring an intuitive layout and filters, users can search and find organisations they are interested in.
