Objectives
To develop an engaging digital experience for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) that will enable them to deliver their incredible archives to new and existing audiences.
Solutions
Back in 2015 we created an app for RPS to share their collections, which was powered by Nymbol, our bespoke content management system (CMS). With over 500 RPS objects already stored in Nymbol, it was the perfect base from which to develop the new website.
Online workshops
Created in WordPress, the new website uses a custom-built tool to present these objects. By developing a simple search function that enables users to look at the collection using keywords or themed filters we have provided different routes for exploration. Similarly the use of WordPress enabled us to employ RPS branding in a fresh, creative way.
Sector research
Alongside collections, RPS were keen to tell some of the remarkable stories from their 180 year history. Our use of WordPress meant that we developed an eye-catching exhibition template that enables RPS to create long-form articles.
