Society of Antiquaries of London

15th May 2014

We’re delighted to announce the launch of the new fully responsive website for the Society of Antiquaries of London.

Our approach for this website was to give the Society of Antiquaries— whose legacy dates back to 1707— a digital rebrand and bring key elements from their original website to the forefront of their new site.

The new editorial-style layout presents the vast information the website needs to communicate in an easy-to-digest and simple-to-navigate format for the user, which is complimented with stunning imagery. The website is also fully responsive, allowing it to adapt to any device to enable a clear and simple user journey whether viewing the site on a desktop, tablet or mobile.

A key objective for the new website was to make the public more aware of the work the Society undertakes to meet its charitable objectives and the resources and spaces available at its Burlington House apartments—showcasing events, grant opportunities, the stunning library, fascinating museum collections and the beautiful spaces available for venue hire. The imagery used throughout the site showcases these spaces in all their glory and events bookings can now be managed internally by the Society’s team, making this process easier as well as creating a data capture opportunity.

The Fellows’ Area has been brought up to date, allowing members to create their own online profiles and share articles with other Fellows. The new search function allows users to find other Fellows based on interests or location and participate in regional group discussions. Details in this area are automatically updated on the CMS system, which also sends out subscription reminders for membership renewals.

The Society’s site is now also the new home for the Kelmscott Manor website, which was originally hosted on a separate microsite. Having these areas all pulled under one umbrella ensures they are more closely tied to the Society and helps to reinforce the Society’s brand.
