Design Central UK are a luxury interiors events company, based in Cheshire who run exceptional events across the UK. We recently completed their re branding and web redesign project for them. Their main aim is to attract Luxury Interiors brands to exhibit at their events and also to attract interior designers, hotel specifiers and luxury retailers.
Now with more events, loads of new exhibitors and exciting seminar series with celebrity speakers - Design Central UK had plenty to shout about.
Their old website was in need of some TLC and an upgrade, here are a few more business aims they had on their wish list:
Refresh the look and feel
Appeal to larger brands
Excite and engage their audiences
Set apart from their competitors
Promote all 3 regional events
Here's how we did it!
Refresh the look and feel
Their first website, which we designed 4 years ago had the main aim of raising Design Central’s online profile, we focused on building their brand awareness in the luxury interiors market. Having successfully achieved this over four years whilst also surviving COVID when many other events companies folded, our aim now is to help Design Central build and expand on our previous success.
With their Director, Cath McCubbin's strong design eye, we agreed on a colour palette that maintained a nod to the previous strong purple by introducing a more subtle aubergine shade. We also exchanged the more corporate dark navy for a more relaxing and calming muted green, a colour likely to appeal to a trained interiors eye.
Appeal to larger brands
What’s important to the larger brands? To be able to showcase their luxury brands effectively. This is when we introduced the idea of a luxury events guide. This will give high-end interior designers the perfect opportunity to showcase their latest collections and new product launches. Plus our new Visitor Guide offers exclusive advertising opportunities for Design Central exhibitors.
All guides available from their Resource Library
