The Whitehorse Inn
The Challenge
The Whitehorse Inn in Somerset received a new owner who wanted to improve the website to better demonstrate the beauty of the building both inside and out.
We also identified that it was not immediately obvious that the pub catered for families with children too and that The Whitehorse Inn also offers excellent rooms, lodges and food.
Our Approach
It was obvious from the start that we wanted to feature large images, pulling in potential patrons and guests! It's a beautiful subject, with lots of history in a stunning location, so we really needed to show that off.
Next we designed a simple new logo and colourscheme with a historical theme, but made the website container full width to really maximise the users screen space no matter what device they are using.
The website was then built using Concrete CMS because it is easy, modern and secure. All images and copy was supplied by the client and we set up pagetypes with default content so that the client (or our team) can easily add to the site in the future.
Results
The project has been a huge success in the following ways...
- Offering a "window" into this cosy pub and inn
- Easier to make website updates
- Carefully steering visitors to booking links
- Stunning new brochure to help sell services

We started working with David at Made Simple Media when we needed alterations and pages added to our website. He has advised us well on what we might like to add, has always been a pleasure to deal with, is reliable, and responds quickly. I would highly recommend working with David and MSM!

I am Chief Executive of a charity. When I took over our website crashed and we lost all our data. We switched hosts to Made Simple Media, took on a brand new CMS and we have never looked back. Dave was fantastic then and remains so. Always approachable, quick to respond and great tools to help you on your way.

I honestly could not of fell on my feet more with made simple media. Everything I asked for has been done, simplifying things i was unsure about and basically made what I had in my head become a reality. A big thing for me is the availability of being able to get in touch when needed to and this was no issue what so ever. I can’t thank you enough Dave
Bobby Lord, Independant Jewellery
We are delighted with the website that Made Simple Media created for St Andrew's Church, N16. They really understood our vision for the project and turned it into reality, whilst suggesting additional ideas throughout. The whole project was seamless and enjoyable.
