Professional Website Design and Build in Wrexham with EssentialsMAG
A website creation case study
Hwb Yr Orsedd is a thriving community hub in Wrexham, offering a welcoming café, versatile event spaces, and a vibrant calendar of local activities. The team wanted a digital presence that truly reflected the professionalism, warmth, and community spirit of their physical space.
The Challenge: From Basic to Professional
Bethan Edwards, manager of Hwb Yr Orsedd, explains, “We needed a website design that would showcase our facilities and café professionally with easy usability for both staff and the local community.” The goal was clear: to create a website with a fully functional, modern platform capable of supporting growth, engagement, and an exceptional online experience for the local community.
Working with Vicky: Friendly, Approachable Expertise
“Our Chairman, Chris, knew Vicky Heathfield from EssentialsMAG from the local community and approached her to build our new website,” Bethan continues. “From the very first meeting, Vicky was friendly, approachable, and immediately put us at ease. She took the time to understand exactly what we needed and introduced us to an excellent photographer, Gavin J Priest. The transformation was immediate - our space looked far more professional, and the website started to combine both aesthetics and functionality seamlessly. Vicky’s energy, expertise, and genuine interest in helping us succeed made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free.”
The Solution: A Seamless Online Experience
The new website was designed to create a smooth and professional online experience, incorporating several key features. A modern, mobile-responsive design ensures the site works beautifully on desktops, tablets, and smartphones. The platform also includes user-friendly content with sections including Meet the Team, About the Hwb, and a Community Directory, making it easy for the team to keep the site fresh and up to date. Whenever the team notifies Vicky of changes or additions to events, images, or announcements, she updates the site promptly, giving Bethan and her colleagues peace of mind that their website is always current. The site also features a community-focused layout, clear navigation for event listings, café menus, and contact information.
The Results: Boosting Engagement in the Community
Bethan adds, “The new website has completely transformed Hwb Yr Orsedd’s online presence and boosted community engagement in our picturesque area of Rossett, near Wrexham. We have received nothing but positive feedback from visitors and we have seen a significant increase in bookings for both events and the café. Most importantly, we now have a professional, welcoming digital presence that aligns perfectly with our community-focused ethos.”
On a personal level, Bethan says, “I think Vicky is amazing! She is warm, inviting and although I am not at all tech-savvy, she put me at ease with her natural, comfortable style and she is extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend Vicky to anyone looking for a website like ours here at the Hwb.”
Vicky reflects, “Working on the Hwb Yr Orsedd project was a joy. From the start, I focused on listening, understanding, and supporting Bethan and her team every step of the way. My aim was to create a website that not only looks fantastic but also genuinely helps the local community connect, book events easily, and access information efficiently. I love working closely with clients, and the friendly, approachable relationships we build are at the heart of everything I do. Seeing the positive impact of the new website on Hwb Yr Orsedd and their community is incredibly rewarding.”
