Powerful, focussed, efficient. A force for nature.
The website that inspired countless rewilding projects across the UK, and beyond.
Designed to deliver
I led development of the Rewilding Britain website during my time as Lead Developer at Kind, creating a brand new Craft CMS site to replace their Squarespace site, and making regular improvements, additions, and updates over the next 4 years.
Regularly featured in national news stories, or mentioned on radio, it was essential that the site was able to cope gracefully with large, often unpredictable, influxes of traffic.
And built to scale
Every component was carefully optimised during development to ensure they were as fast, and efficient as possible, and The Rewilding Britain website was comfortably able to handle tens of thousands of simultaneous connections, serving millions of visitors every month.
The site won several awards, and Seth was a huge part of this success. He’s extremely skilled and knowledgeable, a good communicator, very efficient and a really lovely person to work with. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Editorial excellence
Multiple user groups, with finely-grained permissions, allowed the Rewilding Britain team to enforce a robust editorial workflow.
Certain CMS users were able to create pages, but not publish them. Other users were assigned as “Editors” and were able to check, approve, and publish content to ensure editorial oversight before publication. This coupled with Craft’s revisions and versioning abilities allowed a fully auditable, yet robust approach to content management.
Information Architecture
Rewilding Britain have a lot of content, and a number of specialised layouts. This meant it was essential to identify the logical way to tie these various elements together, in a way that made sense to all CMS users.
When Seth then developed the solutions required, there were very rarely any issues or unexpected design or functionality.
