Warwick Castle Web Development

Part of the Merlin Entertainments Group which includes Alton Towers, Chessington World of Adventures and Lego Land to name but a few, the Warwick Castle website development launched in April 2011.  Since launch the new Warwick Castle website has proven it's worth, reporting the highest transactional performance improvement within the Group!

The website was created in partnership with Warwick Castle's media agency and is built to maximise on cross promotion and up-selling.  Combining rich media user experiences in the form of animated promotions and games, the site showcases the attractions and events that Warwick Castle provides plus offers many opportunities for cross promotions such as add-on attractions, overnight stays and upgrades in event tickets.

The website is written in vb.net, sql server, javascript, ajax, with flash promotional elements including BBC video footage, (provided with thanks to FreemantleMedia) and utilises a customised CMS.  The beauty of this web development is that it has been built in a flexible, modular fashion to allow Warwick Castle to quickly and simply keep evolving the website by adding new modules and features to further engage visitors to the site.

There are a raft of ideas in the pipeline for enhancing Warwick Castle's website and we are looking forward to continuing to help them develop it.
