Redefining Wandsworth’s digital presence to create an awards-worthy, audience-focused cultural hub
When Wandsworth, one of London's most dynamic boroughs with over 300,000 residents, earned the prestigious title of London Borough of Culture 2025, they needed a digital platform worthy of this honour. Our challenge was to create more than just a website – we needed to build a central hub that would showcase the borough's incredible creativity, vibrance, and diversity.
A key challenge lay in consolidating six separate websites into one cohesive platform while maintaining clarity and smooth navigation. We approached this through careful UX design, creating intuitive user journeys that would serve both locals and visitors alike. Special attention was paid to developing user-friendly forms that would allow Wandsworth's creative community to easily register their events for the upcoming Fringe festival.
Our design philosophy was centred on capturing Wandsworth's unique identity and modern energy through dynamic, joyful elements. While maintaining high standards of accessibility, we created an engaging platform that streamlines the ticket-buying process and showcases the borough's cultural initiatives in a way that resonates with diverse audiences.
The impact of our work has extended beyond mere functionality. The new website has become a celebration of Wandsworth's culture that has struck a chord throughout the community and earned recognition from the Mayor of London.

The success of this project was built on our collaborative approach. Working closely with the Wandsworth team, we remained flexible and responsive throughout the process, adapting to their needs while maintaining our commitment to excellence. The result is a platform that not only proudly tells Wandsworth's story but sets the stage for what promises to be an extraordinary year of cultural celebration in 2025.
This project marks just the beginning of our partnership with Wandsworth, and we're excited to see how this digital platform will continue to evolve and support their cultural initiatives in the years to come.
