    // The Brief

    Marwell Wildlife needed a new website to support their conservation charity — day tickets, annual membership, events, education programmes, weddings at Marwell Hall. The site had to serve families planning visits, schools booking education, and couples exploring venue hire.

    // The Challenge

    Working as developer alongside their in-house design team. Translating complex designs into a flexible WordPress build. ACF flexible content for varied page layouts — hero variants, ticket blocks, animal feeds, news, events. Content editors needed full control without breaking the design.

    // The Approach

    Custom WordPress theme built to design specs. ACF for flexible content blocks — repeaters, groups, and conditional logic so editors could assemble pages without dev support. Clean template hierarchy for animals, events, education. Optimised for the high-traffic, family-day-out use case.

    // The Outcome

    • Flexible content system for editors
    • Tickets, membership, and events integrated
    • Hampshire's top attraction online
