A
Taunton design company has compiled a World Wide Web site that
enables residents, visitors and businesses to discover more
about Taunton Town Centre. The Taunton Town Centre Partnership
web site, found at
www.tauntontowncentre.co.uk provides more than
100 web pages of Taunton shopping and entertainment, eating
out and accommodation as well as businesses information and
resources.
The
site, described as "informative", provides resources not only
for businesses on developments, (including statistics, Taunton
Vision, and news) but directs visitors to numerous sites and
resources that can further develop their visit or stay to the
town centre. “The Entertainment section offers a great look in
to Taunton’s attractions, facilities, architecture, heritage
and culture. There's even a video slide show of the town
centre" said the site's creator, Andrew Knutt, Director of ADK
Ltd.
"It's a very well
designed, attractive and comprehensive site," said Lucy Ball,
Taunton Town Centre Manager. The site is designed to offer the
breadth and scope of what Taunton has to offer for residents,
visitors, investors and those who work here” Andrew said.
"This town centre web site will contribute greatly to the
promotion of all the opportunities, services and facilities
Taunton has to offer by providing a comprehensive,
informative, one- stop, web site. This will include a list of
Taunton’s shops, events, entertainment and the Partnership
Services and more.
The site doesn't just provide links to other sources; it
includes helpful content and direct links to valuable
information for anyone visiting or staying." Andrew noted that
Taunton Town Centre Management will be trained in all aspects
of web site maintenance in order that the team can keep the
site updated.
Andrew explained that
a corporate theme for the website was considered but it was
felt that this did not reflect the diversity of the many
specialised shops in the town centre. "We wanted the website
design to be friendly and accessible, giving a more informal,
warm and welcoming feel to those that visit and we extend this
feel throughout the website content."
ADK Ltd, a Taunton
based company, completed photography for the website (
www.adkmedia.co.uk
) and designed the new logo for the Taunton Town Centre
Partnership, which is to be launched at the same time as the
website. "We wanted the logo to depict the innovative style of
Taunton Town Centre Management while reflecting the rural
charm of Taunton. The enlarged letter ‘O’ denotes Taunton’s
central location to the South West." Andrew said.
ADK
Ltd, who specialise in marketing and design, has already
sponsored local organisations in Taunton, Andrew Knutt,
Director said “Amid the usual mission statements of quality of
service and empowering businesses, ADK is commitment to
‘getting Taunton online’. Through local community and business
projects within the Taunton area, ADK Ltd intends to aid and
encourage local businesses and organisations to use technology
such as computer networks and Internet based websites. ADK Ltd
achieves this through a variety of schemes, promotions and
sponsorships within the geographical area of Taunton. Not only
is this mission statement measurable and realistic but
fortifies a universal goal that units what is best about
Taunton’s businesses and voluntary communities.”
