Overview

Industry: Funeral and cemetery

Company background: The Willows Natural Burial Ground is a 5.8 acre gently sloping site, set in the beautiful Charnwood countryside, located on the edge of the small rural village of South Croxton. It offers a range of memorial and burial options, in a tranquil setting in Leicestershire.

Need

The team at the Willows Natural Burial Ground required a new website and branding designed by FDC's design agency. One major concern was that they needed the project to be handled sympathetically, considering the nature of the business. They performed an online search for a local Leicestershire design agency and they came across FDC. It was a perfect match as Chris and Jenny wanted an agency that was local.

"We approached three other companies, but decided to work with FDC because of Nick and Dean's enthusiasm about what they could offer us." Chris Scroby said. "As well as the website we were offered brochures and business cards as part of the package. As a new business this was important to us because it enabled us to keep the same design throughout our promotional material."

Solution

The team at FDC came up with one of their most aesthetically pleasing websites to-date for the Willows Natural Burial Ground website. It is a mixture of information and colourful images and the Willows have received nothing but praise since it has gone live.

Chris added: "The finished result is better than we could have hoped for. Everyone who was been onto the site has commented on how lovely it is and how easy it is to use.

"It's been a total success, FDC met our budget, and we didn't encounter any issues as the project moved along. If we had any issues they were always willing to have a chat to us over the phone to sort out any queries we had.

"We'd be happy to recommend FDC to anyone in the future. It's great to see that our initial brief, which was a mixture of everything turn into something real. We're extremely happy with the website and are looking forward to seeing the brochure and business cards in the future. We'd be happy to work with FDC again should we need any design help in the future."
