Overview

Grant Macdonald have 40 years experience in providing silver and gold objects d'art to clients worldwide. One of the largest silversmiths in the UK, Grant Macdonald are now exporting the majority of their pieces worldwide to be featured in both public and private collections. In 1998 the company completed an eighteen foot high cross and orb for the rebuilt Dresden Cathedral. Grant Macdonald also specialise in heraldic pieces for the City of London. Their work can be found at 10 Downing Street, and the company have received an award from Her Majesty the Queen for Enterprise in Internation Trade in 2006.

Challenge

Grant Macdonald wanted a new website that would fully support their existing brand. The online catalogue means that customers can view the entire collection. The website is intuitive and easy for customers to use. The galleries presented on the website can be viewed in sub-categories, and pictures can be viewed in full screen mode, providing a high definition image that does justice to the item photogaphed. The website also has a HTML newsletter that can be configured and sent to users via the simple content management system that we have put in place.

Solution

The content management system gives Grant Macdonald the flexibility to update and alter aspects of the website, including the content of the galleries, when it suits them. The fully interactive online catalogue allows website users to turn the pages as though they were reading from a hard copy, providing a convenient experience for the customer through a dynamic feature.

At OMdeSIGN we were delighted to have the opportunity to work with Grant Macdonald, and the company have since praised us for designing the innovative and intuitive online catalogue, which has proved popular with some of their most high-profile customers and increased the value of orders made via the website.
