Visit Woodhall Spa: a directory built for discovery

A useful visitor directory involves more than putting business names on a page. Visit Woodhall Spa needed to bring together places to eat, shop and stay, local events, useful locations and a simple way for the team to keep everything up to date.

Rather than a long directory with little more than business names, we gave places their own pages. Each listing can include useful details, photographs and contact information. There are different levels of listing for businesses that want a more prominent presence, and the homepage brings those businesses into the wider story of the village.

One of the more useful additions is the interactive map. Visitors can search for somewhere specific, filter by what they are looking for and see where it sits in relation to everything else. The map works alongside the individual listings, so it is easy to go from finding a place to reading more about it.

The site also has space for events, local history and visitor information. Behind it, a tailored editing area lets the team maintain listings, manage enquiries, update the homepage and look after the map without having to ask a developer every time something changes.
