Website Network Development

Great British Talent is an established entertainment booking network connecting event organisers with professional performers, speakers, and entertainers across the UK. The objective of this project was to create a structured multi-site platform that would allow each talent category to operate as its own specialist website while maintaining a consistent system for managing artists, enquiries, and bookings.

The network includes dedicated platforms for multiple sectors of the entertainment industry, including:

  • Great British Moderators
  • Great British Musicians
  • Great Sports Speakers
  • Great British Magicians
  • Great British Comedians

Each website is designed to serve a specific audience while remaining part of a unified system that supports the wider Great British Talent brand.

Multi-Site WordPress Platform

The first phase involved developing a scalable WordPress architecture capable of supporting multiple websites while maintaining consistent functionality and design standards across the entire network.

Each platform was structured to present performers clearly with professional profiles including images, biographies, experience, and areas of expertise. This allows event organisers to quickly browse available talent and identify suitable performers for conferences, corporate events, awards ceremonies, and private functions.

The system was designed to ensure that new performers can be added easily, profiles can be updated efficiently, and each website remains focused on its own specialist market.

This approach provides flexibility for the business to expand into additional talent sectors in the future while maintaining a clean and organised platform for visitors.

Custom Shortlist & Enquiry System

A key requirement of the platform was the ability for event organisers to browse multiple performers and create a shortlist before making an enquiry.

To achieve this, a custom shortlist system was developed allowing visitors to:

  • Add performers to a shortlist while browsing profiles
  • Review selected talent before making contact
  • Submit a single enquiry covering multiple performers

This functionality improves the user experience by allowing event planners to compare options and send targeted enquiries quickly, helping increase both engagement and enquiry quality.

The system also simplifies the enquiry process for the Great British Talent team by structuring requests more clearly and capturing the information required to respond efficiently.

Optimised Performer Listings

Each performer profile is designed to present talent in a professional and engaging format while supporting strong search engine visibility.

Profiles include detailed descriptions, performance information, imagery, and structured content designed to help potential clients understand the performer’s experience and suitability for different types of events.

This structured approach ensures that performers are easy to discover both through site navigation and search engines, helping drive consistent traffic and enquiries across the network.

Ongoing Growth

The platform provides a flexible foundation for continued expansion of the Great British Talent network. New performers can be added easily, additional sectors can be launched when required, and each site can evolve independently while remaining part of the wider system.

Since launch, the network has provided a professional online presence for multiple entertainment sectors, helping connect event organisers with high-quality performers across the UK.

Every project begins with a conversation to understand your business, your goals, and what you want your website to achieve. From there, I plan the structure, design, and functionality needed to create a website that reflects your brand and supports your growth.

The design and development phase includes building a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use website tailored to your requirements. This may include custom functionality, integration with your existing systems, and ensuring the site works perfectly on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

Before launch, everything is carefully tested to ensure performance, reliability, and ease of use. Once live, I remain available for ongoing support, updates, improvements, and search engine optimisation to help your website continue to perform and grow over time.

I work with businesses of all sizes, from sole traders and small local companies to larger organisations and national brands. Many of my clients are small to medium-sized businesses who need a professional, reliable website that helps them compete and grow.

Every project is approached in the same way — with careful planning, clear communication, and attention to detail. Whether you need a simple website to establish your presence or a more advanced system with custom functionality, the solution is tailored to your business and your goals.

My focus is on building long-term relationships, providing ongoing support, and ensuring your website continues to deliver value as your business evolves.

Yes. I regularly work with existing websites, improving their design, performance, and functionality without necessarily needing to rebuild everything from scratch.

This can include modernising the appearance, improving speed, fixing technical issues, adding new features, improving mobile usability, or optimising the site for search engines. In many cases, a well-planned update can significantly improve results while preserving the parts that already work well.

If your current website is limiting your business, I can also advise honestly on whether an upgrade or a full rebuild would be the better long-term solution. The goal is always to provide a reliable, professional website that supports your business now and into the future.

Most websites are built using WordPress, the world’s leading website platform, known for its reliability, flexibility, and ease of management. WordPress allows businesses to manage their own content easily while providing a strong, scalable foundation for future growth.

For businesses selling products online, WooCommerce is used to create secure, fully functional eCommerce systems. This allows products, orders, payments, and delivery options to be managed efficiently, with the ability to extend functionality as needed.

In addition to standard features, custom development can be carried out to create tailored functionality, integrations with external systems, and performance optimisations. All websites are built to be fast, secure, mobile-friendly, and designed to perform reliably long term.

Yes. Ongoing support is available to ensure your website continues to run reliably and remains up to date as your business evolves. This can include content updates, technical improvements, security updates, performance optimisation, and general assistance whenever needed.

Many clients choose to have their website hosted and maintained by PWD Designs, which ensures everything is monitored, secure, and properly maintained. This allows you to focus on running your business, knowing your website is in safe hands.

Support is flexible, with both ongoing arrangements and one-off assistance available depending on your requirements.
