GL RDSC
GL RDSC connects defence and security businesses, academia and government across Greater Lincolnshire. We redesigned and rebuilt their site with CMS-driven members, events and news the team can manage themselves.
The brief.
The Greater Lincolnshire Regional Defence & Security Cluster connects defence and security businesses, academia and government across the region. Their old site was managed through the County Council’s platform, so even small updates could take months, and member listings and events quickly went out of date. For a cluster trying to grow, the site was holding them back.
They needed a modern, professional site that reflected a serious defence cluster, gave members real visibility and could be updated by their own team. It also had to work within Lincolnshire County Council’s branding and accessibility requirements.
What we did.
We presented three homepage concepts and built the final design from the best elements of the two light-mode options, keeping it consistent with the Council’s brand. The new site gives every member a profile page with their logo, a short description and a link to their website. Members can be filtered by sector and capability, and panel members can be picked out.
News fills itself from the cluster’s LinkedIn feed. Events are split clearly into public and invite-only, and past events move automatically into an archive. Funding opportunities, partner logos and member profiles are all managed in the Webflow CMS. Newsletter sign-ups flow straight into Mailchimp, and the membership application links to the Council’s form as required.
We kept the existing content for SEO, reformatted into clearer layouts, and added 301 redirects so no links broke. Updates that used to take months can now be published in minutes.
