Case study: Arts and heritageRoyal Collection Trust looks after the largest private art collection in the world. Its custom Drupal website, launched in March 2012, lets visitors browse and filter more than 300,000 items from the collection and lets the Trust's team manage the content themselves.
The Trust's in-house team needed a website that could present a huge range of content. Visitors needed clearer navigation, and editors needed control over how their pages looked.
Royal Collection Trust, established in 1987, is a department of the British Royal Household responsible for the largest private art collection in the world. Its authors and administrators manage a wide range of pages and content types that inform and engage visitors.
The brief asked for clearer primary navigation, so visitors could find information about the collection with ease. Administrators also wanted a choice of page templates, so they could shape each page while staying true to the Royal Collection's brand.
Pivale built the site as the development partner of the agency running the project, and handed it over at launch.
Content administrators update the site's content themselves, each with permissions set for their role.
The site draws descriptions, metadata, images and videos from the Royal Collection's existing asset library.
Visitors browse and filter more than 300,000 items from the Royal Collection.
Administrators pick from a range of templates to build landing pages that stay on brand, accessible and optimised for search.
The site launched in March 2012 to praise for its clean, modern design, user experience and speed.
Content administrators update the content, each with permissions that match their role.
Visitors filter more than 300,000 items from the collection, drawing on the Trust's existing images, videos and metadata.
