A new name that needed a new home
The National Tramway Museum is a full day out in Crich, Derbyshire: vintage trams, a recreated period village and a collection of national importance. When the attraction rebranded from Crich Tramway Village, ABCode was chosen to design and build its new online home.

Built around planning a visit
We started with the visitor rather than the sitemap: clear journeys to times, prices and travel, an events programme the museum manage themselves, and fully editable pages throughout. Launched on managed hosting with ongoing support, so it stays fast and secure season after season.
What success looked like
Success meant launching the National Tramway Museum identity properly online: a site where the essentials every visitor needs, times, prices and getting here, sit one tap away, and where the packed events programme finally has a proper stage.
Just as important was what came after launch. The museum team needed to edit every page themselves, on a fast, accessible platform that does a national collection justice and that they can rely on year after year.
An online home worthy of a national collection
The rebrand launched with a website to match: the National Tramway Museum now has an online home that is warm, clear and built around the day out. Visitors get the essentials in seconds, the events programme has the stage it deserves, and the whole site is run in-house by the museum team.
Every page stays fully editable, so day-to-day changes never wait on a developer, and the whole platform is hosted, maintained and supported by ABCode.
