La Collinette Hotel near St Peter Port, Guernsey, is a family-run hotel with a fascinating war-time history.
Its strategic, elevated position made the 19th century house an ideal location for the German headquarters of Naval Signals for the entire Channel Islands. The substantial complex of bunkers (open to visitors) located to the west of the property had a direct radio link to Hitler’s Berlin Command Centre.
Tinstar Design was asked to design a new website for La Collinette Hotel. An inviting, clear and friendly look was required. Professional photography was used to showcase the many facilities and types of accommodation available.
As with all our new projects, having obtained a thorough understanding of what the client required, we started with a blank sheet of paper. The initial sketched concepts were transposed into static visuals for consideration. These, in turn, were submitted for consideration and ultimately recreated as a working website.
Whilst the build of a site was under way, we kept a password protected, development version of the website-in-progress so that our client could check on progress and ensure that everything was progressing as expected. This is the norm for all website projects.
