Bespoke website & awards entry system

Red Rose Awards venue

What are the Red Rose Awards?

The awards have grown over 15 years to become a centrepiece attraction for the Lancashire business community.

They promote success amongst the county's SMEs and encourage networking and trade within the region.

Entrants and winners celebrate yearly at a lavish ceremony at Blackpool's famous Winter Gardens.

The challenge

Red Rose Awards needed a website that would provide different benefits at each stage of the awards lifecycle.

First, the website should celebrate the purpose and history of the awards and enable visitors to view previous winners and event galleries. 

In the run-up to the annual ceremony, the website is a system to submit entries and a system where those entries can be managed.

Immediately after the ceremony, the website announces the finalists and includes photo galleries from the event. 

The completed system needed to enable all elements of the process to be handled in one place, bringing entrants, sponsors and judges together.

The solution

We ran a successful project together which included:

  • A strategy workshop to establish shared project goals
  • Wireframes and plans for the finished website
  • A managed build process with each section signed off in turn
  • A custom CMS and awards management system 
  • An easily updated ceremony galleries section
  • Timed announcements of award winners
  • Easy refresh for the following year's awards cycle
  • Ongoing 1-hour response technical support

The Red Rose Awards website is now live at www.redroseawards.co.uk.

Great feedback

“The awards had become a significant event in Lancashire business calendar.

“We needed a website that promoted the awards and enabled us to accept and manage entries quickly and easily.

“Bespoke's approach was highly collaborative, which we like.

"We agreed on the exact details and specifications needed, and they then delivered the right-first-time system that proved very reliable.

“The result is a website that has made our lives easier and that entrants and attendees enjoy using.”

Richard Slater

Producer, Red Rose Awards

“We love designing and building systems with a degree of bespoke functionality.

“We also like working with highly engaged organisations that collaborate well to achieve a successful outcome at the first time of asking.

“So this project ticked all of the boxes for our team.

“We're pleased not only with the project itself but also seeing so many entrants using the system.

“The awards ceremony is a brilliant event, and if the website helps more businesses celebrate their successes there, that's a definite win.”
