The Furniture Makers Company is the City of London Livery company and charity for the furnishing industry. City of London livery companies comprise London’s ancient and modern trade associations and guilds. The earliest guilds date back to the 12th century when people working in the same craft in London grouped together to regulate competition within their trade and maintain high standards.

Today, there are 111 liveries that support matters of trade, education, charity and fellowship within their sector whilst also playing an integral part in the City’s governance. The Furniture Makers Company is recognised as one of the most progressive livery companies of the City of London, helping students, designers, makers, business owners, retailers and current or former employees within the furniture industry.

PAGE were delighted to be approached to assist with the design and development of a new company website to support the objectives of the organisation. The new site needed to provide visitors with an improved user experience whilst also delivering an easier to use content management facility for administrators to make regular updates in house.

As the website needed to represent three distinct pillars of the organisation in Education, Excellence and Welfare, we initially carried out workshops to establish a definitive brief for the project and to ensure the requirements of each were considered. This led to a contemporary design that was then developed as a fully custom build in WordPress for ease of content management by various members of the company.

Since its launch, PAGE has continued to support and develop the site further with additional functionality to further benefit its members.
