New culture website to boost area’s profile
Culture Perth and Kinross have launched a new website, which is hoped will give residents greater access than ever before to community and cultural events.
The colourful new site features easily navigable sections and 200 pages of the county’s museum and library happenings.
The website includes a ‘What’s On’ guide, a learning section aimed at schools and collections and information on libraries operating across the region.
Lovers of key services such as ebooks and emagazines will be able to access these and many other resources on the new site.
The aim is to give quick and simple access to services and to bring information on the area’s 17 library and museum venues into one user-friendly site.
Designed by Kinross design and branding agency Flintriver, the mobile-friendly site at www. culturepk.org.uk also features a moving slideshow, a prominent search bar and Culture PK live Twitter feed.
Helen Smout, chief executive of Culture Perth and Kinross, said: “We’ve worked hard to make our site easy to use for everyone, from those who are light users of the Internet to people who love their smart phones and tablets.
“There is so much going on across Perth and Kinross and we have lots more planned.
“With more than 600,000 visitors to our venues each year and a busy and exciting year ahead of us, we know this site is both timely and welcome.”
David Williams, managing director of Flintriver, said: “We’re proud to have been involved in such an important project, from early stage discussions through to launch.”
