Case study, sheet 08 of 20

Turning the event space inquiries document into usable pages

Day to day with event space inquiries, people can read the relevant section on screen, and staff can link straight to it. The printable version stays available for those who prefer a hard copy.

Existing conditions

What the venue had before

On a plan, what is already there is drawn dashed and what is new is drawn solid. This is the dashed part: how racecourse events suite handled it before the work started.

  1. The starting point

    Everything an event space inquiries visitor needed was technically available, inside a document formatted for a filing cabinet.

  2. Where it went wrong

    For event space inquiries, one document covered everything and signposted nothing. Answering a simple question meant attaching the entire file and wishing the caller luck.

New work

What we built

The material covering room capacities and the weather contingency plan now lives in headed, linkable page sections. Anchor links reach individual answers, and a printable summary survives for those who want one.
