Kintbury Coronation Hall

WordPress website for a village hall in Berkshire

About The Project

Showcasing Community Spaces Online

To increase the visibility and accessibility of local venues like Kintbury Coronation Hall, we designed a new WordPress website to promote the hall and its many amenities. The goal was simple — to give the community an online hub where residents and visitors could easily find information, check upcoming events, and make contact about bookings. The finished website presents everything clearly, from facilities and hire options to an up-to-date calendar of activities, helping the hall stay at the heart of village life.

Why Choose WordPress for a Village Hall Website?

WordPress is the ideal platform for village and community websites because it combines power, flexibility, and ease of use. It allows volunteer committees to manage their own content — from adding new events to updating hall hire information — without needing technical expertise. With thousands of customisable themes and plugins available, each village hall website can be tailored to suit the hall’s identity, whether you want to integrate a booking system, event calendar, or photo gallery.

As an open-source platform, WordPress is constantly maintained and improved by a global community of developers. This means your website benefits from the latest security updates, accessibility standards, and design best practices — all without expensive licensing fees. For volunteer-run organisations, this makes WordPress a cost-effective and reliable choice.

Easy to Update and Built for the Future

One of the biggest advantages of using WordPress for a village website is its user-friendly dashboard. Even users with little to no web design experience can log in, edit pages, upload images, or add new posts with ease. This makes it perfect for hall committees where roles change hands regularly — ensuring the website remains current and useful for years to come.

We also design all our village WordPress websites to be mobile-friendly and SEO-optimised, so they perform well in Google searches and display perfectly on smartphones and tablets. Whether your hall hosts classes, social events, or private functions, a well-built WordPress website helps you reach more people, streamline communication, and celebrate community life online.

Client Review

From the village hall committee

Ben created a much-needed website for us extremely quickly whilst being very patient and responsive to our every request. A key requirement was that we could add and edit content ourselves. With the ongoing support of the video tutorials he produced for us, we are confidently able to do this. The website has received amazing feedback from users for its visual appeal and ease of use. Not only do all booking enquiries now come via the website, but the number of enquiries has increased since it went live.

If you already have a logo and the content (words and pictures) to go on your new WordPress village hall website, it will take approximately two weeks to build.
