Capturing the beauty of an historic event space.

The Alderlea is a historic estate property in the city of Brampton that was built in 1867 for a prominent political figure. It was purchased by the city in 2002 and in 2010 the residence and grounds were restored to its original beauty. It was reopened as a wedding and event space in 2015 and has become a pillar of the community.

Graymatter was engaged to redesign the website to reflect the quality and beauty of the building and event space. We began with a thorough planning phase to understand both the immediate and future need states of The Alderlea. As we embarked on the redesign process, it became clear to us that the brand itself needed to evolve with the site in order to create a congruent brand presentation. As part of the conceptual process, Graymatter recommended that the name be changed from just ‘Alderlea’ to ‘The Alderlea’ to make it more of a destination, and that we implement this new logo design that is more elegant and grand and is suitable for a luxurious wedding or prestigious event.

Keeping visuals the priority to showcase the space.

The site was designed with the same tone and manner, featuring video footage of the space, rental rates, a gallery and an event calendar. With an emphasis on photography, the user is able to get an excellent feel for the space and its different features and areas. The site is soon to be adapted to have a full Ecommerce component that is integrated with the City of Brampton’s CRM tool. It is a mobile-friendly site complete with a CMS to allow the client to manage their own content.
