Style Guide Collection for The Addy
A comprehensive outline of the proposed site architecture and content organization for The Addy's new digital presence.
We are creating a dynamic, user-friendly website for The Old Quarry Adventure Playground (The Addy) that will serve as the central online hub for your community resource in Knottingley. The website aims to showcase your history and services, facilitate community engagement, support fundraising efforts, and include a robust Content Management System (CMS) allowing your staff to easily manage website content without technical expertise.
The Addy website will serve these key purposes:
Provide a comprehensive online presence for the playground that is accessible to all community members.
Communicate The Addy's history, mission, and community impact since 1972.
Promote daily play sessions, youth clubs, 'Run Riot,' 'Wild Tots,' and other community programs.
Facilitate community engagement through volunteering opportunities and participation.
Support fundraising and donation efforts to help maintain and grow The Addy's community services.
Allow staff to independently manage and update website content without technical expertise.
The website is designed for multiple user groups:
Seeking information about facilities and programs for their children
Interested in activities and events they can participate in
Looking to support through volunteering or donations
Requiring information about The Addy's mission and impact
Who need to communicate updates and manage website content
We'll build a dynamic website with these technologies:
HTML, Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, and Lucide icons for a responsive, accessible interface.
Procedural PHP and MySQL to store and manage content.
CPanel for reliable web hosting with industry-standard reliability.

This approach provides the perfect balance of modern design, functionality, and ease of maintenance for your team.
