About the Commission
The Barracks Trust is seeking an experienced and creative web design and development partner to redesign its website.

The Barracks is a Grade II listed building and thriving enterprise centre in the heart of Newcastle-under-Lyme, providing affordable workspace for independent businesses, makers, creatives and small enterprises.

We are looking for experience in
- Website design and development
- UX/UI design
- Accessible, mobile-first websites
- Digital storytelling
- Heritage, cultural, placemaking or regeneration projects (desirable)

The website should support four interconnected functions:
1. Promote The Barracks as a thriving enterprise centre and encourage enquiries for available workspace.
2. Showcase and support existing tenants, helping raise the profile of businesses based within The Barracks and demonstrating the value of the enterprise community.
3. Enable visitors to discover and engage with the heritage of The Barracks through accessible and interactive digital content that brings the building's history to life.
4. Promote and administer the Trust's grant-giving programme, making it easy for organisations and individuals to learn about funding opportunities, apply online and understand the impact of previous grants.

This commission is more than a website refresh. We are seeking a strategic digital partner to create a website that reflects our role as a heritage-led enterprise centre, showcases our tenant businesses, promotes our grant-giving programme, and brings the building's rich history to life through engaging and interactive digital content.
