I'd like to get your thoughts on the best platform/s to build a website on. It'll need basic functions, but I'd also like to ensure people can book experiences on it. Do you have any thoughts on the platforms you use or which ones are most preferable? My first gut feeling was to go with WordPress but I'm keen to hear if there is anything better out there. TIA! 💻

We wished Ian MacLeod 'Bon Chance' at the TFWA (Tax Free World Association) Exhibition in Cannes with a one-of-a-kind exhibition stand, designed to showcase their brand’s essence and captivate an international audience.   From initial floor planning and 3D modelling to selecting materials, we showcased a captivating space that promoted their full product range while premiumising the stand's overall look and feel. We also created a stunning outdoor area for Edinburgh Gin's Terrace Bar, complete with eye-catching window graphics, and custom seating.   We’re also delighted to hear that the Edinburgh Gin Boutique at Edinburgh Airport, another one of our IMD collaborations, has just been named ‘Best New Store’ at the Duty Free News International 2024 Product Awards. C’est magnifique! DFNI Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd #clientwork #clientproject #exhibitionstand

As well as creating a series of master visuals, event experiences, visual guidelines and supporting brand toolkit, we’ve also redesigned their ready-to-drink can range, new bottled exclusives and the identity for their new distillery and visitor centre ‘The Arches’, which opens in Edinburgh tomorrow. Brilliant work by our team at D8 and everyone involved at Edinburgh Gin.
