Transforming a 90-Year Legacy: How We Created Leicester Museums & Galleries Development Trust's First Digital Home
Leicester Museums & Galleries Development Trust
Leicester Museums and Galleries Development Trust (LMGDT) is a historic charity (est. 1930) dedicated to supporting Leicester’s museums through funding exhibitions, education programs, and acquisitions. Despite their 90+ year legacy, they lacked a digital presence—no website or social media—making it impossible for donors and partners to find or support them.
Leicester Museums and Galleries Development Trust (LMGDT), a cultural charity with nearly a century of history supporting Leicester's museums, found itself in a digital void after organizational restructuring. Without any website or social media presence, this respected institution had become virtually invisible to potential donors and partners at a time when digital engagement was more crucial than ever. Their situation presented three core problems:
No Digital Presence
Visual Impact Unseen
Urgent Credibility Gap
We developed a Webflow-powered website in 6-8 weeks that solved these problems through:
Technical Execution
Strategic Design
Content Strategy
The transformation delivered immediate and tangible benefits for LMGDT. Their new website served as a dramatic leap from digital obscurity to professional prominence, with a design aesthetic that properly reflected their cultural significance.
“We had no online presence and urgently needed a website to raise our profile and host online donations. Rahoul provided sound advice, understood our goals as a charity, and delivered a sleek, professional website we can build on. The team were considerate, patient, and easy to work with—offering straightforward solutions, clear communication, and generous support at a reasonable cost. It’s amazing how easy setting up a professional working site can be in the hands of the right people.”
