The National Motor Museum

Following our growing track record of delivering impactful websites for museums and cultural destinations, we were delighted to work with the National Motor Museum Trust — the charitable organisation responsible for managing the National Motor Museum and its collections at Beaulieu

Overview

As a charitable trust, the Museum needed a site that could serve multiple functions: inspiring public interest, supporting educational outreach, streamlining donations and membership sign ups, and enabling seamless booking and ticketing.

Built on Umbraco, the platform delivers a clean, mobile-first experience while integrating deeply with operational systems like Access Gamma, allowing for real-time availability, ticket sales, and secure payment journeys.

 

Key features

Special features were developed to accommodate key programmes such as the Beaulieu One Hundred, along with a member login area for exclusive content and supporter engagement.

  • Custom-built on Umbraco: A scalable, open-source CMS tailored to the Trust’s structure and content.
  • Guest Experience focus: Clear, intuitive journeys for exploring exhibits, booking tickets, making donations, and accessing collections information.
  • Access Gamma API integrations to handle ticketing, payments, and visitor bookings.
  • Mobile-first & accessible: Optimised for performance, accessibility, and usability on any device.

This is alongside a rich variety of CMS blocks and functionality to help share the Museum’s unique stories, initiatives, and collection highlights.
