Seamless Website Migration For Holkham Estates

The Client

Holkham Estates

Holkham Estates is an historic coastal estate in North Norfolk, centred around the 18th-century Holkham Hall and spanning thousands of acres of parkland, farmland, nature reserves and coastline. Today, the estate is both a working rural landscape and a major visitor destination, offering everything from wildlife experiences and walking trails to holiday accommodation and one of England’s most celebrated beaches. Holkham’s websites play a crucial role in helping people discover and plan visits and stays — supporting bookings, promoting the estate’s diverse attractions, and communicating its work in sustainable land management and support for the local community.

The Challenge

Opportunities To Improve Infrastructure

A Sudden Need for Reliable Web Support Holkham faced an unexpected challenge when their existing web development partner was no longer able to support their website. This left the estate needing a new partner to manage the hosting and maintenance of three critical websites: Holkham, Pinewoods, and McDonnell Caravans. 
 

The Solution

Seamless Migration and Ongoing Support

To meet Holkham’s urgent need for fast, reliable website management, we delivered a tailored, end-to-end solution.
Our team:

• Migrated all three websites onto dedicated WordPress hosting, optimising each site for speed, security, and reliability.
• Took immediate ownership of full website maintenance and development, covering bug fixes, plugin updates, security patches, and proactive improvements.
• Ensured transparent communication and structured project management throughout the process, keeping the transition smooth and stress-free.

This approach gave Holkham complete confidence in their online presence while relieving their internal team of technical responsibilities, allowing them to focus on running the estate and welcoming visitors.

The Results
