Biofarm · Habitat Bank Hub · Approach & options
Recommended organising model, plus brand mid-fidelity options to compare — 4 Hub concepts and 3 Sleight Farm bank-page layouts. Every page is responsive; the desktop and mobile frames are the same live pages at different widths.
The organising model (shared across all options)
Location is the primary organising principle — the main driver of a BNG buying decision — expressed through map, region grouping or search depending on the concept.
Each bank shows the catchment / LPAs it can serve (spatial-risk multiplier), not just a dot — the real question a developer is asking.
Postcode / LPA / habitat / units filtering scales to any number of banks without a rigid menu that dates as the network grows.
A persistent national-capability band + “can’t see one near you?” means a regional cluster of banks reads as a growing network with national delivery.
Hub browses & compares; bank pages carry the depth. Clear path: Hub → Bank → Enquire.
Collapsible map/list, sticky filters, stacked cards. RATI/Inter, black on off-white, green accent throughout.
Unified page from the review call: map + search on top, editorial bank grid below. Same content & behaviour — three treatments of the top section.
Search rail beside a contained map card. Calm and structured — search and map read as one tool, the grid follows.
Edge-to-edge, full-height map as the opening moment, with the search floating over it — the most “find my site” energy. Editorial grid follows beneath.
Hero, then a sticky horizontal search bar over a wide cinematic map band. Closest to a classic page rhythm — the filter bar stays with you as you scroll.
One template serves all 23 pipeline sites (linked from the hub cards and map dots). Populated automatically with each site’s name, LPA, NCA, region and location map — and includes an internal “content to source” checklist per site: photography, site story, area/units, planned habitats, registration window.
Kept for reference — the unified page above combines them.
Split screen: an interactive map synced with a filterable card list. Best of both — “where’s my site” and the specifics (units, habitats, condition) together.
Photography-led. Large image cards grouped by region — premium and magazine-like, leaning into the brief’s emphasis on landscape photography.
The map is the hero: full-bleed interactive map with floating search and a results drawer of bank cards. App-like and most location-driven.
For planners & ecologists: a sortable, filterable comparison table (units, habitat types, LPA served, condition) — fast to shortlist, map secondary.
All cover the brief’s sections; different reading experience.
Full-bleed image hero with key facts, then stacked editorial sections. Strong first impression, photography forward.
A sticky enquiry / spec rail beside scrolling content — keeps units, facts and “Enquire” in view at all times. Most action-oriented for developers.
Narrative layout with big full-bleed imagery between sections — leans into storytelling and the land’s legacy. Great for the secondary landowner audience.
Notes: maps are live & interactive (Leaflet + OpenStreetMap — needs an internet connection; can switch to Mapbox / Google Maps with a key). Banks 03–06 locations, some Sleight figures (units, LPA, BGS) and representative photography are marked placeholders to swap for registered data.
