Case Study: English Heritage engages audiences with a Roman-inspired Face Pot Creator by Gravitywell

English Heritage boosts engagement with Gravitywell, driving 5'35" average time on site

English Heritage approached Gravitywell with the challenge of creating a digital experience to celebrate the 1900th anniversary of Hadrian's Wall. The goal was to move beyond a traditional interactive map and instead develop a unique and engaging tool that would allow users to explore the history of Roman face pots in a creative way.

Gravitywell developed a custom Face Pot Creator, an interactive web application that functioned like a simple design tool. The solution, built using React, allowed users to intuitively add, resize, and recolor illustrated facial features to create their own unique Roman-inspired pot. The project was a major success, generating overwhelmingly positive feedback on social media and achieving significant user engagement with an average time on site of five minutes and thirty-five seconds.
