The GX06 DYW Preservation Group is excited to announce the launch of its brand-new website, designed to provide a faster, cleaner, and more efficient experience for visitors. The site, now live at https://www.gx06dyw.org.uk and has been rebuilt from the ground up with a focus on speed, responsiveness, and cost efficiency —while maintaining the distinctive branding of the group.
A Fresh, Lightweight Design
The new website embraces a lightweight PHP-based framework, ditching WordPress in favour of a custom-built solution that ensures faster load times and improved performance. The design closely follows the GX06 DYW Preservation Group’s logo, maintaining brand consistency while offering a sleek, modern aesthetic.
Key features of the new site include:
✔ Fully responsive – Works seamlessly on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
✔ Reduced cookie usage – Unlike many modern websites, the new platform minimises tracking, with only Google Fonts integrated as a third-party service.
✔ Optimised performance – By moving away from WordPress, the site loads faster than ever, providing a smoother experience for visitors.
New Donations Page with Mollie Payments
One of the most significant upgrades is the brand-new donations page, which now uses Mollie Payments instead of Stripe. This change reduces transaction fees, meaning more of every donation goes directly towards the group’s preservation efforts.
Stunning Photography from Talented Contributors
The website showcases beautiful photography from some of the bus preservation scene’s most skilled photographers. A special thank you to:
- Lewis Broster
- William Harris
- Adrian Gibson
- Luke Owen
for generously allowing the use of their incredible images, helping to bring the new site to life.
