First website · Newcastle
A first page for the promenade arcade.
Before vs after
Drag the handle. The left shows what a first-time visitor currently finds — the arcade's Facebook page as it loads without an account; the right shows the proposed first screen.
Independent concept. Created from public information to demonstrate an idea. Not commissioned or approved by the business shown.
See it in motion
A still can't show the hero, the menus or how fast you reach the main action. These are ten-second visits to each version, captured the same way.
This business has no website of its own — its current public presence is a social page behind a login. There is no live site to demo.
Second surface · Attractions
Attractions, seasonal hours and family offers.
A day's plan for families arriving at the Central Promenade — the three things to know before you go in: what is inside, when it opens and any offers running that season.
A companion to the opening screen: attractions named, seasonal hours placed and a standing slot for family offers when the arcade posts them.
The reasoning, in order
Three changes to put the promenade out front.
Kent Amusements has no website. Searching for it lands on a Facebook page that greets a first-time visitor with Meta's cookie dialog and a login form — the arcade on Newcastle's Central Promenade sits greyed out behind them.
Change: A first screen with nothing in front of it, opening on the one place fact that matters: fifty summers of family fun on the Central Promenade.
Dodgems, the arcade floor and the new VR games live only as fragments across feed posts and third-party write-ups, so a family planning a day out has to scroll to learn what is actually there.
Change: The attractions named once along the foot of the screen — dodgems, VR, arcade — with the phone number the business already publishes one tap away.
Opening times are seasonal and live on social, so a first-time visitor has to already follow the page to find them. No current family-offer details were verified for this concept.
Change: A standing ticket for today's hours, with a clearly labelled proposed slot for seasonal family offers whenever the arcade posts them — both pointing at the Facebook page it already updates.
Sources & limits
Clear about what is real.
The before image was captured from the arcade's public Facebook page on 22 July 2026, with Meta's cookie dialog and login prompt left in place — that is what a first-time visitor without an account meets. The Central Promenade address is confirmed by Companies House (NI688147). A March 2026 TripAdvisor review mentions new VR games. Indoor dodgems are named on a local hotel activities listing for the Newcastle site. Longevity on the promenade is supported by a BBC Your Place and Mine recollection of working at Kent Amusements in the late sixties — the concept's “fifty summers” line is phrasing of that long tenure, not a dated founding claim. The published phone number appears in local directories. No current family-offer details were verified; the offers line on the concept is a proposed update slot only. The concept introduces no photography; the marquee illustration and ticket mark are concept work, not the business's own artwork. Content is limited to the Newcastle, Co. Down site and does not refer to any same-named arcade elsewhere. The layout, copy hierarchy and proposed experience are independent concept work.
