Motor Sport Magazine new site template & content migration
The "End Game", or at least the beginning of the "End Game" as regards the "digital unification" programme for Motor Sport Magazine has been to migrate the pre-existing content from Wordpress to the new Drupal installation.

The result has been a truly unified digital presence that now encompasses the entire Motor Sport content offering on one consistent & elegant template, allowing for a uniquely diverting & immersive browsing experience.
Ongoing we'll be looking to bring aspects of their shop and subscription pages within this new design, as well as an active monthly programme of site improvements, but for now the extraordinary wealth of expert content is brilliantly navigable - we're proud of this work!
Motor Sport magazine's Archive resource
The latest feature in the on-going “unification” programme for the Motor Sport magazine website(s) is the restyling of their mammoth archive resource – every issue of the magazine going back to it’s inception in the 1920s lovingly scanned, OCR’d and annotated is now delivered in the fully-responsive and beautiful new template we designed for their Database in August 2015.

Our love for the sport aside was there ever an online resource so immersive as this? We feel very strongly that we’ve delivered one of the great digital time-wasters of recent times… if, that is, you consider being engrossed in this wonderful body of work a waste of time!
This project forms phase 2 of a our strategy to get Motor Sport magazine’s entire online presence onto one unified template… watch this space!
Motor Sport Magazine Database
Every now and then a job comes our way that very quickly becomes a “labour of love” for us. The Motor Sport Magazine database is one such project and we are just delighted with the work and our new client.

The work involved developing an online interface for an enormous - and growing – database of motor racing results and statistics going back to the very dawn of the sport!
We certainly felt well suited to the task; aside from Alex’s enthusiasm for the sport, our Lead Developer, Jordan Worner, is also a huge fan. Jordan & Alex’s ability to make key decisions regarding usability and data delivery from a fan’s perspective were key to this project’s success.
The site that is now live stands very much as a “work-in-progress” and should be used and considered a Beta version, but the experience is extraordinary; a deeply immersive journey through a wealth of fascinating statistics and dynamic comparative tables — take a look & enjoy!
