This is a site created for a Cycling group based in Carlisle, North East Cumbria. They were looking for a way to inform people who might be interested in their group as well as keeping existing members up to date with all cycle related events and happenings in the area. They also needed somewhere for new members to sign up and get in touch with the organisers.
With this site we wanted to focus on something that visitors would get a local feel from. We chose popular Carlisle monuments to construct the silhouette for the top banner. We also included an image from one of Carlisle Cycle events in the main banner. With the emphasis on informing interested parties we chose a central location of the home page to display the aims and manifesto of the organisation as well as telling people what kind of events would be happening.
We decided that the best solution for this site was to use Wordpress. We designed a theme and coded the styling to fit around Wordpress. We also installed a number of third party plug-ins to allow other functionality such as the galleries.
