Building a world class website for one of the UK’s biggest sport’s brand.
Transforming the digital presence of UK’s motorsport
Silverstone asked everything—connected to create a fully functional site that reflects the company’s branding and values. The goal was to create a buzz similar to the race track while aiding people to prepare for their visit on race day.
Live site
Stack
Drupal 8, Twig, SCSS, Javascript
The approach
Based on wireframes and designed components from the design team, I worked with the rest of the tech unit to sprint plan and estimated the front end development resources needed.
As timelines were tight, we decided to use Launchpad, a Drupal distribution website starter kit I had previously worked on. Launchpad was built to reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks when starting a new development project.
My role
As the primary front end developer, I had to constantly liaise with the design and project management team to ensure the build represented the designs and kept to client timelines.
Though working initially alone, I used git to commit changes to our repository for version control and collect feedback on my pull requests to maintain a high code level.
The outcome
Though there were challenges throughout this 9 month-long project, I had successfully worked with backend developers to create a functional and customisable site, that the content team could create and design new pages in.
Since launch, we have received positive feedback and are working alongside Silverstone to improve the user experience and efficiency of the build.
