This one was a bit personal for us as Sean had been an avid cyclist for years (preferring pavement and a fixed gear however, mostly due to an intense fear of breaking even more bones on dirt trails).
But, we couldn’t get too excited – there was work to be done! And serious work it was. With Emily's rather prestigious group of sponsors (Red Bull, Trek Bikes, Porsche, PFAFF Auto Group, lululemon, Oakley) great care had to be taken to ensure that each of their brand standards were met. Yes, we were sweating.
WordPress was utilized for this build to ensure ease of management moving forward for Emily and her team. Fully responsive design was also a requirement, not because it had become an industry standard at that time (which it had), but because like Emily, many of her supporters and fans are constantly on the go!
What good is a way to keep in touch with those following your progress, when you can’t even reach them properly?
That was a redundant question ladies and gents… it’s no good at all.
