. . . Is our prime function. Specialising in providing young speedway riders with an effective, yet affordable way of projecting a professional image of themselves, their clubs and, perhaps most importantly, their sponsors, and to fans everywhere via the world-wide web.
The majority of our projects involve the complete design and day-to-day running of sites, although we also occasionally undertake commissions to design banners, menus, backgrounds and animated images for other web designers when requested.
My designs are almost always constructed using a 'framed' layout, which allows certain elements, such as the top banner, menu, and foot of the site to be viewed at all times, whilst the main page scrolls. Unless otherwise requested they are also designed for optimum viewing on 800x600 pixel monitors, as this is still the most widely used.
Rider sites are designed to be immediately recognisable as associated with a specific rider, and are therefore designed in the colours used in their kevlars and covers. For riders who prefer to frequently change their colour scheme, rather than stick with an easily identifiable long-term livery, we select neutral colours for the overall design of the website in order to avoid the necessity of completely overhauling the design at the end of each season.
Most site include PROFILE, NEWS, DIARY, SPONSOR, GALLERY and LINKS pages, but can also be tailored to include a CONTACT PAGE, VIDEO CLIPS, and GUEST BOOKS. ON-LINE FORMS and SHOPPING CARTS can also be incorporated subject to certain conditions being met. Hit counters can also be integrated into the design.
Once we have agreed a colour scheme with the client we undertake to construct custom menu buttons, banners and backgrounds ourselves, working with images supplied with copyright consent which we edit to suit.
In addition to speedway rider websites we also undertake to construct and manage sites for small companies, such as J.C. Tiling & Design, of Nuneaton, Warwickshire, whose site can be veiwed by clicking on the link below.
Although some idea of how we manage our projects and construct our graphics can be gauged
by browsing through this site, perhaps paying a visit to some of our rider sites would give a
clearer perspective, we have therefore included their links below.
Below are some examples designed by us, and produced either by ourselves, or by our trusted partners, that we have provided for current clients.
We have three Roland
machine for cutting and printing vinyl, plus a range of heat presses and a
sublimation printer, which allows us to offer self-adhesive vinyl lettering for
signs and vehicle liveries, small full-colour stickers, and transfer printed clothing
and merchandise.
But don't worry if you think you have a job we can't handle, we have excellent partners who most probably can!
The Team LBR and Lewis Bridger Racing logos, and also the team livery, was conceived and then developed when I was first approached about undertaking a website project for Lewis in his first season of Conference League racing, and have since become synonymous with him.
The current version of the TBR logo used by Troy Batchelor, and the logo used for TroyBatchelor.com were also my creations, developed at the time I began his site in 2007.
The Team KH Racing logo was developed for Kyle Hughes, initially to be incorporated onto a limited range of merchandise which I produced, some examples of which can be viewed further up this page.
Darcy Ward, in addition to using his established DWR logo, has also used one of my designs on a baseball cap. The design is also used in an animated version on his website.
We can ease your burden by liasing with sponsors about issues regarding the integration of their logos and messages within the website and incorporating their logos into the designs of your racewear and covers.
If required our services can also include on-line newsletters to sponsors and the design of sponsorship leaflets.
We can also, if necessary, produce our own news items for site updates following meetings, although it is preferable if eye-witness reports are provided by someone connected with the rider.
