Donington Historic Festival website

Challenge

The promoters of a new historic motor racing event, Donington Historic Festival, were keen to launch a web presence to support their inaugural event. The website needed to meet three important criteria:

• Build on and support their existing distinctive period branding
• Easy to update content themselves
• Go live within three weeks

Solution

Cognique worked closely with Historic Promotions to create a design for the website which complemented the existing branding and provided the necessary structure and functionality. Once the design stage was approved Cognique built the site using a customised version of the WordPress platform to allow the client to manage content. The website was built to the agreed specification and budget and was delivered from briefing meeting to launch within just three weeks.

Outcome

I have to say this was a tight deadline by any standard but Cognique really rose to the challenge. They managed to work within our strict identity guidelines to deliver a great looking site with all the functionality we need to update it ourselves.  It’s also good to know they are always at the end of the phone when we get stuck – even when they’re on holiday!
