The challenge

A challenging, rewarding ride that needed one place for riders to plan it.

The St James Cycle Trail is known for a challenging and rewarding high-country mountain biking experience in New Zealand.

Riders need to know what they’re taking on. The opportunity was a website that worked as the main information hub for anyone planning to ride.

Inspiring enough to make people want to ride. Practical enough to help them ride it safely.

What we did

We built a website that balances inspiring visuals with practical trail information.

  1. Inspiring imagery. High-quality images of the trail and its landscape.
  2. Comprehensive trail details. Clear navigation to trail information, including elevation and landmarks.
  3. Safety up front. Prominent safety information, so riders arrive better prepared.
  4. Responsive design. The site works on any device.

The outcome

A vital resource for a better-prepared riding community.
