As you know, earlier this year Cycling News returned to Future Publishing. With that news came the daunting but exciting challenge of moving the world's leading authority on pro cycling to a new platform.
With only a few months to prepare and build the new site, a dedicated development team not only took over nearly 25 years of existing content (113,371 articles), but also built a reliable, state-of-the-art content management system (CMS).
The positive aspects of this redesign are enormous. Along with an updated and fresher look on both desktop and mobile, the site is now stable and secure with the introduction of HTTPS. In addition, the technical writing team was expanded to leverage Future's expertise in several key areas.
At the same time, the main pillars of Cycling News, built by Bill Mitchell and Gerard Knapp, have been kept at the forefront of our thinking. News, races, interviews, analysis, live reports, and expanded coverage of women's cycling are all included.
Over the coming days and weeks, we will make the necessary improvements and tweaks to our new site and design. With that in mind, we have set up an inbox where you can write to us and provide us with your feedback on both the design and the next direction you would like to see the site take. please contact us at [email protected].
We are excited about the redesign, and we hope you are too.
Daniel and the Cycling News team
