Cyclists Welcome

The CTC's Cyclists Welcome scheme has existed since CTC first formed in 1878. Once issued to all CTC members as the 'CTC Handbook', the list not only aims to help people find somewhere cycle-friendly to stay, but is also designed to promote cycle-friendliness amongst accommodation providers. Listings include details of a variety of accommodation types, cafes and cycle hire operators.

The site's functionality was incorporated into the main Cycling UK website in April 2024.

Monkey Moo Moos VW Camper Homepage

This site was built for a start-up VW camper van hire business. Artwork from a local graphic designer features high quality photography and a strong company style. The feel is light-hearted and fun, encouraging satisfied customers to add their trip photos, diaries and comments to the site. The site includes an availability calendar, so prospective customers can easily see when the camper van is available to be booked. The site was closed down when the business was sold in 2012.

Healthy Back Bag

Healthy Back Bag Homepage

This site has some complex e-commerce features, including VAT handling, export order capability, various different product discount and combined purchase discounts, and more. Custom content types were generated to make it easy to add and manage the many small "box adverts" that link from each page to other relevant pages on the site. The Drupal theme was constructed to make a working version of a series of Photoshop designs. This was a long and complex job to achieve the page layouts, especially for products, required.
