The One Show Rickshaw Challenge and Countryfile Ramble

BBC Children in Need


What

This project consists of two parts - the microsite and registration for The One Show's Rickshaw Challenge, and for Countryfile's Ramble.

Both microsites facilitate members of the public being able to join in with their own rambles and cycle rides, while raising money for BBC Children in Need.

The sites are no longer live.


What we did

We built the landing pages with custom widgets to show progress and leaderboards, internal content pages with custom Flexbox HTML, and React registration forms which feed into the everydayhero platform.

This project continued over two consecutive years - the main build was done in Year 1, and Year 2's work consisted mainly of updates to the content, and to the design of the main content areas of the pages.


How

  • I can't take any credit for the design! They were provided to us by BBC Children in Need's design team, so I was responsible for translating a flat design in a PDF to a webpage - in some cases, I need to speak to the team about small changes that would need to be made to the designs to make sure that they rendered sensibly on mobile devices
  • I adapted last year's HTML and CSS files to update them to suit the new design
  • I had some very specific deadlines that I needed to work to, to tie in with announcements being broadcast at certain times and dates so meeting deadlines was an important part of this project. BBC Children in Need is a large organisation so I also worked with various stakeholders giving their feedback at different stages of the projects. Most of my time was spent keeping on top of the small changes and fixes that came in after the main builds had been done
  • I worked directly with the client at BBC Children in Need the whole way through the two projects
  • We built the landing pages with custom widgets to show progress and leaderboards, internal content pages with custom Flexbox HTML, and React registration forms which feed into the everydayhero platform
