Bath Rugby goes live

After many months of hard work the new Bath Rugby sites - the main website, the shop website and the mobile site - have just launched!

User research has been fundamental to help ensure that we make sure that these new sites deliver exactly what the fans want - fast access to the important content. The home page of the main site gives direct access to the latest news, recent matches and critical information about the next match - when, where, ticket information, travel and weather - plus an overview of where Bath are in the Premiership table. Social media is, of course, a key consideration and we've intergrated Facebook, Google Plus and Twitter throughout.

The new shop has been designed to display products as their very best, without additional visual clutter. We now have free delivery, free returns and online discount for season ticket holders, as well as product specific sizing guides - all things that the fans said they wanted.

We've focused on making the design support the content rather than overwhelm it. Sports sites all tend to follow a similar look and feel and we really wanted to take the opportunity to break that mould and deliver something more usable.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority Orchestra

Alexander Chen has made a version of the NYC subway map that plays music as the trains intersect routes.

Using the MTA's actual subway schedule, the HTML5/JavaScript piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli's 1972 diagram.

We're mobile!

In just over two years, the majority of internet access will be via mobile devices, so we think it's more important than ever for clients to be thinking about a mobile alternative to their main site and how their content is viewed on a smartphone.

We've just finished the mobile version of our site and you can take a look by entering this URL into your smartphone's browser: http://m.positivestudio.co.uk. If you think it's something you might be interested in, give us a shout and we can have a chat about what's possible.

Slowcoast goes to Ireland

Last year Nick Hand cycled around the coast of Wales, England and Scotland – some 4,500 miles – to raise money for the Parkinson's Disease Society.

This year he's riding around the coast of Ireland – last week he left Belfast cycling clockwise around the coast and you can track his progress on the Slowcoast site which we built for last year's ride and updated for this year's. Simon Calder of BikeHike provided the mapping.

Along the way, he'll be making short films about the people he meets on his travels. You can see all the new soundslides (as well as all of films he made last year) on the website.
