British Champions SeriesHall Of Fame

The QIPCO British Champions Series Hall of Fame was launched in 2021 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the formation of QIPCO British Champions Series. The idea was to immortalise the equine and human champions of British Flat racing, to focus on the ‘modern greats’ from 1970 onwards whilst simultaneously honouring horses and people that have played a significant role in the sport. Each year a panel of industry experts will decide on inductions into the Hall of Fame.

The brief

We were briefed by our client, the British Champions Series to design and build a website to celebrate and immortalise equine and human champions of British Flat racing. It was important for the site to look premium, to really showcase horse racing history. The website also needed to allow for the public to vote for winners each year as well as providing a source of history with searchable content.

What we did

The website design is clean, simple and uses black and gold to give it a high-end feel, showcasing the Hall of Famers. We created 3D renders of the medals ahead of time which live on the site giving it a special, prestigious look. WordPress was used to allow the client to easily manage inductees and to update content over time. The platform also allows for building timelines and for easy search of historic content.

The result

We feel proud and honoured to have been involved in the exciting QIPCO British Champions Series Hall of Fame project, showcasing some of the greatest champions in horse racing, including Her Majesty the Queen.

“We have worked with Orangery for many years and have found their support, expertise and dedication second to none. Their recent management on the launch of Horseracing’s first Hall of Fame, via a brand new website, has been superb and they have created an engaging, user-friendly platform which matched our brief perfectly.”
