Overview

Project Story: Transforming True North Cycle Hub Into a Modern Digital Experience

True North Cycle Hub is a specialist cycling and e bike destination based in Sheffield, United Kingdom, offering bike sales, workshop services, e bike hire, coaching, guided adventures, and cycling experiences.

The existing website required a complete visual refresh, improved user experience, WooCommerce enhancements, custom functionality, and ongoing technical support. ORA Infotech partnered with the client to redesign and redevelop the platform while improving performance, scalability, and customer engagement.
