I built Speedcubing Australia's website in 2023. Three years later I redesigned it on a refreshed brand, with live WCA competition data, rebuilt records pages and a full accessibility and SEO pass before launch.
Three Years On
In 2023 I rebuilt Speedcubing Australia's website from a grey page of links into a proper Webflow site, with a competition map, a records database and a CMS the volunteer committee could run themselves. You can read about that build in the 2023 case study.
By 2026 the site had done its job, but it was showing its age. SCA also had a refreshed brand on the way. So, as SCA's Website Coordinator, I redesigned and rebuilt it.
The Brief
The goals came straight from three years of watching how people used the site:
- Help newcomers. A big share of visitors have never been to a competition. Parents, schools and venues land on the site from Google wanting to know what speedcubing even is.
- Make records feel like news. National records are the most exciting thing in Australian cubing, and the site should treat them that way.
- Look like the new brand, without losing what people liked about the old site.
A Refreshed Brand
The redesign is built on a brand refresh by Hong Kong based designer Julienne Pancho. My job was turning it into a design system that would hold together across every page in Webflow.
The palette still comes from the cube itself: green and yellow as the primary colours, with blue, orange, purple and red in support. Everything is set in Open Sauce Sans. Cards are drawn like stickers on a cube, with a thick dark border, generous rounded corners and a hard offset shadow, and that one treatment is reused for competition cards, record cards, buttons and filter chips so the whole site feels like one object. Colours, type sizes and spacing are Webflow variables, so future changes happen in one place.
