The Brief
Centreforce Radio is a legendary London pirate station that became a legitimate broadcaster, and its listeners care about that history. The website had to carry that weight while also doing a practical job: serving as a hub for live streaming, event promotion, presenter profiles, and merchandise sales.
What we built
The design is bold and visually driven, built on WordPress and centred on the station’s identity, with vibrant colours and strong imagery.
- Live content first. The live player and the show on air sit front and centre, so a listener can tune in the moment they arrive.
- A schedule that does the work. Each day’s line-up is listed by time, and every show links through to its own page with show info.
- Listen Back, sorted by genre. On-demand shows can be browsed by style, from Acid House, Old Skool and Garage to Jungle and Drum & Bass, Soul and Reggae, so a new listener finds their sound quickly.
- Events with ticket links. Upcoming nights are promoted with a direct route to buy tickets.
- Merch and Studio TV. A merchandise section and a Studio TV area extend the station beyond audio.
- Favourite shows. Listeners can save the shows they love and keep them close to hand.
- Social media integration. The on-air experience connects with the station’s social channels.
Behind the scenes, the site is structured so the station’s own team can add shows and events themselves as the schedule changes, without calling a developer.
The Result
Centreforce now has a digital home that matches its reputation, and one the team can keep fresh as shows and events change.
