Ciclopedia is an archive of classic Spanish cycling: races, teams and memories from before the year 2000, rescued from the drawers of those who lived it. More than a photo gallery, it’s a way to search history by team, by town and by year, so every image can find its people again.

The technical challenge
Turning a scattered photographic archive (drawers, family albums, material from before 2001) into a navigable, searchable database. The challenge isn't displaying photos, it's structuring 292 galleries so anyone can find their team, their town or their year in seconds, cross-referencing all three axes at once.

What does this mean for your project?
It proves I can take a large volume of unstructured content and turn it into an organized, searchable and maintainable site in WordPress. Ideal for catalogs, directories, newspaper archives, historical archives or any business with a lot of content that needs filtering.
