aproductions were approached by =B52F=, an internet gaming clan based around the popular WWII game Day of Defeat. The brief was to create a new community website for members to communicate and interact, as well as provide visitors with information about the clan and its dedicated online servers. aproductions we also challenged to create a new logo for both the clan and its members.

A visitor is encouraged to sign up to the site, and from there they can use their profile to message other members or add to the forum. Once a user is invited to become a member of the clan, administrators are then able to link their online profile with ranks and awards that they achieve while playing the game online.

The site is build on a Content Management System (CMS), which includes an online administrator interface. This allows a number of members to manage the site simultaneously, storing all the editied content online for use by all the administrators.
