About Tour de France Femmes Rotterdam
This year’s Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2024 started with a special first: a Grand Départ in the Netherlands, from the heart of Rotterdam! For the first time in history, this iconic women’s cycling race started outside of France. With three spectacular stages through the Netherlands, from Rotterdam to The Hague, a ride through Dordrecht, and a time trial right through Rotterdam, the event put women’s cycling in the spotlight in a big way. It provided packed streets and a unique atmosphere enjoyed by thousands of fans.
As the local epicenter of this historic sporting event, the Rotterdam organization had one mission: to put up a website that perfectly conveyed this special story and its amazing energy.
A powerful collaboration with Campaign
The assignment for the Tour de France Femmes Rotterdam website came through our partner Campagne.nl. They provided the sketches, after which the team at Webtify converted them with care and precision into a fully functional custom website. Thanks to our experience and technical expertise, a platform that perfectly matched the wishes and look of this unique event was up and running in no time.
The result was a fast, well-organized website that immediately provided both fans and participants with all the necessary information. And that was necessary too, because at its peak the site attracted no less than 80,000 visitors in one day! Thanks to our cloud hosting and smart solutions, everything kept running smoothly, even during this enormous traffic.
