Overview
The Sharjah Old Cars Club needed a modern, government-grade website to showcase its collection of over 120 classic vehicles and serve as the official digital face of the museum. The platform had to reflect both the prestige of the institution and the cultural richness of the UAE.
We built a fully bilingual Arabic/English website on Drupal 10, using a custom theme rooted in warm, earthy tones — dark mahogany, aged gold, and ivory cream — to echo the timeless quality of the museum's collection. The site supports the Sharjah Digital Department's mandate for thoughtful, citizen-first digital experiences.

CMS-managed news, events, multimedia galleries, and publications — giving the museum team full editorial control without technical dependency.

Bespoke Twig theme "carsclub" built from the ground up, with a custom government typeface (SharjahDigitalXNoGaps) embedded at three weights.

A structured document library for publications cataloguing the legacy of classic automobiles — downloadable, searchable, and editable via the CMS.
Technology
Drupal 10 was chosen for its enterprise-level content management capabilities, multilingual support, and long-term maintainability — essential requirements for a UAE government institution. Bootstrap 5 provides the responsive foundation, while Owl Carousel handles the exhibition and gallery interactions.
