South Side Drive Magazine

Three concepts.
One choice.

Three browsable prototypes for the next chapter of the publication. Each is a working website, not a mockup. Each is a complete design philosophy, with four built pages, real headlines, real bylines, and a production-quality mobile experience. Pick one and we ship.

How to evaluate

Three lenses. One picked variant becomes the magazine.

  1. Buy-in

    If you show this to Yvette tomorrow, will she see her magazine elevated, not disrupted? The picked variant has to honor what exists while making clear what is next.

  2. Scale

    Can 100 subscribers become 1,000 become 10,000 without the site breaking? All three variants are static Astro builds, so the technical answer is yes. The membership UX, the content architecture, and the conversion paths must reinforce that yes.

  3. Revenue

    Is the membership funnel, the donate path, and the event-ticket CTA visible above the fold? A pretty brochure does not pay for the next thirty years. A revenue engine wrapped in world-class design does.
