Registered Authentic
Registered Authentic authenticates motorsport memorabilia such as race-worn helmets, suits and gloves. They needed the whole operation online, not just a website. Corey designed and built all of it: an editorial public site in 15 languages, a guided submission flow, certificates with public verification pages, a staff dashboard with a purpose-built photo comparison tool, and an admin area where the owner changes colors, page text and legal pages without a developer.

Public website
An editorial marketing site built around the company's padlock RA mark. It explains the process step by step and covers About, order tracking, certificate verification and the legal pages.
Every page is translated into 15 languages, including right-to-left Arabic. The site has dark and light themes, and the owner decides which one visitors see or lets them switch.
A logo that follows the theme
The approved logo was rebuilt as a vector that recolors itself from the site theme: the padlock takes the text color, the R the background color and the A the accent.
Browser-tab and home-screen icons are rendered from the theme as well, so a change of brand colors carries through everywhere at once.
A hidden brand-kit page offers every logo format, from SVG and PNG in three sizes to app icons and color codes, with a single zip download.
Submitting an item
Collectors submit through a guided form: about you, the item, provenance, photos, review and a deposit. Drafts are saved, so they can leave and come back.
Depending on the item's declared value, the collector either photographs it live with their own phone through a secure link, or ships it to one of the company's intake locations for a hands-on inspection.
For live capture, each of the 49 shot types comes with a written brief and an example photo showing exactly what to capture. The owner manages those example photos in the admin area.
Certificates and Photo Match
Specialists prove an item is the real race-used piece with Photo Match, a tool built for the job. They mark matching scuffs, stickers and signatures with numbered rings on the item photo and on historical race photography, or lay one photo over the other with a fade or a swipe divider.
Each approved item gets a certificate number, a public verification page and a generated PDF. The matched evidence is published on both, and the public page shows it side by side.
Run by the owner
Everything a non-technical owner needs to change lives in the dashboard settings: theme, fonts and page backgrounds with a live preview, intake locations, order routing and staff notifications.
Admins can also edit marketing text and legal pages directly on the live page. The staff side has a ledger of every certificate issued and a help page that explains the two authentication paths and the status of a submission at each step.
