This website became a massive, indexed and searchable repository of current and past films, dating back to over a century ago.
FOCUS
Migration
Coming from a previously established CMS means a lot of prior existing data needed to be carried over. Leveraging clear and defined techniques, we were able to accomplish just that.
FOCUS
Content Creation
Given the large number of titles of films and television productions, we knew we would need to give content editors a hand in data entry. By optimizing the process through semi-automation, we were able to reduce the amount of time spent in the UI for each published entity, in a highly dynamic environment.
CHALLENGE
Speed. Traffic. Clarity.
All these factors to compile into one, fully functional product at the end of the day. Whether the end user is a customer seeking information or staff member making content adjustments, we wanted the whole experience to be smooth and clear.
Users should be able to quickly find what they're seeking, and to do that, a simple but defined information structure is paramount.
Solution
Communication is key
Shining a light on hidden expectations is what sets us apart. This doesn't mean hand-holding with daily SCRUMs or lambasting stakeholders with constant questions every other day. When we take on a challenge, we become the project, our client's goals become our goals. Two heads are better than one.
Automated search indexing, find whatever you're looking for, fast.
Migrating data from proprietary or outdated structures may be a daunting task. But with experience and ingenuity, no piece of data is left behind.
