Project with Trafalgar Releasing
**Background**
Trafalgar Releasing, in partnership with its parent company Trafalgar Entertainment, creates exceptional opportunities for world-class theatre productions, educational events, and live cinema screenings on a global scale, inspiring and engaging audiences everywhere. When we first discussed the future of the online platform, the company's website was running on a C# driven content management system named Umbraco. However, something essential was lacking. A high-performing frontend needed to be supported by a backend that facilitated user functionality. The primary challenge was adhering to a tight timeline, as an important event was approaching where Trafalgar Releasing would take center stage. This meant that as soon as the name appeared onscreen, the audience would reach for their phones and access the website on their mobile devices immediately after the presentation concluded. Therefore, providing a seamless mobile experience was crucial for the operation's success.
**Solution**
The resulting website exemplifies a blend of usability, elegance, and a hint of British flair, creating a functional yet enjoyable experience for visitors. We had full control over the technology choices, and we determined that the available JavaScript frameworks at the time were too cumbersome for our needs. Fortunately, we were already successfully using our own streamlined JavaScript framework developed in-house. The backend is constructed on WordPress, offering administrators customized, AFC-powered content widgets that help content creators maintain focus while allowing enough flexibility in content types to spark their creativity.
