Big Picture TV

‘Cimex has proved the ideal partner for Big Picture TV. Their attention to detail during the initial planning phase meant that they built a logical and easily navigable information architecture and backend that met every possible administrative need. Cimex was absolutely first rate and produced quick results,’ Founder: Big Picture TV.

Brief

Big Picture TV approached Cimex to create a browseable and logically structured archive for a growing collection of filmed interviews of some of the world’s leading climate change experts. A best of breed website was required to match the quality of interview material, which includes films featuring Nelson Mandela and HRH Prince of Wales.

Solution

Cimex developed a creative and inspirational online branding solution for Big Picture TV (BPTV), restructuring the existing data into a streamlined and more flexible database.

The project included:

• The creation of a management system and re-engineering of the front end of the site
• Building logical information architecture with engaging new navigational devices and display of the content, including a new flash video player
• Designing a fresh brand logo and look and feel
• Developing a flexible content management system that is easy to update and scaleable for future development
• The site was built in semantic, standards compliant XHTML/CSS and powered by PHP/MySQL
• Incorporation of Web2.0 technologies e.g. Google maps, meta-tagging and categorised search facilities

The Big Picture TV website is receiving upwards of 8,000 unique user visits per month, without marketing.
