We partnered with GASP Movie Review to design and build their dedicated online platform for publishing in-depth movie reviews and feature articles. The core objective was to create a fast, visually appealing, and easily manageable website that allows their team to effortlessly publish content and engage with movie lovers.
Key highlights of our development process and the platform's features include:
- Custom Platform Design: We designed a modern, dark-themed interface that enhances the cinematic content and provides an intuitive user experience for Browse and discovering reviews.
- Headless CMS (Strapi) Architecture: We implemented Strapi as the headless CMS, providing a flexible and powerful backend for managing all site content. This includes:
- Movie reviews with detailed fields (title, synopsis, director, cast, release year, genres, images).
- The custom 'GASP Factor' rating system.
- Author profiles and categorisation for content.
- Content for pages like 'About Us' and 'Contact Us'.
- High-Performance Frontend with Next.js: The frontend was built using Next.js and React, utilizing server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG) for optimal load times and SEO performance. Tailwind CSS was used for efficient and responsive styling.
- Core Review Functionality: We developed robust features for:
- Displaying filterable and searchable lists of movie reviews.
- Detailed individual review pages with rich content presentation.
- Clear presentation of the unique 'GASP Factor' rating for each review.
- Scalability and Maintainability: The chosen tech stack (Strapi, Next.js) ensures the platform is scalable for future growth in content and features, and easily maintainable by our team and the client.
We delivered a comprehensive solution that empowers GASP Movie Review to effectively share their passion for film with a global audience.
