The Website
It was vital that the new website represented Craig Charles for the vibrant, exciting shows he performs, as a well respected and well know celebrity the website had to follow strict brand guidelines. by showcasing his live shows and providing an easy user journey. We supported Coalition Presents through several in-depth consultation periods which included design concepts, systems and integrations, along with competitor research, to identify the best ‘user experience’.
The site is fully responsive, this was essential in order for them to maximise the usability of their new website on all kinds of devices in order to reach as wide a range of people as possible in this ever-expanding digital age.
Technology
We developed the Craig Charles website using WordPress as the core. From this, we have developed a custom theme and several custom plugins to provide the functionality required. The tickets and live dates part of the site is integrated using the Bandsintown Events plugin making it easy for Craig to showcase his upcoming events and allow users to find and purchase tickets easily.
We also integrated Mailchimp forms for subscriber data capture.
I highly recommend Angry Apple Media. They brilliantly developed Craig Charles’ website, capturing his essence perfectly. Their professionalism, creativity, and timely delivery impressed us greatly. Right from the initial consultation, they demonstrated a deep understanding of our goals and objectives. They asked the right questions and took the time to listen to our requirements, ensuring that every aspect of the website would align with Craig’s persona and appeal to his diverse audience.
