Strategy
Readers appreciate choice; thus we ensured that the content for Sharks Uncaged could be accessed on both mobile devices and desktop, with two platforms developed to allow for this. Simple navigation tools allowed readers to scroll vertically back-and-forth through different ‘chapters’, and horizontally to read the specifics of a selected article.
Web Development
Using WordPress and a combination of advanced jQuery on a MySQL database, we developed a platform that was easy to use, quick to update and offered a simple user experience. As the majority of readers reside in South Africa, a dedicated South African server ensured that the performance of the platform was always optimal.
