Project Portfolio Overview
Comic Watch, an online platform dedicated to news and reviews in the realms of comics, television, movies, anime, and gaming, sought a website that could mirror their fresh and dynamic voice in entertainment journalism. Their goal was to provide a clean, user-friendly site that engaged visitors with visually appealing content while maintaining easy navigation. The project required a full web development solution with specific features tailored to meet their editorial and technical needs.
The website was built using the versatile The7 Theme, known for its responsive design capabilities, paired with WPBakery Page Builder, giving Comic Watch the flexibility to customize their pages with ease. The homepage features a stunning slider powered by Slider Revolution, showcasing the latest news and reviews in a visually engaging format.
A unique requirement for Comic Watch was the ability to allow authors to submit their review articles directly from the frontend, complete with images, ratings, and meta information. To meet this need, we developed a custom plugin solution that integrated AccessPress Anonymous Post Pro and WP Review Pro. This innovative solution streamlined the article submission process, enabling Comic Watch’s authors to contribute content efficiently while maintaining the structure needed for categorization and review ratings.
In addition to the article submission functionality, Comic Watch aimed to have the website optimized for mobile users, particularly to meet the standards required for Google News submission. To address this, we implemented and customized the AMP for WordPress plugin. This ensured that the site’s mobile pages would load quickly and maintain a consistent look and feel with the desktop version, improving both user experience and SEO performance.
Another core aspect of the project was ensuring that the website remained responsive across all devices. We leveraged the responsive design capabilities of The7 Theme, ensuring that Comic Watch looks great on any screen size, whether viewed on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone. The responsive design was further enhanced by the AMP implementation, giving mobile users a fast and visually consistent browsing experience.
Overall, the project successfully met Comic Watch’s needs for a modern, functional, and mobile-friendly website that supports user-generated content, review ratings, and fast mobile performance. Golden Oak Web Design is proud to have played a role in bringing Comic Watch’s vision to life, providing them with the tools needed to engage their audience and continue growing their platform.
