Chinacake Productions
Website

Created by Jeremy Hickman

Introduction

My client Hannah Wise wanted to create a new website to showcase the services offered by her business ChinaCake Productions. In addition, she wanted a way to show prospective customers a collection of her best work to help prospective clients see its quality, creativity and diversity.

The homepage features a striking background video loop with superimposed graphic elements to simulate a camera viewfinder, with an option to play a high quality showreel in full-screen with audio.

A portfolio section of the site shows a list of past work, which can be filtered by client name, genre and service used. Each item has it’s own page giving full details of the project alongside a video showing an video excerpt or trailer of the work.

Strong calls to action feature throughout the site, to enable the viewer to easily make contact and find out more about the services available.

The site is built on the WordPress CMS using a bespoke theme, which features a custom design and search engine optimisation considered from the very inception of the project.

Client testimonials

Jeremy has completely rejuvenated my video production company website and I couldn’t be happier with the new visual design and slick navigation. I have received wonderful feedback from clients and friends.

At the start of the project I met with Jeremy over a coffee which was an important part of the process.

Jeremy was able to really listen and understand my area of work and the type of clients I work with and then offer advice on how best to achieve an effective website to showcase the services I offer.

Throughout the website project I received regular updates from Jeremy who was contactable whenever I had a question or wanted to discuss a new idea.

I would highly recommend Jeremy for his professionalism, approachability and skill in designing a compelling and creative website.
