Completely redesigned ergonomics
Now counting nearly half a million monthly visitors, the UniFrance Films site is taking its information system and new Internet platform to the next level.
Featuring solid search engine optimization and delivering ever-increasing content, unifrance.org quickly embraced by industry professionals due the quality of the services it provides and of the information it doles out on a daily basis (international box-office reports for French films, customized alerts sent to subscribers, a professional directory for easily establishing contacts…). But the site also became a reference tool for French cinema enthusiasts around the world.
Responsive Web Design
After more than a year of work, jointly carried out by UniFrance Films, Upian (graphic component), and Open Wide (incumbent provider of the UniFrance Films information system), the new platform devoted to French cinema, a 100% responsive design, is finally launched.
In fact, to meet new requirements related to Web usage (multi-platform), the site’s display automatically adjusts to the used device. Whether on mobile, tablet, phablet, laptop, desktop, widescreen, or anything else, you can now benefit from the site’s viewable content in its entirety.
Unifrance.org is built on an extensive database
The UniFrance Films database, the only one of its kind, is extremely comprehensive – and constantly updated – with respect to French films (features or shorts) and professionals working in the film industry both in France and abroad.
A few database numbers:
- more than 100,000 individual records
- more than 10,000 referenced film industry company records
- more than 15,000 French feature film records
- more than 10,000 French short film records
- more than 3,000 film festival/event records
New on unifrance.org: The « Google analytics » of French cinema
UniFrance.org’s graphic redesign was the perfect opportunity to completely rethink subscriber access to worldwide box-office and TV broadcast data for French films.
By systematically adopting the use of graphics with filters instead of tables, the new worldwide French cinema box-office tracking modules now look like a real dashboard, a kind of “Google analytics” of French cinema that subscribers can use as they please for reporting purposes.
And soon…
Rather than sit idly behind this first new iteration, UniFrance films wants to continue to develop new Web services and content for professionals, and also for the public at large, with, for example, the option for Internet users to register on the site, receive newsletters or other customized “push” notifications to keep track of their favourite films, actors, directors, or any other company or festival they’d be interested in.
Other incarnations of the site will soon be launched in the form of mobile applications available on the iOS, Android, and Windows Phone stores.
