Project:

The GMI team sought to do something unique: create a website portal for news that integrates news from 2 main sources plus RSS feeds from other main sources, all combined seamlessly with their own produced news. The website needed to filter and segregate news articles depending on their content, region or topics discussed and other parameters. Critically, the website needed to run automatically without any daily guidance or input, thus requiring logic to continuously update and refresh the sections based on algorithm.

GMI prioritized the mobile potential of the website, so full mobile and tablet functionality was to be considered from the very beginning. The design requirements were similarly modern, and they aspired to have a unique design contrasting with common news websites.

Because of the very unique nature of the website and their needs we built a completely custom solution from the ground up. We created a custom Content Management System to control and influence the variables filtering the news, manage incoming news items and override the algorithm default results if desired, and to add GMI's own news items and affect how and where they entered the ongoing new stream.

The solutions were so custom, in fact, that we are prevented by NDA from saying anything further! However visiting their website either on desktop, tablet or mobile will highlight the speed and depth of functionality in this complete news website.

Solutions:

• Special algorithms to sort incoming news from multiple sources
• News filtering by user
• Custom Content Management System built by Seirim with multiple access levels for GMI editors, journalists and contributors
• Custom website design
• Fully responsive for mobiles and tablets

Project

One of the world's largest tire brands (parent corporate company is Giti), GT Radial needed a new global website to modernize their product and company presentation including functionality for mobiles and tablets.

They were interested to also innovate in the methods to show their products online in their Tire Search, aiming to give their visitors a premium experience to help reflect the sport and high performance aspects of the brand. Also required were new web application functions including a Dealer Locator that quickly gives a visitor driving directions to their nearest GT Radial tire dealership which would work especially well on mobile and in various countries.

Once finished, the global site was to then be replicated and modified by us to create many further individual country websites. In total 25 country websites to be connected to the global website we were to create.

We worked closely with their marketing team to consider a design personality and user experience strategy for the website that would reinforce their offline branding efforts and help drive their overall concept for the tire range. We went through extensive design phases to innovate for them where possible but also keeping in line with their other existing materials and country websites.

We worked with their ongoing corporate use of ASP.NET and their own database, so we needed to coordinate with their own IT department to merge our newly provided site and the web applications with their system. Both the Tire Search and Dealer Locator functions needed to securely connect with their databases of information. To create these new web application functions we used ASP.NET MVC 5, the latest iteration. Our custom functions include both stylistically unique frontend solutions and original backend programming.

A very fast overall site speed and user experience was achieved by using only our own exact coding required for the application and not weighted down by frameworks. Further attention was paid to ensuring the mobile and tablet speeds and user experiences were equally as sharp with all content and functions working very well on mobile.

They required a website whose design and usability exuded class and stability.

Weiping is a celebrated Chinese artist with many exhibition credits and paintings prominently displayed in several important Chinese national and local institutions including the National Library of China. She is a professor at Shanghai University.

Our mission for the project was to naturally show her artwork prominently with the website elements detracting from her work as little as possible. We also aimed to have a positive mobile and tablet experience for visitors as they often first learn of her work and website after visiting her gallery in the Moganshan art district and were commonly interested to see more of her work online and bookmark her site for later.

The current site is the first iteration and we are currently adding e-commerce to her website.

We used the Wordpress framework with a customized theme to make it easy for to add new paintings as the site owner. The website works very well on mobiles and tablets and is multilingual in English and Chinese. A lot of attention was placed in the optimization of the images of her paintings to strike a balance between providing sufficiently quality views of her work - especially as her art relies on a signature use of fine cursive text to build up paintings at a large scale - and for the images to still not be too heavy reducing website speed.
