BAFTA winning director wins award with new website

Design Development

Surrey Digital Website Winner 

The Task

Anthony Philipson is a British director well known for his striking work in dramas and documentaries, including his work on “Ross Kemp On Gangs”, for which he was awarded a BAFTA in 2007.

Anthony required a web design that could advertise his work and list his accolades, as well as shine a spotlight on most successful works including popular titles “My Mad Fat Diary” and “24 Hours in A&E”.

This would need to be showcased on a functional, mobile-friendly website that would be easy to use and keep his content (including his biography and awards/nominations list) front and centre.

The Next Steps

Thunderbolt designed and built a mobile-friendly website that looks good and functions comfortably across computers, laptops, and mobile devices of various screen sizes, with the tiled showcase resizing to fit screen dimensions.

The Results

Award-Winning Design

The design is simple, clean and minimalistic to ensure focus on content showcase rather than the site itself, with the main body of the site featuring a tiled showcase area of Philipson’s chosen projects with associated information, including Philipson’s role, the channel aired on, and a short quote sampled from reviews, as well as playback of a short clip or trailer of the project.

Judges at the 2017 Surrey Digital Awards agreed that the new mobile-friendly website is ideally suited to its purpose, awarding the site a Gold for best sports & entertainment website and Bronze for best responsive website.
