Plaza Cinema

Plaza cinema required an attractive, modern presence to help stand out from the crowd. An easy way to gather and display movie images for listings, trailer videos, ratings and other film information to reduce staff time. Cost effective, reliable and robust design.

We designed and built a website with a cutting edge style, helping to keep the site busy and useful to local cinemagoers. Back-end UI integrated with The Movie Database's system, for easy staff administration, fetching all relevant information about a film with just a few seconds of work. Robust design and development to enable the site to work largely maintenance-free for over a decade.

An independent cinema needs good search engine optimisation in order to be found by local residents and to compete against the multiplexes. By designing the site with SEO in mind it's been almost too successful, attracting traffic from around the world!

We integrated the site's back-end for creating listings with The Movie Database (TMDB) in order to quickly provide the admin team with a quick and easy way to gather images and information about a film. This reduced the time taken for listing a movie from a half hour job to just a few minutes at a time.

As a classic 1930s art-deco movie house, modernisation has been a constant theme in staying relevant to the local community. The website reflects the past with its art-deco motifs whilst at the same time bringing productivity and ease of use to the cinema.
