Bringing Stories to Life: A Modern, Accessible Online Catalogue for a Leading Publishing Company

We partnered with a forward-thinking publishing company to design and develop a sleek, modern website that not only showcases their extensive catalogue but also advertises their printing services to attract new business.

The Challenge:
The client’s existing website was outdated, with limited search functionality and minimal focus on promoting their printing capabilities. They needed a dynamic, user-friendly platform that made it easy to explore their publications, discover authors, and engage prospective print customers.

Our Approach:
Collaborating closely with an external designer, we translated bold creative concepts into an accessible, high-performing website. Given the client’s need for Level A accessibility compliance, we conducted multiple rounds of feedback to refine the design—ensuring an inclusive, seamless experience across all devices.

Key Features & Functionality:

• Intuitive Online Catalogue: Effortless catalogue management with powerful search filters, making it easy for users to browse books, explore authors, and find exactly what they’re looking for.
• Retail Integration: Direct links to retailers for quick, convenient book purchases.
• “Look Inside” Preview: An engaging feature that lets readers flip through internal book spreads, driving interest and conversions.
• Flexible Format Management: Add multiple formats for each title with corresponding retailer links, simplifying content updates.
• User Rating System: Boosts engagement by allowing readers to rate books and share feedback.
• Contextual Discovery: Books are intelligently related by topic and category, encouraging deeper exploration and increasing time on site.
• Live Search Functionality: Instantly displays matching titles as users type, minimizing clicks and maximizing efficiency.

The result:
A modern, accessible, and visually stunning website that not only showcases the publisher’s vibrant catalogue but also serves as a powerful marketing tool for their printing services.
