Pangolin Doxx Film: website of a film production company, in operation since 2015

I have looked after the website of Pangolin Doxx Film since 2015. Design, logo, implementation and maintenance come from me; the company publishes its news itself.

Starting point

In 2015 Pangolin Doxx Film needed a website on which the company can present itself to international partners in a representative way. The wishes were:

  • New design: Simple, with the films in the foreground.
  • Easy to maintain: The company should be able to publish its news itself with little effort.
  • Responsive: The previous site was not.
  • Representative: A site for international partners on which the company can show itself well.

Approach

  1. Design & logo

    A new logo and a look that leaves room for the film imagery.

  2. Bilingual structure

    All content in German and English, with easy language switching.

  3. Own blog system

    Instead of a large CMS, a small admin area with login: create, edit and delete posts, each in German and English. Plus a database backup.

  4. Operation & maintenance

    The site has run since 2015 on a small custom system instead of a standard CMS, without plugin updates. Images are compressed and only load as you scroll.
