J.K. Rowling Ð Case Study

Client:The Blair Partnership
Services:Creative

We were proud to have won the opportunity to design and build a new website for J.K. Rowling, the author of the world famous Harry Potter series of books.

The brief was to create a website to reflect the next chapter in J.K. Rowling’s life and career with the capacity to manage the massive traffic generated by the author’s huge fan base and ultimately to integrate information about the author, her new projects, and of course Harry Potter.

The transformed website incorporates bespoke illustrations by the author, as well as insights into her latest novel for adults, making this site the hub for all J.K. Rowling fans.

Using the latest web technology, including HTML 5, CSS 3 and Java Script, the new design centres on an interactive, scrollable timeline that offers users an unparalleled, content-rich experience incorporating a host of video and photographic material. The timeline can be filtered to focus on J.K. Rowling’s biography, on Harry Potter or on her new book, providing a framework that will grow and evolve with the project through creation, publication and beyond.
