OkkoloKino (Okko)

Role: Web Developer / Integrator

Stack:

• CMS: WordPress (custom build)
• Plugins: Custom plugins and modules
• Theme: Custom theme

Description:

A large-scale media portal (cinema blog) for the Okko streaming service. The project is a full-fledged digital publication combining reviews, overviews, news, author columns, a premiere calendar, and interactive quizzes.

Technical and Design Features:

Custom Architecture and Non-Standard Developments: Deep customization of the standard WordPress engine was carried out. Unique custom post types (reviews, articles, quizzes, collections) were created, along with proprietary content output modules that cannot be achieved with standard plugins.

Refined Cinematic UI/UX: An exquisite dark design with signature purple accents has been implemented. Unique magazine-style typography, non-standard layouts, and abundant white space give the site the status of an expensive print publication.

Interactive Content (Quizzes): A complex "Quiz" system was developed. It allows users to take engaging movie quizzes and receive unique, dynamically adapting results.

Flexible Author System: Detailed author profiles have been created, featuring biographies, article portfolios, photos, and filtering by category.

Signature Elements: A "Premiere Calendar" with series release dates, interactive search with multi-column output, and a uniquely stylized 404 page featuring a VHS-tape glitch effect have been implemented.

Performance and SEO: Optimized data structure and high loading speed for indexing large volumes of textual and media content.

Result:

A sophisticated media project that perfectly combines cinematic aesthetics with powerful CMS functionality. Thanks to non-standard custom developments, the site fully covers the needs of a large editorial team, while the unique design and interactive elements ensure high audience engagement.
