Shake Up The Cypriot Island

When Nicholas Neophytou approached DomainStar, CCW was stuck in the middle of a previous unsuccessful implementation that was developed for the 2015 festival. DomainStar helped CCW to achieve the desired 2016 goals in a very tight deadline, by delivering a cross-compatible website and calendar engine.

About Cyprus Cocktail Week

Cyprus Cocktail Week (a.k.a CCW) is a trend-setting event committed to preserve the artistry of the cocktail culture in Cyprus. Their goal is to generate an annual tradition that would promote the nightlife scenery of the island through a variety of enjoyable events accompanied with creative cocktails and delicious drinks at a much cheaper price.

Challanges

When CCW approached DomainStar, the company was locked in a contract with another Development agency, which provided poor results with no support for any future development.

The current website didn’t met the client’s design standards and was built in a less advanced programming framework. The main challenge was to re-create & implement all design and development requirements keeping in mind that the next festival was only a few weeks away.

The success of Cyprus Cocktail Week 2016 festival was about to be compromised by the tough challenges it faced.

How DomainStar Helped

Upon a 3-week project lifecycle, DomainStar has developed a slick & stunning website while it reached all the key objectives.

The client objectives were achieved by designing a modern layout that is consistent with the company’s brand image. The design also included attractive components such as retina-ready slider, CSS animations & original HD content.

We developed the website to be 100% responsive for all devices, operating systems & browsers, including smartphones and tablets.

One of the key requirements of CCW was to enable the website users to view festival’s calendar timeline in an attractive way. The developed engine was also requested with specific filters that will allow optimal understanding.

We have followed the Google & Pingdom page ‘speed test’ guideline to resolve all issues achieving a score of 96% and making the client’s website load less than 3 seconds.

The developed website has been fully integrated with CCW’s social channels, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vimeo, Google +

One of the requested features was a dynamic countdown that presents to the users with the remaining time of the festival’s launch date. DomainStar designed & implemented an attractive and responsive counter which can be easily customised by the client.

All content was designed, formatted and uploaded according to the optimal category architecture.

The project was delivered according to the expected timelines and requirements. In addition, a full training session was provided to the client in order to master the craft of successful administration.

CEO & Founder

“The collaboration with DomainStar was beyond expected…The website’s structure, design and overall look was amazing while all requirements were met! Also they were cheaper than any rivals! Young efficient workforce allowed communication to be fast and understandable. I would strongly suggest to anyone to try them out.”
