Catarina Zimbarra new site

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Plura recently finished the new site for the photographer [and longtime friend of ours] Catarina Zimbarra: http://catarinazimbarra.com.

The main idea behind the site was to encapsulate Catarina’s two main core businesses: Events and Family Photography.

With that in mind two different ambient or themes were created, allowing the user to choose beforehand the type of content he wishes to see.

Even tough one can easily switch from one theme to another within the site, the main focus was to strongly separate those different contents visually.

Catarina’s new site uses our administration backend application, pAdmin, to edit, modify or add all of the site’s content.

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Located some 85km northeast of Lisbon, the city of Santarém was the target of the IV SIL Ideas Competition, which consisted in the renovation of the city’s bullfighting arena and its adjacent area.

Spain and Portugal have seen some of their arenas [ie. Palacio Vistalegre] evolve into multiporpose buildings housing commercial areas, alongside its most notorious function. The latter also has to accomodate different types cultural and sport venues.

The entry by João Bravo da Costa and Tiago Simões focused on the cultural history of the city and region, mainly its equestrian and bullfighting aspects. A surface covers and envolves the isolated ring structure and the new, loosely distributed, program.

Plura recently developed VisionBox’s new site @ http://vision-box.com.

Respecting the newly created identity by their in-house designer Katja Schalk, we integrated many new functionalities and a more intuitive navigation and sitemap.

It uses PWP, a module specifically created for the new Content Management System [CMS] and its comprised of a jQuery javascript framework and our own jQuery plugin, p. Also includes an extensive collection of API handling methods.

We consolidated the entire company’s media in one section, Company News, organized by category [ie. Press, News]. All the video is now handled by the newly created Youtube channel at http://youtube.com/visionboxtv.

An always present ajax mailing list submission form easily allows the user email and name to be collected for Vision-Box’s newsletter

Updating banners was made easy for the administrators, by simply uploading the correct image and adding the desired title. The latter can also be changed just by adding specific parameters to its height, and x/y position within the banner.
