As The Movie Lot has grown and established itself as a big fish in the entertainment industry – it was then only a matter of time before the need arose for a new, fresh and altogether fabulous website.

The website needed to provide an interactive and user friendly project portfolio section with a homepage slider which would outline their list of case studies and highly established clients.

JBi verdict

Well we go way back with The Movie Lot, in fact, we worked with them on our first ever project so for us it’s great to have a client come back bringing their website with them! So when Spike (Managing Director) approached us for the second time and told us what The Movie Lot were up to, our jaws literally dropped on the news of all the exciting productions they’d been working on. It comes as no surprise then that we were pretty excited to get stuck in with The Movie Lot’s next big website showcase.

What we loved about working with The Movie Lot was that we were always on the same (web)page throughout, from agreeing on the need for a website update as well as it’s branding overhaul. We think that the new website is a good reflection of not only what The Movie Lot do, but who they are and what they love. Just remember, that when the next Hollywood film comes out – The Movie Lot are most likely to be behind the scenes of it!
