ReachTV
Re-platforming and further developing ReachTVs website in WordPress
A functional WordPress website which connects to their APIs
ReachTV is America’s largest in-airport TV network and shares authentic stories and shows, with travellers around the world. When they got in touch they had an existing website built on its own custom CMS, but wanted the flexibility and usability of a bespoke WordPress built site which would allow them to easily add shows, episodes, categories, airports, etc. with minimal faffing around.
A new WordPress website which gives back control to the user
I took the existing site as a foundation and turned it into a much improved version powered by WordPress. Then using an AdobeXD design supplied by the client, I made several updates to sections around the site – such as improving the airport search functionality and adding Vimeo embedded video backgrounds. The most complex part of the build was integrating the site with the live video stream from an external API and pulling it into a modal window the user can click to open.
We knew travellers and advertisers around the world would be streaming video content from the site, so we decided to embed the videos using Vimeo. This meant that pages and video content would load quickly and the site wouldn't become sluggish over time as the amount of content grew.
The site is likely to go through further phases of design and development improvements over the coming year, as our primary goal was to get the site re-platformed and live ASAP. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it develops over time.

We discovered Lewis as a result of a rigorous search for a new website designer during lockdown and... what a find! Lewis’ work speaks for itself. He has created a visually stunning, world-class website for our business which not only captures our ‘look and feel’ brilliantly but also contains a wealth of information that can easily be accessed by the user. Lewis is a delight to work with - another essential requirement for us. Since launching the website in 2020, it has played a major role in driving new business and achieving sustained growth. It has also been helpful to have Lewis host and provide ad hoc support which he does with diligence and professionalism.
