A Responsive Joomla Website For "The Habit" TV Show, a Sub-7 Production

Company Overview

"The Habit" is a TV show about a few friends John, Chuck and JP and their life-long habit of hunting and bow-fishing. These three friends travel all over the United States searching for their next big kill and enduring all kinds of adventures along the way. The show made its debut premier in January and is being aired on the Sportsman's Channel three nights a week.

The Challenge

Their goal was to use a large amount of imagery in the design but still keep it clean and simple. They wanted their audience to be engaged in the site and be able to find out more information on the show, upcoming episode airings, episode teasers, special events, and information about the main characters. Sub-7 also wanted to provide viewers with the ability to securely purchase "The Habit" merchandise through the website. They needed the ability to login and make updates to the episode teasers, add blog posts, add additional content, and to update their merchandise on a regular basis.

The Process

Our first step was to sketch out our ideas for the website and how the overall site would function. Once we laid out our ideas, we turned to Photoshop to create their custom design. The Photoshop design was displayed to the client on how the site would be laid out and how it would function. After we received approval from Sub-7 on the design we rendered the PSD file and integrated it all together using HTML, CSS and PHP. Next we converted the new design into a custom Joomla template. Once everything was integrated with Joomla, we built out custom Joomla components for the menu and episodes wall. Our final step prior to site launch was to implement all of the content.
