The media distribution partner for PBS.
Jointly owned by PBS and GBH, PBS Distribution has grown from a company focused on physical goods to a global distribution company committed to educating, engaging and inspiring viewers, one program at a time. They distribute award-winning documentaries that explore a diverse range of topics and take an in-depth look at the people, traditions, and events that mold our world. Audiences have access to content through multiple platforms and formats, including digital subscription channels, digital download and streaming services, DVD and Blu-ray releases, theatrical runs and international broadcasts.
Dynamic Presentation of Content
Being a media company, the visual impact of this site was extra important. We used CSS and Javascript to add motion throughout the site.
Multiple Audiences Require Careful Communication
The home page offers a high-level overview of the different services PBS Distribution offers. Each has their own page and can offer as much info as needed along with customized calls-to-action.
During the project’s initial start, we created wireframe templates for the site’s main pages to help the client and us better understand how we tend to approach the content hierarchy and tell the story for each page. We deliberately build colorless wireframes to keep the collaborative efforts on content only and proceed with the design templates once approved.
