When we launched our flagship site Boxwish Movies and TV a couple of years ago we had no idea it would inspire us to build a range of other similar sites. In the first few months of the site going live it became immediately obvious that the most popular movie we ever talked about was Twilight, and more importantly that fans of the Twilight Saga were looking for an outlet. Step in Twilightopia.

We first launched the site at the end of last summer and it was basically a rebranded version of Boxwish Movies and TV. It immediately hit a chord with fans, generated a few hundred thousand hits in its first six months and had people going crazy about the quiz. But we knew it needed spicing up and in particular needed a more immersive and simple way for users to post their own content. So we set about building version two of the site, which has now become the first in our series of ‘Crowd Blogs’ (more on that in a later post).

Earlier this month we were contacted by a specialist driving instructor looking to branch out on his own and take his first steps onto the web. He was looking for a clean, clear and user friendly new site, which didn’t cost a fortune but got his new business online.

Having put a few sites together for similar small businesses we knew exactly what kind of thing he was after and in just a few days had his new site up and running. We’re really proud to say the client loved what we did. Some feedback he gave us:

Ahh, shucks. Check out what we did here.

Hey there, thanks for popping by and welcome to the new Boxwish Design site.

We launched Boxwish Ltd. way back in 2007 (which seems quite a while back now) as an internet start-up focused on our flagship site Boxwish.com. We’ve had a great time over the last couple of years watching the site gain popularity (it’s had over 2.5m visits) and along the way we’ve also launched a few other cool spin-off sites, like Twilightopia.com and Movie-Cupid.com.

About six months ago we decided it was time to share our passion for building amazing web experiences in a slightly different way, by taking on client work, and today marks the start of that exciting new venture. So, if you’re looking for a new website, web app, iPhone app, branding, email campaign or any of the other things we do, make sure to get in touch.
