DUFFERIN GATE STUDIOS
Behind The Scenes of a Digital Transformation
Creating a seamless user journey that puts every studio detail in the spotlight
Challenge
Dufferin Gate Studios, a cornerstone of the film and television production sector, had built a legacy of supporting world-class productions across film, television, and commercial work. However, their digital presence did not reflect the same calibre of professionalism and accessibility offered on site. The existing website presented challenges in navigation, making it difficult for industry professionals to quickly locate key details such as studio specifications, amenities, and booking information. This lack of clarity and intuitive design limited the studio’s ability to showcase its full range of facilities and created barriers for potential partners exploring their options. BTI was engaged to redesign the website with a simplified, modernised user interface that would elevate the online experience and provide a seamless gateway to the information users required.

An automated carousel photo gallery allowed for intuitive visual exploration of the spaces. In addition, downloadable floor maps were integrated, offering a convenient way for users to access detailed layouts for planning and production purposes.
