What we've done

Client: Channel 5

Overview: FiveFWD is Channel 5's portal aimed at 18-35 year old males. It was originally launched with almost exclusively Gadget Show content, but Unboxed Consulting were asked to integrate the Fifth Gear website and add additional site features.

The Job: The integration of the Fifth Gear site into the FiveFWD portal included the integration of content, embedding a syndicated video player and implementing a user reviews and rating system. As a result both the navigability and design needed updating. Unboxed also needed to sort out browser compatibility issues.

The Results: Unboxed delivered all functionality with comprehensive automated acceptance, unit tests and UAT after each 2 week iteration. The browser compatibility issues were resolved and Unboxed were then asked to take responsibility for second line 24x7 support. Follow–on work by Unboxed Consulting involve integrating the price comparison tool from Kelkoo for gadgets and motoring.co.uk for cars, and news and reviews from Verdict on Cars.
