Development of a modern, responsive website for the German feature film '4 Könige' - a showcase of web performance and design in the film industry.
Project Overview
As a web designer, I was commissioned by Mhoch4, part of the Markenfilm Group, to develop a modern and responsive website for the German feature film "4 Könige" ("4 Kings"). This project required a careful balance between visual aesthetics and technical performance.
Technical Implementation
To minimize effort while achieving an impressive result, we utilized the popular Bootstrap framework at the time. This pragmatic decision proved beneficial:
- Rapid development facilitated by trusted Bootstrap components
- Built-in responsive design for various screen sizes
- Familiar controls for intuitive navigation
- Stable framework with broad browser support
Sometimes, less is more—the focus on established technology allowed us to concentrate on what matters most: creating an attractive and functional presentation.

Special emphasis was placed on a Mobile-First strategy to accommodate the increasing use of smartphones and tablets.

The website is tailored to various target audiences:
- Film enthusiasts and potential viewers
- Media representatives and press members
- Film distributors and cinema operators
Specific content areas and functions were implemented for each group, facilitating quick access to relevant information.
