The French Voice is a portfolio/showcase site for voice over, Pierre Maubouché, to demonstrate his work to existing and potential clients
Envious Digital was commissioned to redesign the site’s overall look and feel, and redevelop it due to degradation in the previous site’s core software and plugins. Pierre also had hundreds of sound files and YouTube videos across multiple categories, that was causing him a huge amount of administration time to keep updated and implemented in the correct place
Once we revamped the styling, UI and UX of the website, we also allocated all of his videos, blog posts, and sound files into the correct categories. Creating dynamic pages for these to automatically output to. This means that when Pierre has a new portfolio piece to promote, he simply adds it to the relevant category and “Voilà!” it appears where it should
Once the site was completed, it was only natural to then need search engine optimisation applied to all pages
Envious reviewed his previous site and replaced the URL’s and slugs to match what Google had already registered, reducing the need to implement redirects
Images are named appropriately and each page has the ability to apply meta data and keywords to further strengthen thefrenchvoice.com’s appearance in search results
The overall project has resulted in not only portraying Pierre’s reputation for creativity and precise attitude to his work but also saving him much time in administrating his website
“I’ve asked Envious to design two websites for me, one for the international market, one for the French market, with two different domain names addressing each market. It’s a very specific, high end market (audio post-production and voice overs) and not an easy one to appeal to – it is used to very fancy, expensive websites. These two websites had to be identical but at the same time work with different cultural references. They also had to include a lot of information, instantly playable vidéos, sound samples, and my brief was very, very demanding, as my market demands it, and I am a perfectionist veering on OCD. They gave me a quote that was more than reasonable considering the scope of work.
Despite me being a pain in the… well, being very demanding, the communication during the build was faultless, helpful and prompt. Not only they came up with the goods and Oh My, what good, but they delivered way beyond my expectation. I usually don’t write reviews. The fact I took the time to write this one should convince you, if you still had any doubts, to choose them for your online needs.”
