London Greek Radio

We have designed and developed the website for London Greek Radio 103.3 (LGR), creating its modern, fun, vibrant and bold veneer. The circular speaker and undulating frequency shapes, are inspired by the LGR logo and represent sound waves. Monochrome, quirky images are used to showcase the DJ’s personalities. We used Open Sans, as a font was required that would be bilingual between English and Greek and look striking in both languages. The Top 10 Hits music list needed to be the most prominent feature on the homepage along with community events. The secondary yet important attributes include latest news, interactive soundbites, current videos and recent Greek music information for users. The Facebook and Twitter social updates are also valuable, bringing the LGR listeners together and forming a strong online community.

The technical elements include audio players and charts, courtesy of HTML5. The directory listing for companies is live, acting like the digital yellow pages for local Greek businesses. The DJ module enables the DJs to update their page or twitter feeds. Additionally, there is also a DJ schedule created in an easy to view format, that provides users with an online timetable of radio sessions. The video module connects to Youtube for instant access to official musical footage. Various sized packages are available on the advertising module, that are managed by LGR staff. Further modules include multiple blogs, news and events.

The beauty of this fully content managed website is that the admin users have different level permission. LGR have many staff members who access the site and each one has their area of clearance.
