Powering a Global Movement –
Esferasoft’s Journey with 3Movies.wtf

About the Client

3Movies.wtf is a global nonprofit platform that aims to transform people’s perspectives on animal rights, mutual health, and sustainability by presenting the truth in three short films. With emotionally stimulating, concise documentaries, 3–5 minutes long, accompanied by a 31-day vegan challenge, the platform counts more than 620,000 participants since 2014.

In partnership with food brands and retailers across the globe, the initiative promotes more than 1,500 vegan products per annum and intends to create real-world changes catalysed by digital awareness and advocacy.

The Starting Point

3Movies.wtf approached Esferasoft when the platform had gained some traction but could hardly keep up with its success. While their message was resonating all over the globe, any form of digital infrastructure was in a distant last place:

They needed a lot more than just a makeover; they needed a complete system transformation.

Our Journey Begins

We set out to deeply understand the mission of 3Movies.wtf, the audience’s behaviours, and their aspirations regarding campaign goals. We established quickly that this was more than a website. It was truly a movement. Every second of load time, broken link, and unclear CTA spelt serious real-world action implications for the cause of the movement.

In partnership with the client, we devised a multi-phased development roadmap:

The Discovery Road Map

Our first task was to examine the shortcomings in the existing workings while closely mapping the key contact areas.

1

Stakeholder feedback was gathered, user journey audits were conducted, and high-priority improvements were selected for maximum scalability of the campaign.

2

When were users dropping off the site?

4

What emotional trigger influenced the user into taking action?

3

How do you track pledge behaviours without friction?

5

Why was it slow to engage with users on mobile?

The Strategy Phase

Based on our findings, we outlined a clear roadmap with four core pillars for the future:

Performance &
Scalability

A system robust enough to handle massive traffic spikes during key global campaigns.

Modern, Accessible
UX

A seamless, mobile-first experience for all audiences — whether viewing a film, taking a pledge, or joining a local activist group.

Flexible Backend
Architecture

It should be easy to manage, partner-friendly, and growth-optimised.

Actionable
Engagement Tools

Real-time tracking of pledges, shares, and views — doing this enables the client to understand the impact and optimise outreach.

The Execution Phase

The focus of our team’s designing and developing with agility was in alignment with the fast-paced campaign calendar of the organisation.

Total UI/UX Redesign

We designed something that was free of clutter and emotionally engaging and that would put maximum user focus on the core content, the films. We redirected the CTAs and simplified the flows, totally redesigning the mobile interface with accessibility focus in mind.

Custom Web Development

We built a fast platform that is fully responsive and tested under many user loads, ensuring complete performance even during peak events such as Veganuary.

Scalable Backend (MySQL
Architecture)

The back end was constructed safely and scalably by our team in MySQL, allowing 3Movies.wtf to grow with confidence. The back end currently supports:

Roadblocks We Passed Through

No journey is perfect, and we encountered some obstacles along the way.

With accuracy, we overcame each of these challenges using iterative feedback, regular syncs with the client team, and holding close to the mission.

The Outcome

The focus of our team’s designing and developing with agility was in alignment with the fast-paced campaign calendar of the organisation.

More than 50% reduction in bounce rate

Mobile engagement increased by over 60%

Implemented
pledge tracking system in real-time

No performance dips during the global traffic surge for Veganuary

The team can now launch campaigns quickly and effectively

A Platform with Purpose, Now Powered by Performance

By blending technical brilliance and mission-driven design, Esferasoft has also changed the passionate venture that is 3Movies.wtf into what is now rapidly becoming a global digital movement. The partnership has achieved more than just a website; it has created a change engine that continues to inspire thousands of users to take their first step toward a more compassionate future.
