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:
- Users dropped out due to confusion in their flows.
- The backend did not flex for any updates or partner integrations..
- The mobile experience was clunky, turning away most of their audience.
- There was no real-time engagement tracking.
- Campaigns saw deteriorating performance during peak times when they should have been performing best (especially in January).
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?
3
How do you track pledge behaviours without friction?
4
What emotional trigger influenced the user into taking action?
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
T
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:
- Rapid content updates
- Smooth third-party integrations
- Robust pledge-tracking across campaigns
Roadblocks We Passed Through
No journey is perfect, and we encountered some obstacles along the way.
- We need to build a system that can scale up quickly with media exposure.
- Engagement flows would be designed in a way to not compromise on the sensitive emotional tone of the videos.
- We will implement tools to ensure engagement and data safety, track engagement while respecting privacy, and provide real-time insights.
- We set up the backend to facilitate frequent updates for non-techie admins.
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
