ImageX and Grey Vancouver Team Up to Revamp Vancouver Magazine

ImageX Media had the pleasure of working with the team at Grey Vancouver on the re-design of the Vancouver Magazine website. Vancouver’s premier magazine covers the events, people and issues that make this city sizzle. The site contains a vast amount of constantly changing content – including over 500 restaurant reviews, coverage of local events, and original articles and features. Vancouver Magazine’s previous site had no CMS system, which meant all new content had to be created in Dreamweaver and then uploaded to the site. They needed a site that could seamlessly handle a variety of complex content in a user-friendly way, including a lot of searching, lists and mapping functions, as well as the ability to share information widely through various social media applications.

ImageX assisted Grey with the initial CMS setup and module selection and was responsible for most of the custom development, including the image gallery and reviews system. We also created the restaurant system, including the search function, menu database, location function and the listing and display system.

Since the new site launched, the length of time users stay on the site has gone up by 300%. That means Vancouverites looking for good food, shops and the latest events and ideas are finding what they’re looking for at www.vanmag.com.
