Feint & Margin

Feint & Margin aims to be the Citizen voice of Africa. Recently competing in the South African Blog Awards competition (after only having been online for 3 months), it reached the finalist stage against formidable competition with likes of the world-renowned Zapiro and the Mail & Guardian.

Working alongside the Feint & Margin management team, Tiny Giant Studios was asked to build a website whereby the current authors are able to submit their articles for review quickly and easily. In addition, the website needed to be visually appealing and in line with the corporate branding. Not wanting to reinvent the wheel, we decided that an existing web solution by a company WooThemes, could be engineered to fit the F&M requirements. In order for the authors to adequately make use of the system, Tiny Giant Studios was also contracted to provide video-based training and write how-to manuals – especially on topics such as video embedding and image use.
