Campaign Microsites.

A destination built for the campaign. Illustrated campaign microsites working board.

One campaign.
A focused web experience.

Campaign microsite development creates a purpose-built web destination for a specific offer, launch, or initiative. We connect the message, content, visual treatment, interaction, and next step in an experience that supports the campaign.

A microsite should solve a real organizational or customer need, not duplicate the main website without a reason. We review the relationship with existing pages, the URL and hosting approach, tracking needs, content ownership, and what happens when the campaign ends. The experience should remain useful and manageable after launch.

A focused site brief

Define the offer, audience, campaign relationship, and intended visitor action.

A clear information structure

Plan the pages or sections, navigation, content, and supporting evidence.

A campaign-aligned design

Translate the creative direction into a responsive web experience.

Interactive Media

Interactive media turns information into an experience people can explore, compare, or use. We plan and build focused web interactions that support a real customer task, with clear content, accessible controls, and a practical next step.

Interactive Calculators

Interactive calculator development turns approved business logic into a usable web tool. We design the inputs, validation, calculations, explanations, and next steps so visitors can understand a scenario without mistaking an estimate for a guaranteed result.

Campaign Microsites

One campaign. A focused web experience.

Let’s talk it through

A clear process.
A practical handover.

The production approach follows the message, source material, and agreed scope. Open each step to see what happens and what it produces.

01

Confirm the role of the site.

We decide why a dedicated experience is useful and how it relates to the main website.

The output

A focused microsite brief.

02

Plan the journey.

We structure the content, navigation, features, and next step.

The output

An information and interaction plan.

03

Design and implement.

We build the responsive experience around approved content and creative direction.

The output

A working microsite.

04

Launch with an owner.

We test key behavior and agree the operating and campaign-end requirements.

The output

A launch and lifecycle handoff.

The work in practice.

An illustrative launch microsite might introduce an offer, explain its details, answer practical questions, and provide an enquiry route. Its campaign-end plan should be decided early so useful content and inbound links are not simply abandoned.

The purpose of the example

To show how campaign microsites can support a decision. Your recommendations depend on the evidence, resources, and constraints in your own brief.

Agree the brief.
Then make the work.

Scope depends on page count, content, motion, interactions, forms, integrations, hosting, tracking, and support. The site address and relationship with the main domain are agreed before development; a separate domain is not assumed.

Before we startWhat we agree
The decisionThe audience, offer, question, and boundaries the work needs to address.
The deliverablesCreative and production scope, format, review rounds, responsibilities, and handover.
The investmentWritten fees, schedule, dependencies, and any separate third-party or implementation costs.

We confirm the proposal before work begins. You can commission a focused engagement, connect it to a wider plan, or ask about a separately scoped delivery phase.

Discuss scope and timing

Useful questions.
Straightforward answers.

How is a microsite different from a landing page?

A landing page is usually one focused destination. A microsite may have several sections, pages, or interactions around a particular campaign. The simplest useful structure is preferable.

Does a microsite need a separate domain?

No. The URL and hosting approach should suit the campaign, existing site, management needs, and long-term plan.

Can it match our campaign artwork?

Yes. We translate the approved creative direction into a responsive web design while keeping content and navigation usable.

Can you include forms or interactive features?

Yes, when the behavior, data handling, delivery connections, and testing requirements are included in the scope.

What happens when the campaign ends?

We agree whether the experience remains live, is updated, is archived, or redirects to a relevant destination.

Does the build include ongoing management?

Maintenance, content updates, monitoring, and campaign support are separate responsibilities unless explicitly included.

What determines the cost and schedule?

The agreed deliverables, source material, original production needs, complexity, review rounds, and delivery requirements determine the proposal. We confirm fees, responsibilities, and timing before starting.

What should we prepare for the first conversation?

Bring the offer, intended audience, where the work will be used, existing brand material, available source files, and any budget or timing constraints. We will identify what else is needed for the brief.
