Challenge:

The List’s mission is to be a one-stop destination for “what’s on” in arts, culture and entertainment across the United Kingdom, from theatre and festivals to food, film and nightlife. The core challenge was to create a website that could handle high-volume, constantly changing data (events, listings, reviews, offers) while remaining easy to navigate for users who might be looking for very different things — from concerts this weekend to restaurant suggestions, cultural news and competitions.
