In November 2023, James Hype’s HYPEFAM community decided to embark on a world’s first – a 12hr Back-to-Back live-streaming Christmas event featuring ONLY HYPEFAM Discord community members from all around the world – The 12 Streams of Christmas. To help facilitate this, they needed a community ‘hub’ in the shape of a website with some unique features.
The Brief
Not withstanding the HUGE brief for the 12 Stream of Christmas project (which you can also read about here), the HYPEFAM.global Community needed a central and easily accessible ‘hub’ away from their ever-growing Discord server. This would enable them to add functionality beyond the capabilities of Discord whilst also providing a public-facing location for new members to see what it’s all about and provide existing members with a secure, ‘behind-the-scenes’ area for exclusive content and functionality.
- A globally accessible and secure, mobile-friendly web resource.
- Ability to attract new members.
- A central repository for news, events, rules, moderator resources and exclusive content.
- A ‘behind-the-scenes’ area for Member-only content and features.
- A events calendar with the ability to ‘mark’ attendance.
- A live-streaming directory with links, calendar and ‘Now Streaming’ notification.
- Exclusive and restricted-access to James Hype edits.
- Relocation of an existing Acapella Library with enhanced features such as waveforms, preview player and download options.
- A location for submit applications for online competitions, DJ contests and more.
- A voting/polling system so Discord Members could participate in DJ contests and more.
- A central location to accept Discord Ban Appeals.
All-in-all, not your standard website project, with many exclusive features and functionality, all-of-which were possible with our bespoke website packages and modules including:
- WordPress Content Management System.
- Ammedia Events Module featuring calendar, attendees and FAQs.
- Ammedia Discord OAuth Integration.
- Ammedia Music/Media Storage Module with Web Player and Waveform Previews.
- Ammedia Member Directory Module (integrating the Events Module for calendar events and notifications).
- Ammedia Voting Module.
The Solution
For HYPEFAM.global we implemented a bespoke WordPress website enabling us to meet the brief, whilst giving them a simple to use Dashboard and Admin area so they can add, edit and manage their content at will.
In addition to a bespoke theme and minimal third-party plugins, we developed and implemented a Discord OAuth system to provide existing Discord members an exclusive 'access-controlled' area featuring exclusive downloads, an Acapella Library, Streamer Directory & Calendar and more. Our Events module is perfect for the collation of event attendees and providing exclusive pre and post meet-up information and a new Voting/Poll system enables the community to directly contribute to the forward-progression of the community.
With our on-going agreement with the HYPEFAM.global Community, we are continuing updating and developing the website to provide more and more user engagement as their community and activations continue to grow.
