Crime Timeline for Investigation Discovery on iOS

WebDevStudios developed a custom crime timeline feature for Investigation Discovery's Crimefeed blog, enabling users to explore historical crime events through an interactive timeline. Using custom post types and taxonomies, the platform allowed users to navigate through decades of criminal history, with the ability to click on specific years, dates, or even minutes to view detailed events. The 'Go To Crimeline' button provided an easy-to-use interface for users to dive into specific crimes. The solution was built using WordPress and custom development, ensuring a seamless experience across iOS devices. The feature enhanced user engagement by offering a unique way to interact with crime-related content. After launching the initial site, Investigation Discovery returned for a refresh, adding polls and quotes to further enrich the user experience. The result was a more interactive and informative platform that met the client's needs for fresh content and improved user interaction.
