Challenge & Response
The Request
The author and publisher needed a dynamic online hub to support the Casa de Fieras book series — featuring interactive content, lore exploration, quizzes, media materials, updates, and community engagement. The site had to convey a sense of wonder, world-building, and narrative depth, appealing to both young readers and adult fans interested in the mythology of Animalia.
The Solution
We created a structured, multi-section website—reminiscent of a living digital companion for the series. Key sections include:
Interactive world map featuring portals, habitats, and character houses
Character profiles, enabling readers to engage with personalities and backstories
Quizzes and games, making Animalia’s universe playful and participatory
Lore section and short stories, curated by the author herself
Events and updates, with news on book launches and appearances
The visual direction

We Observe
We studied how readers — notably children and YA audiences — engage with fantasy worlds online, identifying the need for intuitive discovery and interactive storytelling. We analyzed existing fantasy websites and the strong lore of Casa de Fieras.
We Edit
We filtered content into clear categories and prioritized interactive navigation. Instead of a traditional menu, we implemented a map-based entry point to invite organic user exploration.
We Design
We crafted a modular layout featuring tabs, quiz modules, story pages, and character profiles, using playful iconography and color cues to guide users through portals and locations—from Madrid’s Casa de Fieras to Cusco and beyond.
We Refine
We optimized loading performance (especially for graphics and quizzes), ensured readability and accessibility, and refined mobile navigation to feel natural for readers of all ages. We synced site updates with new book launches and author news.
