Haven worked the wonderful teams at Magic: the Gathering to overhaul the website's design, incorporating a more modern and user-friendly interface. The new design not only enhanced the overall user experience, but also aligns with the latest trends in website design. Moreover, our team successfully migrated Magic: the Gathering from Drupal onto a new content management system, which has significantly improved the website's functionality, and ability to launch new product releases.

Unleashing the Magic: A Powerful Partnership

Haven has worked closely with the marketing team at Magic: The Gathering over the past few years to completely overhaul their web presence. Building them a newly designed website from the ground up. Including a custom CMS that allows them the ability to create new pages, modify exiting ones, and publish content with the push of a button. All with no developer assistance required. Which was a drastic improvement over their previous system that required multiple teams to be involved with precise timing to push content live.

We also built in new features to help increase sales and analytic tracking. Such as A/B Testing, custom email newsletter signups, region detection for purchase options, and custom analytic integrations and reporting. Haven also developed custom interactive elements like quizzes, maps, page theme take overs, and Magic Card presentations to enhance users experience the site.

During the process we also assisted them in migrating over 15 years of content from their old Drupal CMS into the newly built one. Creating content templates for old content allowed the Magic team to reuse them for new content entry as well. We continue to work closely with the team at Magic: The Gathering and Wizards of the Coast as a whole to help enhance their websites and streamline their content processes.

Hidden Page Invasion

Phyrexia is a fictional plane of existence within the Magic the Gathering universe. It is a dark, dystopian world dominated by a race of beings called Phyrexians, who seek to corrupt and control all other life in the multiverse. To make users feel that dark and horrific corruption Haven Agency worked with the WOTC team to build a hidden page invasion through one single click without refresing the page.
