The Challenge

The prestigious award-winning Sri Lankan writer, Mr N. Selvarajah, uses the power of words to give life to the unknown. He has written over 43 books and compiled several volumes of Noolthettam—a bibliography of Tamil publications by Sri Lankan Tamils. His works were in high demand both within and outside of the country. He needed a platform for the knowledge of inquisitive individuals worldwide to get hold of the wisdom treasured in his works.

Solution

Our team at Chanmax came forth to develop the electronic digital library, Noolthettam. The technological evolution and people’s knowledge of the availability and increased access to digital text reinforced the success of this digital transition. The website was designed to provide an extraordinary user experience and convenient access to e-books. The site has several collections of the author’s work meant to help keep Tamil books alive.

A Brand Is Taking Its Stand

The digital Noolthettam was designed to give a consistent antique impression as a throwback to the age-old text compilations. The site was branded with medieval-looking font styles and an immemorial colour palette.

Digital Yet Traditional

Despite the transition from traditional paper books to digital electronic text, we wanted readers to feel the heart-stirring moments still as they went through the compilation of ancient old publications, such that even the cover pages of each book are in their original.

Quality Complementing Quantity

Noolthettam is an e-library with a wide array of e-books showcased on its site. Despite the scalability of the content, the site is designed to maintain its uncompromising quality with responsive design and smooth user flow.
