The problem
Mutuals+ needed one place to publish its stories, playlists and events and to sell its merchandise, run by its own team.
01
Designed
- A bold, magazine-style layout where photography leads and the type stays out of the way.
- SELECT+ features that give each spotlighted creative a page of their own.
- A shop that feels like part of the magazine, from the product page to the cart.
02
Engineered
- A content API and admin dashboard for articles, playlists, DJs, events, products and submissions.
- Card checkout through Stripe, with discount codes and order records.
- Playlists from Spotify, SoundCloud and YouTube alongside the editorial.
- Open submissions for creatives who want to be featured, and a newsletter sign-up.
The outcome
The team publishes, programmes and sells from one dashboard, and readers can move from a story to a playlist to the shop without leaving the site.
