Born one day from a realisation that my parents aren’t capable of holding onto that one link to Rotten Tomatoes’ Top 100 movies, The Rate Crate is a website committed to giving you the best of whatever you’re in the mood for.
Targeted squarely at anyone who has ever got overwhelmed by choice, The Rate Crate is a curated, filterable view of Rotten Tomatoes' annual highest-rated films. Seasonal special features and a “I don’t wanna think about it” modal work to take the sting out of choosing what to watch.
The visual inspiration was a blend of vintage 60s and 70s design, clean poster forward title navigation with a language ideated in Midjourney and NanoBanana Pro, then brought into Photoshop to build a full design system and landing mocks, then coded in Manus.
Art is deeply subjective and the Tomato meter never a guarantee, but I’d like to hope it’s just nice not to have to think about it. Really, at the heart of it lies a love of making sure my parents are never without. All the best, to you and yours.
