WAC Attack
We’re delighted to launch the new website for Warwick Arts Centre today. Made are known for building big complex websites for bustling arts venues, but Warwick Arts Centre presented us with real challenge. One of the busiest arts venues outside London Warwick Arts Centre puts on a varied art programme from one-night-only comedy gigs, through film to long-running arts exhibitions. Building interfaces and content management techniques to handle that breadth and variety of event content took hard work and plenty of thinking. The events module in our CMS Backstage needed a total rewrite and is all the better for it.
We’re looking forward to seeing how the blogs develop, but with Jon Bounds acting as social media consultant how can they possibly fail?
We’ll be integrating the new ticketing system later this week, and then we’re busy linking the foyer screens into the CMS to keep visitors up to date. We’ll let you know when it’s done.
Good stuff. Do you have an iCal feed buried in there, mirroring what is in the RSS feeds by any chance?
I do like it, very crisp and lovely choice of colour.
Thanks Iain. Yes we do. You’ll now find iCal and Google Calendar subscription links under the calendar widget on the home page.
