Tools and solutions for EU public sector institutions
A theatre website should help people understand the repertoire, choose a performance and plan their visit without confusion. Clear event information, accessible journeys and reliable ticketing support better audience service while meeting public sector requirements for accessibility, GDPR and multilingual communication.
When performances are listed without consistent details such as synopsis, duration, age guidance, language, accessibility features or dates, visitors struggle to decide what suits them. Staff then spend more time answering routine questions that the website should already cover.
If the path from performance page to ticket purchase is unclear, audiences may hesitate, abandon the process or contact the box office for help. This is especially problematic on mobile devices or when external ticketing systems are involved.
People need practical information before they arrive, including venue access, running time, late entry policy, seating, language, surtitles and available assistance. If this is scattered or missing, the visit can become stressful and complaints are more likely.
A theatre website must work for people using assistive technologies, older visitors, mobile users and audiences with different language needs. If accessibility and clarity are treated as optional, part of the public is excluded from cultural participation.
Each production is presented through a consistent content model covering synopsis, dates, duration, age suitability, language, cast or creative team, venue details and accessibility information. This makes the repertoire easier to browse, compare and understand.
We design clear routes from repertoire listings to booking, with well-signposted calls to action, practical explanations and fewer unnecessary steps. The result is a more dependable path to purchase and fewer avoidable support requests.
We organise all practical attendance information in one place, including arrival guidance, accessibility arrangements, transport, parking, venue rules and audience services. Visitors can prepare with confidence before the day of the performance.
We assess the website against recognised accessibility requirements and identify issues affecting navigation, readability, forms, media and ticket journeys. This supports compliance work and helps ensure cultural services are available to a wider public.
We provide structured maintenance, content updates and periodic reviews so the website remains accurate across changing seasons, productions and visitor information. This helps theatre teams keep the service reliable without rebuilding processes each time the programme changes.
Audiences need enough detail to decide whether a performance is suitable for them before they book. Information such as duration, language, age guidance and accessibility features reduces uncertainty and lowers the volume of routine enquiries.
The route to booking should be clear, consistent and easy to follow on desktop and mobile. Even when a separate ticketing platform is used, the website should explain the process clearly and prepare visitors for what happens next.
No. Repertoire models, audience groups, venue arrangements and ticketing processes vary from one institution to another. The structure should reflect how your theatre actually programmes work and how your visitors look for information.
The theatre must be the owner of the infrastructure for its website. This ensures control and responsibility over its content.
