The Glens Centre
The Glens Arts Centre is a dynamic and imaginative community and cultural hub in Manorhamilton, programming theatre, music, comedy, dance, and film. Working with a strong arts and creative community locally, they support the community to continue a long tradition of culture and creativity.
The Brief
Dmac was asked to redesign and improve the client's old website. It had become difficult to use and view on responsive devices and was in need of updating. The new site would demonstrate refreshed branding, an improved flow, host a number of relevant articles and photographs and present the theatre’s information in a clear and intuitive way. We would also create a number of call to action allowing the users to purchase the tickets or donate to the theatre using a 3rd party platform.
What We Did
Initially Dmac Media focused on reviewing the sitemap and designing a more organised website with unique and new content and with an improvement in the overall flow and navigation. The next step involved a revamp of their logo,creating something more modern and eye-catching. The new design was kept single, while the bright colours complimented the new logo and client’s photographs. A Dmac CMS v4 platform allowed us to build an easy to maintain website that features a number of landing pages. Articles have been transferred from the old website and a built-in search makes them easy to browse. A custom header becomes transparent on the homepage to highlight the hero images. Built-in newsletter allows the Glens Art Centre to keep their audience engaged with the newest shows. The result is a bright, modern and interactive website that’s much easier to use.
