An interactive approach to media and content
To display the shows in its true art form, rich video was introduced to each show template providing a full screen “immersive” experience as well as snippets from the show giving people a sneak peak at to what to expect when going to the theatre’s. Each show template was setup using a vertical system allowing for smooth interactive transitions in-between the scenes and pages that present information, videos and news articles within a fresh and modern interface.
Simplified mobile experience
Concern with the amount of video content featured on the desktop version of the website, a cut down version was made for mobile viewers only focusing more on content and images giving users a more informational approach to the content. All interactive modules were converted down to fit a mobile ratio including slideshows and carousels and the result was a streamlined mobile friendly experience.
