“The main goals for this new website were to create an online space that is both beautiful, and highly functional – an intuitive and responsive experience for our patrons from beginning to end. In addition to the marketing website, we have spent a great deal of time upgrading our online ticketing site, making sure that the online ticket buying/donation experience is mobile responsive, and easy-to-use. I am very happy with the progress that we’ve made on this project, and I believe our patrons will be as well.” – Tiffany M.
