Description

The TWP Theater Festival relies heavily on their web site to communicate information about the festival, sell tickets and passes, attract sponsors & volunteers and help visitors plan their trip to the festival.

Visitors can learn about each of the shows planned for the upcoming festival including the background about a show, director, curator, production company, players in the show as well as show times and venues.  This information comes in gradually over time, but has the festival approaches, timely updates are crucial.  They must have a responsive up-to-date web site.

Data about the shows, sponsors and venues is used in numerous places around the site in a variety of contexts. Information about the shows automatically populates the show listings, summary pages, schedules, maps and venue pages.  The team enters the data just once, the rest is automatic.

Side bar information is also very dynamic.  In some cases, content must appear on almost all pages on the site, in other cases, the side bar data is unique to a single page or just few pages.  Updating this data across the site, which as more than 100 pages, could be very time intensive and error prone.  The now have the ability to populate side bar information across multiple pages at once and yet can adjust individual pages when needed.  Each element of the side bar is entered just once and then is simply assigned to the appropriate pages.

The calendar is completely automatic.  New shows are automatically added to the calendar when showtimes and dates are added to the show pages.  It also provides links to purchase tickets for each show directly from the calendar.

Google maps are also automatically updated with pins and rollovers for each location. Each map filters the lcoations and present just hotels on one map, just venues on another, as appropriate.

Volunteers are also very important to the sucess of the festival.  A volunteer form makes it easy for people to join the festival team.
