The Brief

Turner Sims is the University of Southhampton’s music venue, where students, emerging artists and renowned musicians alike take to the stage.  Falling behind on audience needs, their previous website just wasn’t hitting the right notes anymore. Plus, with their shiny new branding from Zap Creative, they needed a new website that reflected them.

Challenges

Our team has strong expertise in Spektrix integrations and WordPress development, having worked on countless websites using this technology. However, this project with Turner Sims was our first time marrying the two to create a seamless ticketing journey. Our innovative approach got the job done, keeping users happy and tickets flying. 

Key Goals

  • Frictionless ticketing that drives sales
  • Boosting memberships and donations
  • SEO that will take them to the top of search

Turning up the volume of sales

With over a decade of experience working in the Arts and Culture industry and with venues like Turner Sims, we have mastered the art of a What’s On solution. With predictive search and intuitive filtering, finding the right event is a breeze. Not to mention our booking journey, which maximises revenue through donations, membership, and up sales. Check out our blog to get the inside scoop on how we perfected our What’s On solution and ticketing integrations. 

Results

Placing accessibility and sustainability at the heart of our work, we created a showstopping design that puts the joy of music in the spotlight. Our creative thinking has allowed them to connect with their audience in fresh ways, providing an inspirational online experience. This project is special, not just because it’s a stunning website, but because it is a celebration of Turner Sims’ musical legacy.
