Ticketing-integrated website for a regional theatre

A website integrated with Spektrix, enabling ticketing, content management, and a seamless experience for audiences and internal teams.

Context

A public-facing website supporting the day-to-day operation of a busy regional theatre.

Stephen Joseph Theatre operates as a busy regional theatre, managing productions, ticket sales, and audience engagement across a varied programme of performances and events.

The website plays a central role in how audiences discover shows, view production information, and move into booking journeys without unnecessary friction.

It also needed to integrate closely with Spektrix while remaining straightforward for the internal team to manage as shows, schedules, and supporting content changed over time.

The challenge

Ticketing, show discovery, and internal content management all needed to work together in one reliable website experience.

Integrating Spektrix ticketing into the website without breaking the overall audience experience.

Presenting productions, events, and supporting content clearly across a busy and changing programme.

Supporting audience booking journeys from discovery through to purchase with minimal friction.

Providing enough flexibility for internal teams to manage and update content easily.

Ensuring the platform remained reliable during high-interest and peak booking periods.

Balancing usability, clarity, and performance in a public-facing environment.

What we built

A theatre website built around show discovery, integrated ticketing, and practical internal control.

Spektrix-integrated website

A website was built with Spektrix integrated into the audience journey so booking could happen within a consistent branded experience.

Structured production content

Productions and events are presented through a structured content model that makes information clearer and easier to browse.

Audience booking flow

The path from discovering a show to selecting a performance and moving into booking was shaped around audience expectations.

Content management system

A CMS gives the internal team direct control over key content, updates, and programme information.

Clear production presentation

Shows, schedules, and supporting information are presented in a way that is easier for audiences to navigate and understand.

Flexible page structure

Reliable public platform

The platform is designed to support high-traffic booking periods and the theatre's ongoing day-to-day operation.

“We have already received a range of really positive responses, particularly about how clean and clear the website looks, how effectively it works on IPads and phones, and the narratives about SJT built into it. Internally, the response to the new CMS has been rather life changing and we look forward to getting more people trained on how to use this.”
