Hey Fernando.

We overhauled our website in 2014/2015, moving to a Responsive design.

We have an RFP out now for the next round of tweaking.

We feel we need to further optimize how the site looks/functions for mobile visitors (and our growing # of mobile buyers).

We are also opening a new venue in the next 18 months.

So there's an overall brand + messaging evaluation underway in regard to multiple venues, one central ticketing pipeline, and distinct Member/Donor benefits (possibly, per venue).

Once decisions are made - all of that new information needs to available through the website(s).

Peer sites that inspire us: Lincoln Center, BAM, Carnegie Hall

Good luck!

Christine

This is Liza at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C. Good luck with your redesign!

Year of last redesign: Dec. 2016
After how many years did the organization finally do one: 8 years; we are now putting web enhancement money in our annual budget every year; we timed the redesign to coincide with our move to Tessitura
