Lyric Opera of Kansas City
Lyric Opera of Kansas City came out of a rebrand needing a website that could keep up with it. The new site matches the brand’s look page for page, and a streamlined search and straightforward navigation get patrons to upcoming productions and educational programs in a few clicks, on a desktop, a tablet, or a phone.
Each production page does the homework for the audience. Visuals, synopses, and artist profiles lay out the story and the singers before anyone buys a ticket, which matters for an art form where plenty of patrons want to know what they’re walking into. A content library of articles, interviews, and behind-the-scenes pieces, along with the company’s own history, gives people something to read between performances and a reason to return to the site when nothing is on sale.
The site also follows accessibility standards, so patrons who rely on screen readers or keyboard navigation can use it the same way everyone else does.

Don’t Sacrifice Speed for Beauty
Great design is crucial, but it’s not the whole story. Many arts organizations choose agencies solely on design strength, neglecting the critical role of development. This often results in stunning websites that crawl on mobile or load painfully slow.
