Our work / Case study
York Musical Theatre Company
A show-stopping redesign for one of York's longest-running theatre companies – putting the next production in the spotlight and making it easy to audition, volunteer or join.
A star company without a starring website
York Musical Theatre Company has been putting on musicals since 1902. Their website needed to match the energy of the shows – and help fill both the stage and the seats.
The next show needed the spotlight
A big musical every year – and the website needed to shout about it, from auditions to opening night.
Auditions had to be easy to find
New performers needed dates, audition pieces and what to expect, without digging through old pages.
More than just performers
Crew, volunteers, committee members and supporters all needed a clear way to get involved.
120 years of history deserved a home
Decades of shows, from Jesus Christ Superstar to Sister Act, needed showcasing – not burying.
The old York Musical Theatre Company homepage
Curtain up on a brand-new website
We redesigned the site around what matters most: the next big show, and the people who make it happen. Bold show artwork, clear routes to audition or get involved, and a proper celebration of the company's history.
What's On, front and centre
The next production leads the homepage, with dates, venue and show artwork you can't miss.
Auditions made simple
A dedicated auditions page with dates, details and everything newcomers need to take the plunge.
Get Involved
Clear routes for performers, backstage crew, volunteers and members to join the company.
Past Shows archive
Recent productions shown off with their artwork and dates, celebrating the company's long history.
Latest news
Easy-to-update news posts for AGMs, auditions and events like the York Proms.
Partners & sponsors
A proper home for partners and supporters, with NODA affiliation shown with pride.
