Welsh National Opera

Welsh National Opera
Brief: 
WNO is a multi award-winning opera company of 250 people. From their first performance in 1946, they now perform globally to over 140,000 people a year, with a £100m home in Cardiff’s Wales Millennium Centre. Our relationship together is an established partnership, so we were ideally placed to deliver a redesign and rebuild when they decided it was time for a fresh look. Whilst their previous site was an engaging marketing platform, ever changing tastes and technologies meant it was time to raise the bar again. With the web a key part of their strategy, the new site would continue to generate ticket sales, provide performance guides, and reinforce the brand. However, WNO also wanted to create an online community that builds loyalty and engages users.

We therefore created a solution that provides a truly personalised experience for the user. The Homepage features content blocks that can be dragged and dropped around the page; even allowing a user to tailor the number of items that appear within them.

‘MyWNO’ encourages the user to sign up for alerts tailored to their tastes and provides exclusive access to performance resources. Push technologies include RSS feeds, e-newsletters, and a widget displaying the news and performances on a user’s desktop - even when they’re not online.

Rich media tools consist of embedded Flash players for audio and video resources, and a WNO Soundtrack player that provides the perfect musical backdrop when using the site.

The result: 

www.wno.org.uk provides users with a compelling and engaging experience like never before.
