REMEMBER: never perform updates directly, we do all of that for you :)
INSPIRATION
Welcome our newest user: City Lights Theater Company!
CLTC's site features a bold dark theme that provides a user experience that's easier on visitor's eyes and helps add even more punch to their powerful images.
One of my favorite features is the video library we helped design for CLTC's The Next Stage video broadcasts. Visitors can find and play episodes right from the archive page or visit the single show page for a larger player and more info.
Their single event pages are filled with info patrons need alongside gorgeous production photos.
CLTC embraced the idea of moving the majority of their static page content from the primary navigation to the footer. We find users see anywhere from a slight to medium size bump in metrics thanks to visitors interested in deeper info having an easier time finding content while overall revenue conversion increases thanks to the primary nav bar focusing on event, ticket sales, and donations.
We had a fabulous time working with Anne Younan, Rebecca Wallace, and Carol Alban at CLTC. They show just how much you can do when approaching a web design project with a "Yes, and..." attitude.
Oh, and did we mention their new Venture powered site loads a jaw dropping 149% faster? 🙌
One benefit of dark themes is helping images project an even stronger impact.
The dark theme really shines on calendar and event listing pages.
We know that each and every one of our users will be different and unique. That’s why we created UpStage to be flexible to your needs.
We’ve highlighted some examples illustrating how UpStage can benefit such a diverse collection of Arts & Culture organizations.
Theatres
UpStage is uniquely qualified to handle high-occurrence events where pricing/availability fluctuates from one performance to the next.
Performing Arts Centers
UpStage can help you balance self-produced and promoted events, manage rental events, and grow your database.
Orchestras
Break free of old limitations that have limited growth and meaningful engagement with patrons. Let UpStage help you surpass expectations.
Operas
More than ever, the opera sector needs a Ticketing CRM that doesn’t lock them into doing things the way they have been for the past 20 years. UpStage is uniquely suited to support a fresh perspective.
Museums & Gardens
Contemporary museum and garden organizations have broader needs than ever before. Don’t let an antiquated CRM prevent you from maximizing potential in a post-pandemic era.
Festival
UpStage’s pricing model benefits groups like festivals where ticket revenue is concentrated during a limited number of months.
Choruses
As one of the fastest growing sectors in the arts and culture industry, UpStage is uniquely suited to help you deliver a superior patron experience than groups 10x your budget.
Multi-Constituent
With some of the greatest variety of events to manage, Multi-Constituent orgs need a Ticketing CRM that can handle everything without forcing you to use jerry-rigged solutions.
Clubs
Old school Ticketing CRMs aren’t designed to handle a sector as nimble as the club scene. You need a provider that can turn on a dime to facilitate the range of ideas you roll out throughout the year.
Experiences
One the newest and fastest growing sectors, experiences are at the cutting edge of patron engagement. You need a provider with a platform designed for tomorrow and not stuck in the past.
We Build Websites For Arts Organizations And Artists
The Venture Platform offers the best managed website development solution available. We’ll create designs that not only look great on any device but also provide the stability, support, and ease of use you deserve. But enough about us, let's talk about you!
