The Austin Chamber Music Center had been thinking about getting a new website for many years, but it always felt like a daunting task that we didn’t have enough time or money to tackle. When we started the project with Venture, we were immediately put at ease. Drew always made us feel like we were his number one priority, and was always happy to chat if we had any questions or ideas. Not only did we benefit from his website expertise and understanding of arts management, but he was patient and fun to work with. Our new website is BEAUTIFUL and is much easier to navigate and edit. We are now proud to direct people to the site to learn more about our mission; it is finally an asset and not a hindrance. Drew and the Venture team have gone beyond creating a new website—they have transformed ACMC!
The Austin Chamber Music Center (ACMC) creates chamber music experiences that connect, educate, and inspire our community. When the organization went looking for a new web provider, they had several key goals focused on improving user experience, making it easy to find and purchase event tickets, streamline their program and educational offering pages, and highlight their many talented faculty and artists.
The entire ACMC staff was involved in the process and the end result is a new site that reaches those goals and successfully enhances their branding thanks to a wealth of unique imagery.
In the end, their new venture designed and powered site helps save dozens of staff hours each month thanks to improved content management features and workflows.
