Opera Festival Of Chicago
The Opera Festival of Chicago is dedicated to presenting fully staged productions of Italian opera masterworks that rarely grace the stage in the United States, making this work accessible to American audiences and artists alike. Thanks to working from a starting point of recently updated site content and vector format graphic assets, the planning and site architecture came together quickly.
When it was all said and done, we from “let’s do this” to primary website launch in five weeks! The end result turned out fabulous and we provided them with the fundamental features they needed such as vastly improved single event show pages with calendars that make it easy for patrons to find shows and buy tickets, a variety or specialty form, and layouts that show off all of their fabulous photography and graphic design elements.

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. OFC’s site loads in a lightning fast 0.8 seconds!
