Work

Brief

Audiences Wales wanted to create a website that would provide a comprehensive guide to the arts, culture and events in Wales. The website required a content management system to allow the editing team to update the site on a daily basis and also allow administrators from venues all over Wales to be able to edit their own details.

The site also needed to have a search facility which would allow the user to access information by region, genre and date.

Solution

whatsonwales.co.uk is Wales’ first bilingual website with listings for arts events all across the nation. A fundamental aspect of What’s on Wales revolved around entering a complex data set into the Content Management System. It was designed to enable over 150 individual venues to enter their listings information. Listings data could be distributed via a webpage or via a RSS feed.

The site also contains an advanced newsletter system, which can take into account the user preferences to send them targeted data.
