Overview
The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center (WHBPAC), a cornerstone of the East End’s cultural scene, needed a modern website that could handle the demands of a professional venue while remaining easy for staff to update. Their previous site made it difficult to manage sponsors, promote advertisers, or provide a streamlined ticketing experience. They also needed to better serve their diverse audience by improving accessibility and providing bilingual support.
Solution
We developed a custom WordPress website tailored to WHBPAC’s unique needs. This included:
Custom post types to simplify sponsor management and maintain a searchable online directory of Playbill advertisers.
Full integration with Tessitura’s API, enabling seamless online ticket sales without disrupting the user experience.
ADA compliance and multilingual support, including online translation in both English and Spanish, to ensure all visitors could access information with ease.
The design emphasized performance, elegance, and mobile responsiveness—matching the quality of the venue’s programming.
Results
The new website has improved internal efficiency while elevating the user experience. Staff can now easily manage key content, advertisers gain greater visibility, and patrons benefit from a smoother ticketing process and more accessible features. WHBPAC now has a site that’s as dynamic and inclusive as the performances it hosts.
