What to look for

What a good theatre website needs

Audiences come to a theatre website with two questions: what’s on, and how do I buy a ticket. Everything else, from the history of the venue to official documents, should be easy to find, but it must never get in the way of those two things.

Sample website of Teatr Dramatyczny on a phone
  1. A ticket button on every page

    A fixed “Buy tickets” button in the header goes straight to your box office system, and every show links to its own dates. Webomat does not sell tickets: the website sends audiences to the online box office you already use.

  2. A page for every show

    Synopsis, creative team and cast, running time and interval, age guidance, production photos. Its own address means the show can be shared, linked from previews and found on Google by its title or the director’s name.

  3. Stages, address and visitor information

    Which stage the show is on, where the entrance is, when the cloakroom opens, whether latecomers are admitted, how to get there and where to park. These are the questions your box office currently answers by phone.

  4. A listings page that works on a phone

    Upcoming performances with date, time and stage, without scrolling a wide table sideways. If you keep the full calendar in your ticketing system, the website can list the season’s titles and link to that calendar for dates.

  5. Schools and groups

    Shows based on set texts, workshops, drama sessions, group booking terms and a contact for your learning team. Teachers look for exactly this, often by typing the title of a curriculum text into Google.

  6. Access for audiences

    Step-free entrance, wheelchair spaces, hearing loop, audio-described, captioned or sign-language-interpreted performances. If you offer them, describe them on a dedicated access page and flag them in the listings.

  7. Accessibility statement and WCAG

    Many publicly funded venues must meet WCAG 2.1 AA and publish an accessibility statement in a fixed place; in the EU this follows from the Web Accessibility Directive, and the European Accessibility Act extends similar duties to many online services. The agent builds the website with a logical heading structure, image descriptions, visible focus and AA contrast; the statement itself is prepared by your organisation.

  8. Official documents

    A link to wherever your organisation publishes its statutes, tenders and job openings, plus downloadable audience terms such as ticketing conditions. If you run a separate public-information portal, Webomat does not host it; the website links to it from a fixed place.

  9. Funding acknowledgements

    Projects funded by arts councils, local authorities or EU programmes usually require funder logos and an acknowledgement on the website. The agent carries them over from your current website; new ones you add in the chat, together with the logo files from the funder.

  10. The company and creative team

    Actors with a photo and their roles in the current repertoire, artistic direction, creative and technical team. Audiences search for actors by name, and names written as text, not on a poster image, help your theatre appear in those results.

  11. Structured data for the theatre and its events

    The theatre described in schema.org as a PerformingArtsTheater, and dated performances on the website as Events. That makes it easier for search engines and AI chats to answer the question of what’s on in your city this weekend.

Common problems

What usually goes wrong on old theatre websites

Theatre websites grow for years: every season adds pages, banners and archive material. A visitor who just wants a ticket for Friday gets lost along the way.

  • Old site

    Four clicks to the box office

    Listings, then the show, then the date, and only then the ticket link, hidden under the synopsis. On the new website the ticket button sits in the header of every page and next to every show.

  • Old site

    Listings as an image or a PDF

    The month’s programme as a poster graphic: you can’t click a title, Google can’t read it and a screen reader reads nothing. On the new website the listings and show descriptions are text, linked to each show’s page.

  • Old site

    The archive instead of the current season

    Productions from several seasons ago at the top, while this season’s premieres get lost in a long list. The agent separates what you are playing now from the archive, which can stay as its own page within your package’s page limit.

  • Old site

    Accessibility only on paper

    There is an accessibility statement, but the site itself has light grey text over photos, a menu you can’t use with a keyboard and images without descriptions. The new website is built with these requirements in mind from the first draft, not patched after an audit.

What you get

What the agent builds for a theatre

The agent builds the website from content your theatre already publishes. A typical set looks like this; anything missing, such as an access page or a schools programme, you add in the chat.

  1. /

    Homepage

    Upcoming shows and premieres, the ticket button, address and box office hours.

  2. /whats-on.html

    What’s on

    The season’s shows with dates, or with a link to the calendar in your ticketing system.

  3. /shows.html

    Shows

    Every title on its own page: synopsis, creative team, cast, running time, age guidance, photos.

  4. /company.html

    Company

    Actors, artistic direction and creative team, with photos and roles in the repertoire.

  5. /learning.html

    Learning

    Schools and groups programme, workshops, group booking terms and a contact for your learning team.

  6. /visit.html

    Plan your visit

    Tickets and concessions, terms, stages and directions, access information, the accessibility statement and links to official documents.

On every page

  • Tap-to-call phone number
  • Mobile-friendly
  • Titles and descriptions for Google
  • schema.org structured data
  • Sitemap
  • 301 redirects

The $29 package covers up to 10 pages; a theatre with a wide repertoire usually needs the package with 25 or 50 pages. Old show addresses are redirected (301) to the new ones.

How it works

From old website to new - step by step

No briefs, meetings or weeks of waiting. The agent works with your real content, and you decide at every step.

  1. Step 01

    Snapshot and mini audit

    Paste the address and within a minute we capture your current site on desktop and mobile, count the pages and check SSL, speed and the mobile version. Free.

    ~1 min

  2. Step 02

    The agent reads your website

    It collects your real content, photos, logo and brand colours, recognises your industry, services and contact details - and never makes anything up.

    2-3 min

  3. Step 03

    Proposals in different styles

    You get 1, 3 or 5 homepage versions, each in a different direction: classic, bold or light. Pick the one that suits your business best.

    15–25 min

  4. Step 04

    Coding the full website

    The agent builds the subpages in the chosen style, connects the navigation and redirects old addresses (301) so you keep your Google rankings.

    usually 15–20 min

  5. Step 05

    Quality control

    Automated tests on mobile and desktop: nothing overlaps, links work, the site is light and accessible. The agent fixes issues before you see anything.

    on every version

  6. Step 06

    Changes and publishing

    Request changes in a chat - each one is a new version you can roll back. Connect your own domain with SSL or download the site as an HTML package.

    a revision takes ~10 min

FAQ

Questions from theatres and arts venues

Will audiences buy tickets on the new website?

They buy tickets in the box office system you already use, and the website takes them there in one click: from the header and from every show. Webomat does not sell tickets or build an online box office.

Our listings change every month. Who will update them?

The website has no CMS. You paste next month’s listings into the revision chat or attach them as a file, and the agent puts them on the website. One round is one request with up to 15 changes at once; rounds never expire and you can buy more. If dates change more often, it is easier to keep the calendar in your ticketing system and link to it from the website.

Will the website meet accessibility requirements?

The agent follows WCAG: a single H1, a logical heading order, image descriptions, visible focus and AA contrast, and the website passes automated tests before delivery. Your organisation prepares the accessibility statement and we add it as a page. Webomat does not carry out formal accessibility audits; if you need one, it is worth commissioning after launch.

Our official documents are hosted by another provider. What happens to them?

They stay where they are. The new website links to them from a fixed place, usually the header or footer. Webomat does not host public-information portals.

Will links to our shows from the press and reviews stop working?

No. Every old address is redirected (301) to the matching new page, so links from articles, reviews and social media still lead to the show. Page titles and descriptions are carried over, and the new website gets a sitemap and structured data.

Can we show production photos and quotes from reviews?

Yes, if you have the rights to them. The agent uses photos from your current website and credits the photographer if the name is on the website or you give it in the chat. The only review quotes that appear are the ones you already publish or provide together with the source. The agent does not write reviews or audience comments.

We are an arts centre, not a theatre. Is this for us?

Yes. The same structure works for arts and community centres, concert halls and galleries: an events calendar, regular classes, a schools programme, room hire, access information and official documents. Class enquiries come in through the contact form, which goes to your panel and your e-mail; Webomat does not build booking systems with payments.

How much does a theatre website cost?

A one-off $29, $99 or $129 net; a bigger package means more homepage proposals, revision rounds and pages (up to 50). A year of hosting with an SSL certificate is included, after that it costs $29 a year. You see the first homepage version for free, and you can also download the finished website as an HTML package and publish it on your own server.
