New look for Abbey Box Office
Written 12.10.07 by: Sally Smith
London web design agency, the OTHER media, today revealed its latest website redesign for the theatrical ticketing agency, Abbey Box Office. The redesigned site combines rich, attractive graphics, with helpful information and a smooth, one page checkout process – making choosing and buying tickets a user friendly experience.
The fresh Abbey Box Office design brings the excitement of a trip to the theatre to life on screen and is unlike any other theatre ticketing website online. The black backdrop and un-cluttered feel really bring show artwork to the fore: while use of new technologies, like AJAX, creates seamless, in-page browsing.
Leticia Vega, Project Manager at the OTHER media is extremely proud of the new site “The Abbey Box Office website is breaking new ground in its industry: the design is truly beautiful and features all London’s top shows, each with a bespoke descriptive blurb. We’ve also included in-depth venue information, regular news and reviews and special offers to give online customers that little bit extra.”
Shows and venues can be browsed by genre, alphabetically and by location: while a powerful predictive search, similar to that used on Facebook, makes finding a show or play easy. Top picks, last chance bookings and advance bookings assist customer decision making and add personality to the site, while real time booking availability lets people see exactly what is available and when.
Mark Aljoe, Managing Director of Abbey Box Office, is delighted with the results. “We’re very excited by the arrival of our new site: the design is vibrant, eye-catching and modern: more importantly it is also user-friendly and simple to navigate. We want to make our customers’ lives easier and this new site will certainly help us do that.”
