Invaluable long-distance website advice
Client
The Theatre Royal Stratford East opened for the first time in 1884 and has a capacity of 460 seats in its beautiful Victorian auditorium. It has a fully equipped kitchen, lifts to all areas, a larger open-plan box office and improved stage systems.
The challenge
The Theatre needed a website that reflected the quality of its services, but did not have a great budget to do it. After a thorough Internet search, Silvia Piloto, the Theatre's Senior Marketing Officer, found iT4Communities website, which offered exactly what her organisation needed.
Our help
Jason King, an iT4Communities volunteer based on Australia, contacted the Theatre Royal Stratford East immediately and carried out an online audit of its website. Then, he produced a report detailing which areas could be improved to make it more attractive and user friendly.
Jason's main recommendations a were to reduce the HTML coding errors, to improve the title pages to get a better profile on Google and to get a proper accessibility study from a company like AbilityNet.
The result
- A report enabling the theatre to make their website more attractive and user friendly
What our client said
We found Jason very responsive and he was able to do everything that we asked of him. For example, at one point I needed a report emailed to me over the weekend and he was even able to do that!...I would absolutely recommend that other organisations contact iT4Communities, I was very impressed with the work they carried out for us, which has allowed us to focus on what we do best: putting on a great show!
