Revel in the power of words.

Melbourne Writers Festival holds a unique and important position in the Melbourne festival landscape, with a broad appeal being the festival “for everyone who reads”. An important part of any festival is to sell tickets, and Melbourne Writers Festival came to us to explore a revamped interface.

We aimed to gain an understanding of the complexities of the festival by holding workshops which also gave the stakeholders a chance to speak candidly about the reasons for wanting change. We learned that success would require a drastically different website experience, and that seamless client management of the online assets was a must. Existing API’s were required to stay in place which handle ticketing, and the site was required to have different modes which correspond to the festivals seasons.
