About 2 years ago, this funny idea came to the table- “We NEED a new website!” And to be quite honest, the idea wasn’t necessarily our own. Our visitors to playhousesquare.org were crying out for something, anything to be done. We got comments like “It took me an hour just to find the show I was looking for!” and “How come when I put something into the search box, I can’t determine what the results mean?” Comment after comment rolled in and we realized, yes, Houston (wait! wrong line…) yes, Dear Visitors to playhousesquare.org, we have a problem.
So with a problem in hand, we embarked on a journey- a LONG journey. Since that day 2 years ago, we began our playhousesquare.org redesign project. And to this day, we are STILL working on it. It’s actually become a running joke amongst the staff these days “Are we REALLY re-designing the website? I politely shake my head and smile, yes staffers, yes.
It’s taking so long because we want everything to be just right. We sent out surveys to many of our visitors asking for their feedback and input and we have combed through each response making sure that we attempt to address everything. We want the site to reflect the entertainment we hold, the excitement that lives here, and the destination we are and to FINALLY be user friendly.
Stay tuned peeps. The new site is (fingers crossed, knock on wood) tentatively scheduled to launch this summer. In the meantime, here’s a tiny peek at the new design.
