Just the job for the Arts Council
“We’re delighted with our new website and the ever-improving numbers.”
THE CHALLENGE
Arts Jobs is a popular website and mailing list service for Arts Council England that promotes jobs, opportunities and news in the arts community. All content is user generated, by everyone from world-renowned galleries through to individual artists.
Arts Council England wanted us to develop the site to better serve the high volume of traffic.
THE SOLUTION
We redesigned the website to be simple-to-navigate, to scale to bursts of traffic and be fully responsive to ensure a first-class user experience no matter which device visitors are using.
We also integrated a heavyweight email system, capable of sending out 100,000 HTML emails per week. All of this was developed using the TYPO3 Open Source CMS.
Our ongoing management of the portal provides the Arts Council with a flexible resource which can adapt to suit fluctuations in the jobs market.
THE RESULTS
Here’s what the Arts Council say: “Since we relaunched the website, visitors have increased exponentially, page visits have improved and the average visit duration has lengthened.”
That’s not all: “Arts Jobs has become the number one online jobs community for the arts.”
