Objectives

The GEM approached Chainlift to redesign their site, migrate to Webflow, and integrate the new site with their custom box office back end: Spektrix.

Challenges

The client uses a custom back end system for events and tickets, but they also needed an easy-to-use interface for maintaining the site. So we could use Webflow to host and manage the front-end. The integration would have to be custom.

Solutions

Using Webflow, we developed all the static components for the site and exported the code. The exported stylesheets were then repurposed and uploaded to Spektrix, who used them to generate custom-styled iframes for checkout components.

Custom Box Office Integration

By connecting a powerful box office back end, we've given users the ability to choose their own seats, reserve group tickets, and plan their entire visits on the same site.

Webflow CMS
Easy for clients to edit

Webflow gave our client the ability to quickly manage their own show queues themselves, without having to depend on an agency to do it for them.

Universal brand guidelines

With the site, I delivered a complete set of universal brand guidelines that direct not only their web presence, but their print media as well.
