BACK TO OUR WORKCLIENT: Saatchi Gallery London
SECTOR: Arts & Culture
SCOPE: WordPress Web Development
Our expertise in WordPress Web Development attracted Saatchi Gallery. The renowned contemporary London art gallery needed to enhance its online presence. To achieve this goal, the gallery planned to migrate its existing websites to WordPress. These included SaatchiGallery.com and SaatchiStore.com. Our goal was to integrate essential features. We aimed to support the gallery's diverse activities.
Our challenges were based on the delivery of some diverse WordPress web development functionalities. These would help streamline operations. Our initial work was just for the gallery website. This required a comprehensive online platform. It needed to support membership management, ticket sales, donations, and event management. It also had to handle other key functions. The WordPress website needed to offer different access levels. These levels were for patrons, exhibitors, artists, and staff. Each of these needed specific permissions and functionalities.
Our WordPress Lead Developer created a solution to manage the different stages of exhibitions. This includes planning, scheduling, and archiving. It also provides a visual view of events. This helps staff coordinate their work more efficiently.
We implemented a robust membership management and ticketing system. It now has both online and mobile check-in capabilities. Staff can now create and schedule exhibitions. They can also view them with related actions and visibility settings. We integrated social media tools for content sharing and direct sales. We also developed a drag-and-drop newsletter module. It is compatible with external SMTP servers. CRM and accounts integration ensures seamless data flows between systems.
The Saatchi Gallery now has a contemporary, user-friendly WordPress website. The streamlined functionalities enhance the visitor experience. There is an improved internal operational efficiency. This has helped to boost online sales. Integration with social media, CRM, and accounting software enables effective audience engagement. They can now manage business processes seamlessly. Overall, the new WordPress website helps position the Saatchi Gallery as a leader in the digital art space. They are showcasing their commitment to art and innovation.
