THE CHALLENGE

A brand new performing arts center needed a beautiful, user-friendly and easy-to-manage website

Groton Hill Music Center combines world-class music performances with a thriving community music school Their previous website, however, wasn’t delivering the same harmony. It lacked visual appeal, offered limited audience engagement, and required extensive manual upkeep.

Key challenges included:

No conversion tracking for ticket sales, class registrations, or donations
Manual content management for concerts, classes, and events
Overly text-heavy design with limited visual storytelling
Architectural bloat from years of accumulated content and pages

The organization needed a modern, intuitive, and visually striking website that would:

Showcase their unique facility and diverse programming
Serve multiple audiences, including students, patrons, donors, and community partners
Streamline content updates and marketing efforts

We're grateful for the partnership and dedication LadyBugz showed throughout the process.
