MDB

New platform

from the ground up

We've been working with Městské divadlo Brno for over 10 years. The original website on our platform served reliably, but growing audience expectations and the need for multi-site management called for a ground-up rebuild.

MDB2

Multisite solution

with Colosseum integration

The theatre operates multiple stages, each with its own program and specifics. Sulu CMS enables managing all stages under a single installation with shared infrastructure yet independent content workflows.

Smart audience section

and full-text search

The audience section lets registered users track ticket availability for specific shows with automated notifications. Full-text search across the repertoire, cast profiles, and genre filtering make it easy to discover what's on.

Our approach

From UX analysis through design and development on Sulu CMS to Colosseum ticketing integration and Kubernetes deployment.

1

UX analysis and information architecture

We mapped the needs of audiences, editors, and theatre management. We designed an information architecture for a multisite solution with shared navigation and independent content per stage.
2

Visual design

We created a new visual concept reflecting the theatre's identity, emphasizing program clarity, accessibility, and a modern look that works across all devices.
3

Development on Sulu CMS with SSR

We built the platform on Sulu CMS with a PHP/Symfony backend and server-side rendering for maximum performance and SEO. Full-text search runs on Elasticsearch.
4

Colosseum integration and deployment

We integrated the Colosseum ticketing system for real-time ticket sales directly on the website. The entire solution runs on Kubernetes for high availability.
