We’ve delivered a new WordPress website with CiviCRM integration for Cardboard Citizens

03/06/2020 - Insights

Cardboard Citizens is the UK's only homeless people's professional theatre company, and the leading practitioner of Forum Theatre and the Theatre of the Oppressed methodology in the UK.

The acclaimed theatre company works with people who have experience of homelessness or those at risk of becoming homeless to create theatre that makes a real and positive difference to society and those living in its margins, helping to bring about social change. As an organisation, Cardboard Citizens allows people to develop skills and confidence and achieve qualifications through ongoing programmes of work including courses, theatre workshops and performances.

To help Cardboard Citizens reach more people and better engage with and inform its membership, Un.titled designed and developed a WordPress website for the Cardboard Citizens team.

Launched in May 2020, the new site features a flexible ticketing solution that allows for the sale of tickets for Cardboard Citizens courses, events and performances through their CiviCRM integration, as well as other venues and co-producers. The solution ultimately is flexible enough for the organisation to sell tickets via any channel they choose.

As well as running our usual UX workshops, the Un.titled team ensured that this WordPress site supports the integrated CiviCRM forms and that the event pages and booking options are flexible enough to accommodate various availability and multi-venue requirements (perfect for tours and ongoing productions).

“The ‘Our Stories’ section of the site is one of my favourite new elements as it highlights the importance of Cardboard Citizen's members and their stories,” said Leon Puplett, project manager at Un.titled. “They wanted to make sure visitors to the site understand that their members are at the centre of their work. So our designs ensured that you can always find a link to one of the member’s stories across the website,showcasing the impact Cardboard Citizen's work has had on the variety of people that they work with, putting their stories front and centre.”

A full case study on our work with Cardboard Citizens will be available soon.
