Computicket
Prezence's redevelopment of the Computicket website has resulted in a site that is functional, strategically-focused, beautifully-designed and – most importantly – easy to use and enjoy.
A lightweight but highly-functional and intuitive user interface that works seamlessly with Computicket’s tried and tested physical ticketing platform, the site makes it simpler and more intuitive for users to find and book for events.
This puts the website experience completely inline with the physical Computicket brand experience, which revolves around providing access to events ranging from theatre and concerts to festivals, sporting action and even travel.
The Computicket.com site enhances the user experience through a variety of tools that allow site visitors to find exactly what they’re looking for in a matter of seconds and one or two clicks – no matter how they choose to search.
The site employs Prezence's Extreme Functionality philosophy branching out from three fundamental event-matching criteria: What, where or when? So if consumers know what type of event they'd like to attend, when they want to go, or even when they want to do something, they can find exactly what they’re looking for.
Furthermore a lightweight interactive seating plan replaces the old Java system and provides far more control over the booking experience as well as some handy at-a-glance mini seating plan features.
A useful Itinerary Planner tool allows 'festival' goers to plan their days attending multiple shows without a schedule clash. With the ability to save multiple itineraries, all planned events can then easily be booked in one simple online transaction.
A new Quick Book functionality allows users to choose seats and transact in seconds without leaving the home page.
Prezence's redevelopment of the site also includes hundreds of additional enhancements to improve the overall user experience, such as hover-over information, similar event cross linking, at-a-glance icon information provision and interactive shopping baskets.
From a technological point of view, the first-time visit overhead is limited to a mere 350kb, and the site also uses intelligent browser and database caching to facilitate instant loading on subsequent visits and ensure quick and efficient search results.
