Client

Silesian Theater (Teatr Śląski)

Katowice, Poland

Project Summary

iteo redesigned and rebuilt the Silesian Theater’s website as a modern WordPress solution using Gutenberg, focusing on accessibility (WCAG 2.1), readability and scalability. The project delivered multiple modules including store functionality and ticket-booking integration, and included staff trainings and recorded tutorials. The site met accessibility requirements and received positive reception and awards.

Key Challenges

Outdated and hard-to-edit website that didn’t reflect the theater’s artistic character
Need to modernize content and interlock contemporary design with strict WCAG 2.1 accessibility requirements
Requirement to enable easy content editing and future scalability for theater staff

Project Deliverables

Store functionality
News section
Performances and repertoire section
Employee base
Two-way ticket booking system integration
Design system (reusable styles and components)
WordPress site with Gutenberg live-edit capability

Project Solution

iteo designed and developed a modern WordPress site using Gutenberg and a live-edit option, implementing WCAG 2.1 accessibility features (contrast, grayscale, font-size adjustments, keyboard navigation, reading ruler, HTML semantics). They built a design system of reusable styles and components, added modules for store, news, performances, repertoire and employee base, and integrated a two-way ticket-booking system. The vendor provided staff trainings and delivered editable WordPress admin to enable future content management.

Project Outcome

The website was modernized into a scalable WordPress-based solution with many modules and unique views
The site met WCAG 2.1 accessibility requirements, improving access for users with disabilities
The ticket booking integration works live in two directions, facilitating sales
The project was delivered on time and within budget and received Mobile Trends Award 2021 and recognition on Websitecarbon.com
