The Outsiders: A Broadway Website Built Around the Ticket Buy

Challenge & Approach
One Goal Above All Others
The Outsiders came to us with an existing site that needed to work harder. New production artwork was coming — but more importantly, the site needed a cleaner, more deliberate path to conversion. The primary objective was simple: get visitors to buy tickets. Secondary goals included show education and email sign-up acquisition, but nothing could compete with the ticket CTA for hierarchy and attention. We started with peer analysis and stakeholder interviews to surface pain points and align on goals before a single wireframe was drawn. That discovery informed an information architecture that separated two distinct ticket tiers — Standard and Premium — giving each a clear, designed pathway rather than leaving the distinction to fine print. Wireframes were validated internally before moving into high-fidelity design, ensuring the structure was sound before the new artwork was applied.

My Role
UX, UI, and Design Direction End to End
I led the project across both UX and UI — owning the discovery process, wireframe architecture, and final visual design. I supervised a freelance designer who supported production across the engagement. The result was a cohesive design system that gave the production team flexibility to update content while maintaining consistency across the site.





Results
On Time, On Brand, Built to Last
The redesigned Outsiders site launched on schedule with a design system in place for ongoing content management. The client was satisfied with both the process and the outcome — a site that leads with the show's energy while keeping the ticket buy front and center.
