A flexible component system lets the homepage adapt to the season: the same hero, callout banner, and cards swap between promoting performances in high season and highlighting the park in low season.

In low season the homepage leads with the park itself, then moves through food, program categories, park highlights, press, and a bird's-eye map.

Early in the process. Lots of references, experimentation, and wireframing.
High-season homepage wireframes for mobile and desktop, from the hero and upcoming performances down to park highlights and the map

Navigation opens as a mega menu with photo previews on desktop and takes over the whole screen on mobile.

A complex events experience: a performance calendar, series landing pages, and event pages, all connected to TodayTix ticketing to streamline discovery and purchase.

Visitors can jump to a date or filter by genre, venue, and ASL interpretation, with clear tags for limited and sold-out shows.
On an event page, tickets stay pinned as visitors explore.

A light rebrand and a new design system tie the site together and allow for scalability.

Design system foundations in Figma: desktop and mobile type styles, a black, white, grey, and blue palette, an icon set, and button and link states

Content pages utilize repurposable components available in the content library.
