Substrakt Ethos & Approach
‣ We work with people we like, on projects we love
‣ Foster long-term relationships
‣ Sector-specific knowledge
‣ Focus on what’s important
‣ Reduce duplication wherever possible (integration)
‣ Effective, user-centred design
‣ Insights-driven (measure all the things)
#TLCC2016 / @substrakt
Why WordPress?
‣ Open source
‣ Powerful
‣ Extensible (plays nicely with others)
‣ Extremely usable
‣ The community
#TLCC2016 / @substrakt
‣ Heroku ‣ Platform as a Service. ‣ We deploy code using GitLab to application. ‣ Application sits on dynos - instant scalability. ‣ We focus on what we are good at.
‣ Amazon Web Services ‣ S3 and CloudFront CDN (Assets) ‣ RDS - Database
Hosting Environment
#TLCC2016 / @substrakt
‣ Dedicated team looking after TNEW - constant development.
‣ Will always work with new Tessitura upgrades.
‣ Use your resources wisely
TNEW rather than ‘Full’ Integration
#TLCC2016 / @substrakt
‣ TNEW Hosted Template. ‣ Substrakt will implement your own styling.
‣ We host your TNEW template in AWS S3 Bucket. ‣ Substrakt will skin your TNEW site so it will: ‣ (a) become a seamless part of your front-end site.
Or ‣ (b) look beautiful as a standalone site.
How we integrate with Tessitura & TNEW
#TLCC2016 / @substrakt
‣ Attendable ‣ WordPress plugin. ‣ Tessitura Web API integration. ‣ Focus based on using content that you have already setup
for TNEW. ‣ Use of keywords to identify additional items such as genre,
access performances and education events.

#TLCC2016 / @substrakt
‣ Project started in early 2015. ‣ Frustration with old CMS - no flexibility. ‣ Duplication of content entry - Tessitura and marketing
website. ‣ Good starting point to clean up existing Tessitura structure
and utilise more functionality. ‣ TNEW was skinned, but was not focused and not very
functional.

#TLCC2016 / @substrakt
‣ Wordpress combined with TNEW is an elegant and powerful
mix. ‣ The Tessitura API presents numerous opportunities for
sophisticated enhancement on top of this. ‣ Your website shouldn’t force you to jump through weird
hoops. ‣ Your systems can, and should, talk to each other.
