kapow has been designing and helping maintain websites for the Los Angeles Philharmonic since 1999. In November of 2007, kapow launched a newly designed website for Los Angeles' prestigious cultural landmark, The Walt Disney Concert Hall. The site's design integrates both audio elements from concerts and visual elements from the building's architecture. Performance schedules, musician biographies, historical and press information are presented in an intuitive and accessible interface. Subsequent updates to the design were integrated in 2009 to complement the arrival of Gustavo Dudamel as Music Director.
Site features include:
- Cold Fusion-based customized back-end scripting
- Graphical calendar that displays the season's scheduled performances by month and musical category
- Extensive music database on composers, performers and music pieces
- Interactive Flash seating chart showing the actual view from each seating section
- Robust search engine that allows users to find information throughout the site quickly and easily
- Integrated navigation between the Walt Disney Concert Hall and Hollywood Bowl websites
