New Look Rough Magic Theatre Website Takes Shape

Posted on by Collette Knowles

As you may or may not know I have been spending rather a lot of time lately redesigning our main website (www.roughmagictheatre.co.uk).

The idea is to make information easier to find, and to group information into pages for particular groups of people, (such as schools or theatres).  I have included a picture below of what the new home page is looking like so far:

 

New Front Page

Please let me know what you think.  I am particularly interested in whether people like the colours.  Does it seem friendly and easy to read?  What impression does it give you about us as a business?  Would you want to read more and to look at the other pages?

I am also interested in whether you prefer this look to the current look of our website, (CLICK HERE FOR CURRENT ROUGH MAGIC THEATRE SITE).

Please reply to this post to leave your comments about the New Look of the website.  I really appreciate your help 🙂

Here’s a nice email from one of my readers David Goboff:

Hi Collette

I wrote to you once before about the suitcase shadow theater.  I’m still knocking about with the idea but have not put one into a show.  About your idea using a pram; sounds good because they can go over rough ground, and you do seem to do lots of outdoor gigs.
I have been noodling around with a shopping cart.  I don’t think it would do as well over grass, but I like the way it can fold up.  Here’s a picture that is like the one I’m adapting:

It folds, does well over paved areas and indoors.  I have cut a door into the back so I can get to the cart itself without going through the top.  I have a plywood top that fits onto the cart.  The handle comes apart and the plywood has 2 holes cut into it so the handle can pass through.  I haven’t attached a screen, but I have used a small toy theater that I stored inside the cart, but placed on the top.  Setting it up is part of the show.
I too have a battery operated PA that will fit below.  Its weight gives the cart stability.
When it is further along I’ll take some photos and send them along.
Here’s a search for more pictures of the folding shopping carts.
