Case Study: Wales' Oldest Cinema Community Charity streamlines showtime management with Vale Software Solutions

Wales' Oldest Cinema Community Charity cuts daily website maintenance with Vale Software Solutions

The community charity operating Wales' oldest cinema faced a significant challenge in managing its online presence. Using a WIX website to advertise show times required almost daily manual updates, which consumed considerable time and effort. To reduce this workload, the charity engaged Vale Software Solutions to create a dynamic website with an easily updatable event calendar, content management, and a new 'Art Deco' redesign.

Vale Software Solutions implemented a database-driven website to address these requirements. Their solution featured easy-to-use maintenance forms for adding movies and events, and it integrated an open movie database API to automatically pull in film details, trailers, and posters. They also developed a simple show times entry screen and added a full content management system with a future-date preview feature. This greatly streamlined the charity's administrative process, saving them a substantial amount of time previously spent on daily website maintenance.
