ByTowne Cinema & Fox Theatre Website Design & Development
ByTowne Cinema in Ottawa and Fox Theatre in Toronto share a custom WordPress platform that supports two distinct brands while creating a seamless experience for film lovers.
The Why Behind the Work
The two independent cinemas have distinct identities, loyal audiences, and strong programming. What they shared was a need for a more flexible digital foundation. Their previous websites made updates time-consuming, limited how showtimes and events were displayed, and created friction for users trying to browse films or buy tickets on mobile. As programming expanded and audience expectations shifted, the digital experience needed to be better to support discovery, booking, and day-to-day operations.
