The challenge
A cultural foundation with a busy programme (lectures, livestreams, podcast, members) needs a site that runs reliably 24/7, can be updated quickly for new events, and works smoothly with back-office systems. Ticketing and membership logic must land in the right system (OVAS), while editors and visitors keep a clear WordPress experience.
Our solution
MG Software provides hosting and proactive maintenance: updates, performance, availability, and support when the programme changes. The website is connected to OVAS so events, availability (e.g. sold out), and membership flows stay in sync with the organisation’s CRM and sales back office. The public site remains the showcase while administration and sales stay in one source of truth.
Results
Reliable hosting and management for a high-visibility international cultural brand site
Linked data flows between the website and OVAS for events and members
Faster turnaround when the programme or season changes
Less manual duplicate work between the site and the back office
Support for ongoing evolution alongside core WordPress functionality
Key features
OVAS integration
Integration between the site and OVAS for consistent display of the programme, status (such as sold out), and membership-related flows — aligned with the team’s workflow.
Hosting & availability
Managed hosting focused on uptime, backups, and security updates — suited to a foundation with traffic spikes around major names and ticket releases.
Maintenance & iteration
Structured maintenance of WordPress, plugins, and themes, plus hands-on help for new sections, media (podcast/video), and editorial needs.
