Efficient architecture with a centralized CMS 

We built the solution using a combination of WordPress, REST API, and React Native. WordPress serves as the central content management system; the website pulls data directly from it, and the mobile app retrieves it via the API. As a result, the program, participating locations, map, and practical information are all managed in one place and displayed consistently on both the website and the app. 

Delivered on time for the event

The main challenge was the fixed deadline. For an event of this type, there is no room for lengthy fine-tuning after launch—the digital solution must be ready on time and functioning the moment visitors actually need it. That’s why we focused on a fast and practical implementation that leverages proven technologies. 

A fresh new look 

The website design underwent a major transformation. We’ve reimagined the visual design—which changes every year—in a modern and attractive way that reflects the scale and character of the event. When designing the user experience, we also emphasized maximum clarity on mobile devices—we simplified navigation and enlarged the controls for comfortable use on the go. 

Mobile app 

We built the mobile app using React Native. Thanks to a single shared codebase, we didn’t have to develop separate solutions for each operating system, which significantly sped up development and simplified ongoing maintenance.

Fast and reliable performance

Part of our work also involved optimizing data loading. The program included 52 participating venues, including 7 galleries, 18 museums, and 27 other cultural institutions. Therefore, it was necessary to display information quickly and reliably both on the website and in the mobile app. The result is a solution that simplifies content management for organizers and makes it easier for visitors to navigate the program. 

Key features:

Event Program at a Glance

Visitors have access to an overview of participating venues and program items, including detailed information. This allows them to quickly find out what’s happening where and what the Brno Museum Night has to offer.

Map of Participating Sites 

The solution includes a map of Brno showing participating sites organized by category. This allows visitors to better navigate the locations of individual museums, galleries, and other sites.

 

Transport options and timetables

Both the website and the app provide practical information about the event, including public transport timetables, helping visitors plan how to get to participating venues.

For Brno Museum Night, we delivered a solution within a short timeframe that streamlined content management, made the program available both on the website and in the app, and provided the organizers with a practical way to review and publish information about individual venues. The website recorded a total of around 16,000 visits.
