Open Up

University of Leeds

Arts and Culture is a core focus for the University of Leeds. It is one of the many rich and varied elements that make them distinctive and whole. Open Up is their invitation to connect through culture — on campus, in the city, and beyond. They believe that arts and culture should be for everyone.

We developed a website that reaches audiences beyond the campus. We aim for everyone to enjoy a wide range of cultural events, workshops, talks, festivals, and more. The website pulls in events from a ticketing platform, giving the University of Leeds team flexibility to organise, upsell, and promote events, exhibitions and festivals.

Client testimonial

It was a pleasure working with Maraid from start to finish on our open up project. They not only provided us with site design and wireframes that was a perfect fit for our brand but also helped assist and support with other third party organisations to make launch of the project seamless. They liaised with our designer, provided integration with our ticketing system and also gave development support as needed. They were very reactive and brainstormed with us to troubleshoot and logistical issues as they came along. We would definitely recommend working with them again and see the launch of our site as the beginning of a relationship we hope to continue for years.
