WordPress Websites for Tessitura
WordPress websites with Tessitura built in: custom themes and our own plugins bring your season, live availability, TNEW buy buttons and patron sign-in into the editor your team already knows.
WordPress, with Tessitura built in.
WordPress is where most arts organizations want to publish: easy for your team, flexible, and supported everywhere. We've built and looked after WordPress sites for more than 15 years, and we write the themes and plugins that connect them to Tessitura.
Your team edits pages, news and production stories in the block editor. Our Tessitura plugin brings in the facts: dates, prices, live availability and buy buttons into TNEW, always current.
Straight from Tessitura.
Your season, from Tessitura
Productions, performances, dates, venues and prices come straight from Tessitura, so the website is never out of step with the box office.
Live availability
“Selling fast”, “Few seats left” and “Sold out” shown on every performance, worked out from Tessitura's live seat counts.
Buy buttons that land right
Every Buy tickets button opens the right performance in TNEW, or puts the seats straight into the patron's TNEW cart.
Patrons signed in
One login with TNEW: patrons see their upcoming tickets, memberships and benefits on your website, in their own account area.
Giving & membership
Donation and membership pages built on your Tessitura funds and levels, with checkout on TNEW, so every gift lands where your team expects it.
Packages & subscriptions
Season packages and flex passes listed from Tessitura, with what's in each and what it costs, ready to buy.
The Atlanta Opera.
We designed and built The Atlanta Opera's website, a WordPress site fully integrated with Tessitura, and we've looked after it ever since.

Tessitura in, TNEW out.
Your WordPress site sits between the two systems you already trust. It never takes payments itself, and it keeps working when Tessitura is busy.

Tessitura
Your productions, performances, prices, seats, patrons and funds, through the Tessitura REST API.

Our Tessitura plugin
Talks to Tessitura on the server, caches what it reads, and hands it to your theme and blocks.
- 03
Your WordPress site
Your team writes the stories; the plugin fills in dates, prices and availability.

TNEW checkout
Patrons buy, give and renew on TNEW, where payments and receipts already work.

Do we need a new website?
No. We can add our Tessitura plugin to your existing WordPress site, or redesign it and bring the integration with it. We also migrate sites from other platforms to WordPress.
Can our team still edit everything?
Yes. Pages, news, production stories and images stay in the WordPress editor. The Tessitura parts arrive as blocks your team places wherever they like, and the dates, prices and availability inside them update on their own.
Do you use page builders or bought themes?
No. We design and code custom themes for the WordPress block editor, which keeps sites faster, easier to maintain and harder to break.
WordPress or a custom build?
WordPress suits most organizations: your team publishes themselves, and our plugin brings in Tessitura. A custom build in .NET, React or Next.js suits sites that need to be especially fast, unusual or interactive. We'll recommend one after we've seen how your team works.
Do you replace TNEW?
No. The website works alongside TNEW: it shows the season, availability and accounts, and usually hands patrons to TNEW to pay, so payments and receipts stay where they already work.
What do we need from Tessitura?
Access to the Tessitura REST API for a service user with the permissions the website needs. We help your Tessitura administrator set it up, and the website only uses what it's given.
What happens if Tessitura is slow or down?
The website keeps working. What it reads from Tessitura is cached, so pages still show the season, and buy buttons still go to TNEW. Availability badges simply wait for the next good answer.
