Custom software development for Art & Culture organizations

We know your stories deserve to reach more people – but old systems, limited resources, and disconnected tools often get in the way. With our help, cultural organizations launch websites and mobile apps that are easy to manage, accessible to all, and built to support your team’s daily work as much as your cultural mission.

Purpose-driven approach to digital innovation in Arts & Culture

From vision to launch and beyond, we partner with museums, theaters, and cultural nonprofits to build websites and mobile apps that engage audiences, drive ticket sales, and make your mission more accessible in the digital world.

Step 1

Process:

We start by listening. Through stakeholder workshops, user research, and a review of your existing systems, we identify what’s working, what’s not, and what your team needs to succeed online. We prioritize audience goals, content workflows, and integration needs.

Result:

A clear, shared roadmap that outlines your ideal website or app – from technical features to storytelling goals – so everyone from curators to marketers understands the direction and feels confident in the plan.

Step 2

Process:

We create low-fidelity wireframes and clickable prototypes that help you visualize how your digital platform will work – on both desktop and mobile. Then, we bring your brand to life through accessible, user-tested design tailored to visitors, members, and donors.

Result:

A modern, mobile-friendly design that reflects your institution’s identity and serves your audiences – from browsing exhibits to buying tickets or accessing collections on the go.

Step 3

Process:

Our developers build your website or mobile app using scalable technologies. We integrate third-party tools like Tessitura for ticketing, CRMs for donor management, and tools for accessibility and analytics – all while ensuring performance and security.

Result:

A reliable, flexible digital platform – whether web or mobile – that supports your programs, events, and users. You’ll be able to manage content easily, accept donations, sell tickets, and keep data flowing between systems.

Step 4

Process:

Before anything goes live, we test for mobile performance, accessibility, load speed, and SEO. We make sure everything – from exhibit pages to ticketing flows – works smoothly. Launch includes training and real-time monitoring.

Result:

A polished digital platform that looks great, loads fast, and meets the needs of all users. You’ll go live with confidence and the tools to measure and optimize performance.

Step 5

Process:

After launch, we stay by your side. We offer SLA-backed support, training for your staff, regular updates, performance audits, and new features based on audience feedback or organizational growth.

Result:

A long-term partnership that helps your digital tools evolve with your institution. Whether it’s expanding your mobile app, improving donation flows, or updating content, you’ll have expert help every step of the way.

We’ve helped partners, from startups to Fortune 500s, achieve their goals. Their feedback is our greatest reward!

Testimonials

Throughout the migration process and beyond, Five Jars has been responsive to our needs.

Five Jars provided training documents and hosted an online training session to bring us up to speed and teach us how to use our new CMS. They provided rapid support and gave us multiple communication channels, so that we can use the tools that are most convenient for us. I look forward to working with the Five Jars team as we continue to refine our website.
