In the ever-evolving world of arts and culture, digital presence is a critical focus point for venues. But how do venues navigate the complex landscape of website development and management? Enter CultureSuite CMS, the innovative Software as a Service (SaaS) platform that's revolutionising how cultural organisations manage their online presence.
As we celebrate CultureSuite's monumental 200th release, we sit down with the visionaries behind this game-changing platform: Coen van der Poll, founder and CEO of CultureSuite, and Ivo van der Ent, CPO of CultureSuite. With over two decades of experience crafting digital solutions for the arts sector, these industry veterans offer unique insights into the evolution from bespoke website development to a comprehensive SaaS model.
Discover how CultureSuite's journey, starting in 2000 as a traditional web agency and transforming into a specialised SaaS platform for arts and culture, has reshaped the digital landscape for venues worldwide. Learn why a SaaS CMS offers unparalleled benefits over bespoke websites—from cost-effectiveness and continuous updates to community-driven innovation and scalability.
