The Ryedale Festival is a leading classical music event held each summer in North Yorkshire. The festival brings together international artists, emerging talent and local musicians in historic venues across the region. The programme includes orchestral concerts, chamber music, opera and community projects.
Red Bonsai designed and built a bespoke website to enhance the Festival’s brand story and ensure consistent brand use.
Our mobile-first design approach to the Ryedale Festival website, ensuring that the design and user experience were optimised from the smallest screen up.
With a growing number of users accessing the site via mobile devices and tablets, we prioritised clear navigation, fast load times, and intuitive layouts that adapt seamlessly across screen sizes.
The site is fully responsive and easy to navigate, designed to meet the needs of a broad audience—from long-standing classical music enthusiasts to first-time visitors and families exploring local events.
The site integrates with ticketing and features a flexible content management system enabling continuous content updates. The clean, elegant design reflects the Festival’s professional and welcoming tone.
Key actions—such as browsing events, reading artist profiles, and booking tickets—were designed to be simple and accessible on mobile, then scaled up for tablet and desktop. This approach ensured consistency, improved performance, and a user-friendly experience
