The Lighthouse Cinema
Overview
Light House is one of Dublin's most vibrant cultural spaces with 614 seats across 4 screens including a cafe and subterranean bar built into the framework of an underground car park.
Their beautiful surroundings, city-centre location and unique programming style has earned us the reputation as one of the best cinemas in Ireland with accolades from the likes of the Guardian Film Awards (Highly Commended Best Cinema) and ARTINFO (Coolest Cinema in the World).
The Brief
As the platform grew and adapted to changing user needs, its structure became increasingly complex and challenging to maintain.
Users were encountering friction across key journeys, content management had become inefficient, and the overall experience lacked consistency. In addition, external systems such as booking and payment interfaces felt disconnected from the main website.
The result was a platform that no longer supported users or internal teams as effectively as it should.
The Process
We began with a comprehensive audit of the entire platform to identify where users were experiencing difficulties and where processes could be improved.
Using UX testing and behavioural insights, we redesigned key user journeys to simplify navigation and remove unnecessary complexity. This allowed us to introduce clearer, more efficient workflows across the site.
We then developed a set of brand-aligned templates and implemented improved content management processes, making it easier for internal teams to create, update and maintain content consistently.
With these foundations in place, we restructured the site’s content architecture and applied the updated brand identity, including marque, colour system and design guidelines, to create a more intuitive and cohesive user experience.
Finally, we refined all external API interfaces, ensuring a seamless transition between the website and integrated booking and payment systems.
The Result
The result is a significantly more streamlined and user-focused platform.
- Simplified user journeys that reduce friction and improve usability
- A consistent design system aligned with the updated brand
- More efficient content management processes for internal teams
- Seamless integration between the website and external systems
- A scalable platform better suited to future growth
By combining strategy, UX design and technical implementation, the platform is now positioned to better support both user needs and business objectives.
