Philharmonie Haarlem becomes PHIL

with not one but two refreshing sites

Philharmonie Haarlem continues under the new name PHIL Haarlem. With its own new style and programming for a diverse audience. PHIL is part of Stadsschouwburg & PHIL Haarlem, they previously shared one site on theater-haarlem.nl. Although PHIL will continue to be a part of this organisation, it receives a new website (co-designed by Nathanaël Reuling) and a fresh new look (designed by Studio Suze Swarte and Studio Jord Noorbeek).

PHIL Business

Not just the new house style, but also space for the big business department, was crucial for PHIL's website. In PHIL's halls and foyers, conferences, corporate parties, and other business gatherings are frequently held. This department's branding and feeling had to be able to stand apart from the overall PHIL brand on the new website. Our task was to establish a completely functional subsite for the PHIL Business sub-brand on the PHIL website.

Subsite: two sites in one

The new subsite feature is perfect for having a "separate site" for, say, business purposes, as PHIL intended. When you select the menu option "Business" on the PHIL website, a pop-up banner notifies you that you are about to enter the environment specific to the sub-brand. Even though it is on the same website, this distinct environment has its own logo, menu, and custom styling. In this way, the website clearly defines the differences between the two brands.

New calendar filter

Another key goal of PHIL was to always give visitors the option to change their search criteria while browsing though the agenda. As a result, we created a brand-new kind of calendar filter that is always visible because it is situated on the programme page to the side of a desktop screen. On a mobile device, it changes to a minimalist design with just two buttons that let you pick data or filters.
