At Motion Monsters, we’ve worked on a wide range of projects across New York and New Jersey, but our recent WordPress website design for Manhattan Concert Productions (MCP) is one we are especially proud of. MCP is no ordinary organisation. For over 25 years, they’ve brought together choirs, orchestras, and musicians from across the United States and around the world to perform at legendary venues such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Alice Tully Hall. Their reputation for excellence, collaboration, and artistry is second to none. The challenge was to create a new WordPress website that reflects MCP’s prestige and history while offering a modern, seamless experience for performers, audiences, and supporters.

Understanding MCP’s Vision

When MCP approached us, their goals were clear:

• Showcase their 26th season and highlight their legacy of excellence.
• Provide an easy way for performers to explore opportunities and register.
• Integrate box office functionality for upcoming concerts.
• Create a site that feels as inspiring as their performances.
• Ensure the design is mobile-friendly, accessible, and future-proof.

This project wasn’t just about design — it was about creating a digital stage that matched MCP’s world-class reputation.

The WordPress Design Process

Our WordPress designers in New York worked closely with the MCP team to ensure every part of the site served their mission.

Key Features

• Clean, Modern Design: We balanced elegant visuals with user-friendly layouts. MCP’s performances are rich with emotion and artistry, so the site needed to reflect that through bold imagery, refined typography, and thoughtful spacing.
• Concert Listings & Box Office Integration: Visitors can easily find upcoming concerts and purchase tickets, ensuring a smooth user journey from discovery to booking.
• Performer Opportunities Section: One of MCP’s most important goals is engaging ensembles and choirs. The new site makes it easy for directors and performers to learn about programmes and apply.
• Gallery & Testimonials: With decades of history, MCP has a powerful story to tell. The gallery and testimonials showcase both the scale of performances and the impact on participants.
• Responsive & Accessible: Audiences view the site on every device imaginable. We designed the WordPress build to adapt seamlessly across mobile, tablet, and desktop, ensuring inclusivity.

Why WordPress Was the Right Choice

For organisations like MCP, WordPress provides the perfect mix of flexibility and functionality.

• Scalable – As MCP grows, new series, concerts, and media can be added with ease.
• SEO-Friendly – With proper optimisation, the site is built to perform in New York and international searches.
• User-Friendly – The MCP team can update content themselves without needing a developer each time.
• Customisable – Unlike rigid platforms, WordPress allows bespoke features tailored to the performing arts sector.

Results for MCP

The finished site now serves as both an information hub and a marketing tool:

• Audiences can quickly find concert details and book tickets.
• Performers have a clear entry point to join future seasons.
• The brand identity of MCP — excellence, collaboration, artistry — shines through on every page.

It’s a site that not only looks professional but also works hard behind the scenes to support MCP’s mission.
