Frequently Asked Questions
My cinema has more than one location. How would my KICS web site cater for more than one cinema location?
A KICS web site puts all your cinema information into one central databse and then feeds relevant information to your visitors.

Cinemas can be grouped together by geographic location and share information, or remain individual, depending on whether it is beneficial to display information for many cinemas or just one at a time. Upon entry to your web site a customer will choose their preferred location.

This means that each cinema's content, including session times, now showing and coming soon movie lists and others are presented based on the customer's chosen location.
My cinema is a small cinema with a single screen. Is a KICS web site solution viable for a cinema of this size?
Of course! Your KICS web site works on a pay-as-you-use approach. Small cinemas generate less web site traffic and utilise fewer resources than larger cinemas. Cinema will also have fewer email subscribers resulting in a cheaper weekly running cost of your web site.

Kinesis has developed systems and pricing policies to ensure that even a single screen cinema can have a professional quality web site.
