We Love Designing Event & Festival Websites

Whether it’s a music festival, a community celebration or a marathon… a beautiful, functional website is a very important part of your event.

You want your website to look great and inspire festival-goers to attend and also make it easy for them to buy tickets, find an event schedule, make donations and more. Wired Right Web Design has built many effective, engaging festival websites. And once established, most of our festival clients return to us year after year to update, refresh and maintain these sites.

Priority One: Capture the Spirit of the Festival

We work hard to build a website that reflects the essence of the festival. Each of our designs is unique and we strive to choose vibrant images, colors, and fonts that match the theme of the event and also the vibe of the organization or community. Showcasing archived photos, posters and videos from previous years is important as well in building excitement and establishing the traditions of the festival. If your event includes unique activities like Paonia Cherry Days cherry spitting and wood chopping contests, or a Celtic Marketplace like the KVMR Celtic Festival we will create attractive posts about these events that include fun imagery of the activities over the years.

User-Friendly Navigation

Festival websites often contain a lot of information, from event schedules to artist lineups and ticket purchasing options. A well-organized, intuitive navigation menu is very important and mobile responsiveness of the menu is absolutely crucial, as most folks will be looking for info from their phones during the event.

Essential Information

We provide all the necessary details your festival-goers need and make them easy to find.

• Seamless Ticket Purchase: Simple process and linked in several places and in header and footer of every page.
• Event Schedule: A detailed, interactive schedule that users can filter by date, and which links to each performer and activity for maximum information.
• Activity Posts: We create a page for each activity and then we link to those activity pages from the event schedule so that folks can get all the info about the events right from the schedule.
• Artist/Performer Pages: Profiles for artists, including bios, images, and performance times, all linking from the schedule.
• Forms: We build custom forms for our festival websites. From contact forms to vendor registration to parade entries, we create custom forms so your audience can sign up for exactly which booth space they need, all the necessary addons and make payments right from the website.
• Venue Information: Maps, parking details, and accessibility information.
• FAQs: A comprehensive FAQ section addressing common questions and describing local lodging and restaurant options is important, as you can see on the Mountain Harvest Festival Website.
• Archive: images and info from past years

Engaging and Informative

Our goal is too keep the site current and engaging with News and announcements and regular updates. Social media feeds and email newsletter integration also help organizations stay in touch with festival-goers and build excitement for the event.

• Blog/News Section: Regular updates about new artist announcements, changes, and other festival news.
• Social Media Feeds: Live feeds from platforms like Instagram and Twitter.
• Email Signup: Encourage visitors to sign up for updates and festival announcements.

Visual and Interactive Elements

Enhance the user experience with engaging visuals and interactive elements.

• Interactive Schedule
• Photo and Video Galleries: High-quality images and videos from past festivals.
• Interactive Maps: Maps of the festival grounds, showing stages, food vendors, restrooms, etc.
• Countdown Timer: A countdown to the festival start date to build anticipation.

Accessibility and Inclusivity

We will make sure your website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities by implementing inclusive language and design practices.

Embrace creativity, but stay user-focused

We are experts at capturing the true “vibe” of your event. But designing a festival website is about more than just aesthetics; it’s about creating an engaging, informative, and seamless experience for users. By capturing the spirit of the festival, providing essential information in an accessible way, and facilitating easy ticket purchasing, we help ensure your festival is a memorable success.
