FESTIVAL & EVENT WEB DESIGN AGENCY
Web design & development for festivals and events
Whether you are running a festival, a conference, or a ticketed event, you are building a community around something that matters to the people who show up. As a festival and event website design agency, we build sites that drive ticket sales, showcase your lineup or programme, and hold up under pressure when demand spikes.
How can
we help?
Every events organisation has different goals. Here are the things we are most often asked to help with.
Connect your platforms
Ticketing systems, CRMs, email marketing platforms, scheduling tools: when they talk to your website, your team gets back the time spent on manual updates. We build the integrations that make that happen.
Raise awareness
Build your audience before the gates open. Whether you are launching a new event or growing an established one, your digital presence is how people find you, follow you, and tell others about you.
Stay live when it matters most
The moments that define your event online... the lineup reveal, the on-sale announcement, the last-minute push are exactly when your site needs to hold up. We build for performance and test for the traffic spikes that come with them.
Sell more tickets
Your website should be your best ticket seller. We design and build purchase journeys that move people from interest to booking with as little friction as possible, on any device, at any hour.
Festival and event website design
We understand that event websites live and die by their busiest moments. Launch day. On-sale day. The week before doors open. We build for that.
We have built festival and event websites for All Points East, BST Hyde Park, Heritage Live, and Eventim Apollo. We understand that your digital presence is not just a website. It is how your audience experiences your brand before, during, and after the event. Discovery workshops, audience research, and UX design come before anything is built. Content structures are designed around how your team works and how fast your event moves. And because we handle brand, integrations, and ongoing support as well, everything stays connected.

Festival and event website design and build
From initial discovery through to launch, we design and build event websites around your audiences and your goals. Craft CMS and Webflow are both available depending on what your event needs. Performance, accessibility, and content management are built in from the start.
Ticketing and platform integrations
We connect your website to the ticketing and event management platforms you already use via their API's. Real-time availability, seamless purchase flows, and data that moves automatically between your systems.
High-performance builds
On-sale days and lineup reveals drive some of the highest traffic spikes in digital. We optimise every build for speed and resilience so your site performs under pressure, not just in testing.
Brand transformation
Your event's identity is what people remember between editions and what builds anticipation for the next one. We create visual identities and brand systems that work across digital and physical, consistently and at scale.
Ongoing support and maintenance
Once your site is live, we stay involved. Security updates, performance monitoring, content updates, and new feature development as your event grows. We are there in the run-up to on-sale, not just at launch.

Questions about festival and events website design
Can your websites handle the traffic that comes with a lineup reveal or ticket on-sale?
Yes, and this is something we design for from the start rather than try to fix at the end. On-sale days and lineup announcements can send traffic through the roof in minutes, and a site that goes down at that moment loses sales and damages trust in ways that are hard to recover from. We optimise every event website build for performance and resilience, load-test for the traffic spikes specific to your event's scale, and make sure hosting infrastructure is configured to handle demand — not just steady-state traffic.
Which ticketing platforms can you integrate with?
We have experience integrating with Eventbrite, DICE, See Tickets, and Spektrix, as well as building custom ticketing flows where standard integrations do not meet the requirement. We can connect your website to your ticketing platform so that availability updates automatically, purchase journeys flow without interruption, and your team is not manually updating ticket status between systems. If you use a platform not on this list, get in touch — if it has a documented API, we can almost certainly work with it.
How long does it take to build a festival or event website?
Most festival website projects run between three and five months from discovery to launch, depending on the scale of the site and the number of integrations involved. Event websites are often time-critical, and we plan timelines around your key dates: on-sale announcements, lineup reveals, and the event itself. We flag any risks to the timeline early and build milestones in throughout so there are no surprises close to launch.
Can you help us sell more tickets through our website?
Yes. Ticket sales through your website depend on two things: getting the right people to the site, and making it as easy as possible for them to buy once they are there. We design purchase journeys that reduce friction at every step, optimise for mobile — where the majority of festival audiences browse and buy — and connect your site to your ticketing platform so the journey from interest to confirmed booking is as short as possible. We have built ticketing-focused websites for All Points East, BST Hyde Park, Heritage Live, and Eventim Apollo.
Our event has a strong visual identity. Can you build a website that does it justice?
It is one of the things we focus on most for events clients. A festival or event website often needs to feel like an extension of the brand experience itself — it should create anticipation before the event and feel like it belongs to the same world as the poster, the social content, and the stage design. We work closely with your creative team or, if needed, develop the visual language ourselves through our brand transformation work. The result is a website that feels specific to your event, not a generic template with your logo on it.
Do you offer support during the event itself, not just at launch?
Yes. The week before doors open and the days of the event are often when your site is under the most pressure and your team has the least capacity to deal with technical issues. We offer ongoing support retainers that cover exactly this: monitoring performance, making urgent content updates, and being available when you need us most. The same team that built your site is the team you contact — not a separate support desk that has never seen your codebase.
