Websites for festivals

A festival website that gets
people off the fence.

The lineup, the food, the tickets, and last year's crowd — presented well enough to turn "maybe" into a drive across the county. From $900, ready before your posters print.

  • Lineup & schedule pages
  • Vendor & food truck applications
  • Wired to your ticketing

Your event, specifically

Festivals sell an experience, sight unseen.

People decide from their couch whether your weekend is worth their Saturday. The website is the pitch.

01

The couch decision

Before anyone buys a ticket, they scroll: who's playing, what's the food, what does the crowd look like. A Facebook event with a flyer JPEG loses that scroll every time.

Last year's photos sell this year's tickets.

02

The lineup shuffle

Acts get added, times shift, a headliner cancels. A printed poster is wrong the day it's printed — the site is where the current truth lives, and where you point everyone who asks.

One current schedule, everywhere.

03

The vendor pipeline

Food trucks and craft vendors are booked months out, and every inquiry starts with the same questions. Published space pricing and an online application turn that churn into a pipeline.

Complete applications, not phone tag.

Built in

What a festival site gets from me.

Everything on the standard build, tuned for festival weekend.

🎪

Lineup and schedule, phone-first

Who's on, what stage, what time — readable in the sun on a phone with 12% battery. When the schedule shifts, it's corrected once on the site instead of debated in the comments. Tickets stay one obvious tap away the whole way down the page, wired to whatever platform you already sell through.

Vendor & food truck applications

Space pricing published, applications that arrive complete — booth size, power, menu — so a yes takes one reply.

Grounds map & rules

Sponsors that renew

Tier pages and a logo wall give the businesses that fund your festival something to point at — and make next year's ask easier.

Weather-day announcements

Rain delay, moved stage, early close — post it once, it's on every page. Add the organizer login and post from the grounds yourself.

Proof, not promises

Built from a real event site.

My shipped show site runs a three-day event weekend — the same bones a festival needs: schedule, sponsors, map, galleries, announcements.

Straight answers

Festival website questions

What should a festival website have on it?

The lineup and schedule where a phone can read them, tickets one obvious tap away, food and vendor lists, parking and rules — what can I bring, what can't I — and a way for vendors and volunteers to sign up. Then last year's photos, because photos are what convince someone a festival is worth the drive.

Do you handle ticketing?

I wire the site to the ticketing you already use — Eventbrite or whatever platform your festival sells through — so every page pushes people to it. If admission is a gate-cash affair, the site says so plainly. Money never runs through me either way.

Can food trucks and vendors apply on the site?

Yes, on the Show Platform tier. Space pricing published, application forms that come to your inbox complete — booth size, power needs, menu — so a yes takes one reply instead of six calls.

What about weather and day-of changes?

You text me and the announcement goes up across the site that day — Full Season plans cover same-day updates through the whole weekend. Or add the announcement banner with organizer login and post it yourself from the grounds in seconds.

We're volunteer-run with a small budget. Is this realistic?

That's who the pricing is for. Start at $900 for a single page done properly, pay yearly instead of monthly, and see the finished site before the balance is due. Or buy it outright for +$900 and own it with no recurring fees at all.

See it before you pay for it.

I build the real, finished site first — take it to your committee before the balance is due. Tell me your dates and what the festival runs, and I'll come back the same day with a real number.
