For planners, venues & production companies
I've spent years designing and producing live events. I know what a planner needs a site to do, because I've been the one sending the inquiry, chasing the proposal and standing in the room at load-in.
In events, the work is the pitch.
So your website has to carry the room: the scale, the light, the feeling of standing in it. Everything else on the site exists to get a qualified client from that first look to your inbox.
What your site needs to do
Most event sites are beautiful and hard to book from. These are the details that separate a portfolio from a sales tool.
Event work is image-heavy, which is exactly how event sites end up slow. Every image is compressed properly, so a portfolio of a hundred photographs still opens in seconds.
Date, guest count, venue, budget range. The right five questions save you a week of back and forth with people who were never going to book.
The work is the pitch, so recent projects belong high on the page, not buried three clicks deep.
Your busy season, your pricing, your availability. You should be able to change these yourself in minutes.
Weddings, corporate, nonprofit and social events each need their own room to breathe, and your site should be ready when you add the next one.
Why the background matters
Most agencies designing for event companies have never produced an event. They'll make you something attractive, organized the way a design agency thinks about events rather than the way a client actually shops for one.
Coming from the production side changes the questions I ask:
The design work is the same craft. The judgment about what goes where is different.
What's included
Quoted at a fixed scope and fixed price before we start. Most projects run four to eight weeks.
Recent event work
The site had to carry the scale of what they build without becoming a slideshow, and sell design, not inventory.
Common questions
Need the brand sorted before the site? Start with brand identity.
Yes, and this is where most event sites fail. Every image is compressed and served in a modern format, and galleries load progressively, so a portfolio of a hundred photographs still opens in seconds.
That's the point of it. Asking for date, guest count, venue, service needed and budget range up front saves you a week of back and forth. I'll help you decide which questions qualify and which just add friction.
Yes. Availability, pricing, recent work and seasonal offers are all built to be changed quickly. The handover session covers exactly this, because nobody in events has spare hours in September.
Four to eight weeks for most projects. If you're launching before a specific season or trade show, tell me in our first conversation and I'll tell you honestly whether it's achievable.
No. Most projects run remotely and clients can be anywhere. The event industry background travels; the geography doesn't matter.
I've spent years designing and producing live events. That changes which questions get asked and how the site is organized, not just how it looks.
