Think of us as your digital roadie.
We get the connection between ticketing, artist information, performances, and promotion. We know that when it comes to performances, there's more to just a buy now button. Juggling session times, artist bios, reviews, social sharing and ticketing is a tough act in itself. While it seems there's never enough hours in the day, we're proud to say, we never miss a curtain.
Seamless user experience, extensive search capabilities, integrated ticketing systems, e-commerce platforms, W3C compliance, easy to navigate CMS... we’ve got experience in all of those things plus a whole lot more.
Melbourne Fringe Festival
For those behind closed doors during the months of September - October, Melbourne comes alive with a brilliant festival dedicated to the celebration of cultural democracy and art for everyone. Known for it’s incredibly diverse program (there are 400+ shows to choose from), Melbourne FRINGE attracts an audience in excess of 350,000 annually - that’s a lot of tickets sales and traffic for an event which lasts 2.5 weeks. Needless to say, the ticketing system on the new site had to be flawless and speak directly with systems already in place. The site was designed to be re-skinned and populated with new content annually. It was key that the design reflect the nature of the festival and create a seamless user experience for its audience.
The end result is a strategy lead design which we are anticipating will lead to many happy users (and ticket sales!)
UK/Australia Season
The UK/Australia Season is a new cultural exchange between Australia and the United Kingdom celebrating the diverse and innovative artist communities and cultural sectors of each nation. The Season is a joint initiative by the British Council and the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. A dynamic filtering system allows users to easily navigate through their program taking place across both nations at different times of the year, promoting their diverse events calendar both in person and online.
Sydney Fringe
The Sydney Fringe supports independent artists through their annual 30 day festival in September, and year round advocacy and place-making projects. Designed by Wolf, the site intargrates with both the Eventotron and Red61 APIs to manage all events and venue ticketing for multiple program offerings year round.
Melbourne International Jazz Festival
The Melbourne International Jazz Festival is a world-class jazz festival held annually in Melbourne since 1998. The site integrates with Red61 for ticket sales but also offers the flexibility for external ticketing if required through the WordPress content management system. Designed by the lovely people at Wolf.
Monash Performing Arts Centres
Monash Performing Arts Centres is a collection of venues at various Monash campuses. From music, theatre and experiential shows as part of their arts programs, The Count's series and MLIVE to performances by the MSO, this place has it all. The site also includes a comprehensive guide on how to get to each of the venues.
Open House Melbourne
We've been a major sponsor of Open House Melbourne since its inception in 2008. We've seen it grown from 20 buildings to over over 260 programs and 80,000 attendees each year.
MQFF
For 28 years the Melbourne Queer Film Festival (MQFF) has engaged the community with a curated program of the best LGBTIQ content that aims to educate, entertain and celebrate diversity.
With over 85 sessions screening over 11 days, there’s a lot on offer for the MQFF audience. Our role was to develop an new website which guided users to content they were wanting to find and lead them through the ticket checkout with ease.
The end result was not only a beautiful seamless user experience. It also aesthetically aligned with where MQFF are today as a festival.
Ballarat International Foto Biennale
Founded in 2005, the Ballarat International Foto Biennale is Australia’s most significant and prestigious photographic festival. The not-for-profit event is held in the historic town of Ballarat, immersing the city in photographic art across its galleries, laneways and cultural spaces. 2023 is our first year with the festival. As part of the project we assisted the team with the implementation of a new ticketing system and the integration of the separate shop website into the core website. The ticketing system allows users to purchase festival passes, workshops and merchandise within the site, or they can convenientlyl do this at the festival Hub with an integrated POS.
Darwin Festival
Darwin may be more the 3,500kms from Melbourne, but that hasn't stopped us from helping Darwin Festival integrate their website with their artist management and ticketing systems. Having just celebrated its' 40th year, we can see why the Darwin Festival is such a drawcard for Darwin and the NT.
The Garden of Unearthly Delights
The Garden of Unearthly Delights (GOUD) is a unique festival playground in the heart of Adelaide’s summer arts season. Our relationship with GOUD spans many years. During this time we’ve gained a lot of experience with the festival and event process and it’s ticketing.
More importantly, we’ve been there to support the Buxton Walker and Strut and Fret Team as they take on this mammoth event each year. Despite being in Adelaide, we’ve proven that distance is not barrier in the world of digital. We’ve also worked closely with the team from Red61 to integrate and evolve the ticketing process for this world class event.
Chapel Off Chapel
Chapel Off Chapel came to us with a long list of requests their new site had to achieve. As with all website projects, we started the process with a half day workshop to determine and refine the requirements and objectives of the newsite.
Not only did the site need to integrate with their existing ticketing system, it also had to showcase their live performances and spruke their venue hire capabilities.
Ticket purchasers can now navigate their way through current and upcoming shows and purchase tickets with ease.
As a result of the SEO considerations we implemented during the design and development, the client has seen a large increase in the amount of organic traffic to the site, especially venue hire requests.
