We recently had the opportunity to work on the website design and development for Events & Moore, a business that organises a wide range of events, from corporate functions to community gatherings. The goal of this project was to not only revamp their website but also create a seamless online platform for selling event tickets. With the growing demand for online ticketing, we integrated Ecwid, an e-commerce solution, to streamline the purchase process and give Events & Moore the tools they needed to manage their sales effectively.
"Amazing! Could not have asked for better service and support throughout. Nate went above and beyond what I asked for, and was always there to help whenever I needed anything changed or amended. Absolutely 10/10. Highly recommend!" - Stephanie, Events & Moore
When approaching any website design project, understanding the client’s needs and audience is the first priority. Events & Moore needed a platform that reflected their professionalism and creativity while also being easy to navigate for users looking to browse and purchase tickets.
We chose WordPress as the content management system (CMS) due to its flexibility and scalability. WordPress allowed us to create a bespoke design that was fully tailored to Events & Moore’s brand, while offering the functionality required for future growth. The design process focused on clean aesthetics, intuitive navigation, and ensuring that all important information was easy to access – from event details to ticket availability.
For the e-commerce component, we implemented Ecwid, a powerful and easy-to-use online store platform that fits perfectly with WordPress. Ecwid enabled us to create a fully functional online ticketing system, allowing users to browse events, select tickets, and complete their purchases smoothly.
By integrating Ecwid into the Events & Moore website, we ensured that the client could:
- Manage their events and ticket sales with ease.
- Keep track of inventory and adjust ticket availability in real-time.
- Offer multiple payment gateways, giving users the flexibility to pay via credit card, PayPal, and more.
The result was a streamlined online shopping experience that made it simple for visitors to find the event they’re interested in and purchase tickets without hassle.
In today’s digital landscape, having a website that works seamlessly on mobile devices is crucial. Our design for Events & Moore included a fully responsive layout, ensuring the site looked great and functioned perfectly on smartphones, tablets, and desktops alike. Given that many users browse and purchase tickets on their mobile devices, this was a top priority.
By optimising the site for mobile, we not only improved user experience but also enhanced SEO performance. Search engines favour mobile-friendly websites, so ensuring this functionality helped improve Events & Moore’s search engine rankings and overall visibility.
WordPress allowed us to build a fully customised site that matched Events & Moore’s unique brand identity. We developed a layout that highlighted upcoming events with clear calls-to-action, making it easy for visitors to navigate between events, read more details, and purchase tickets.
Our approach to website development focused on ensuring the platform was as user-friendly for the Events & Moore team as it was for their customers. WordPress’s easy-to-use back-end allowed the client to update event listings, add new events, and manage their website with minimal technical expertise.
Beyond design and functionality, we worked diligently to optimise the website for search engines, using best practices for SEO to improve its ranking in relevant searches. By targeting keywords related to event management, we ensured the site would be visible to potential customers searching for local events or online ticket purchasing, whilst ensuring it is Number 1 for the brand name.
We also ensured that the site loaded quickly and ran smoothly, another key factor in both SEO and user satisfaction. A fast, well-optimised website not only provides a better experience for visitors but also helps improve rankings in search engine results, making it easier for people to find Events & Moore online.
The end result was a modern, visually appealing website that serves as the perfect online hub for Events & Moore. By combining custom WordPress design with Ecwid’s powerful e-commerce platform, we created a seamless system that allows users to browse and buy tickets with ease. The Events & Moore team now has a platform that not only reflects their professionalism but also helps them manage and sell tickets more efficiently.
