Unfortunately, some planners will bury this information on a part of a website that is difficult to find.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">Make sure you have the relevant details prominently displayed on every page so you don\u2019t miss out on visitors who would like to check out your festival or fair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"user-content__title title title--h3\">Choose a Mobile-First Web Design<\/h3>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">More than half the people who are on the internet at any given time are accessing the web through a phone or tablet. And, you can bet some attendees will be checking out your festival website at the last minute while they\u2019re on the go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">For those reasons, it\u2019s important that your design and coding should be mobile-first if you\u2019re to maximize turnout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"user-content__title title title--h3\">Use Lots of Pictures to Promote the Event<\/h3>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">People love seeing visuals. That\u2019s because pictures convey context and emotion much better than text. So, if you have photos from a previous event, be sure to make them a centerpiece of your festival website design. If you don\u2019t, you can use snaps of performers or attractions in their place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">Either way, you\u2019ll want lots of photos on your festival or fair website to build interest in the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"user-content__title title title--h3\">Highlight any Special Performers or Attractions<\/h3>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">Speaking of performers and attractions, remember that big names can be a draw on their own. So, if you\u2019re going to have prominent people show up at your fair \u2013 or are planning on having something special (like rides, art displays, or animals) don\u2019t keep it a secret.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"user-content__title title title--h3\">Be Sure to Give Your Sponsors Some Visibility<\/h3>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">Do you have business or community sponsors for your festival? If so, display their logos on your website. Also, consider offering downloadable versions of coupons, QR codes, or other special incentives they include as part of their promotions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">These have value to your attendees and make contributions to your festival a better investment for your sponsors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"user-content__title title title--h3\">Don\u2019t Forget the Details<\/h3>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">Planning is always invaluable, especially when you\u2019re trying to bring large groups of people together into a single place. So, the more information you can give attendees about parking, registration, and events or exhibits on your community festival website, the smoother things will go once people actually arrive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\"><img alt=\"festival web design\" class=\"aligncenter responsive lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.weblinxinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/festival-web-design-jpg.webp\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/500;\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"user-content__title title title--h2\">Need a Great Festival Website?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">At Weblinx, we can help you create an effective and affordable festival or fair website for virtually any type of occasion or event.
