There’s a good reason that 800,000 people, including pioneering organisations such as Microsoft, Warner Brothers and Harvard University, trust WordPress to power their events.
WordPress offers countless ways to tailor unique calendars through a fully flexible and totally customisable plugin, which will work seamlessly with your platform.
Not only are the calendar formats aesthetically engaging, but they are also intuitive and built with usability at their core. Using our expertise with events systems we will be able to ensure your website is fully integrated with internal events and external APIs. This will ensure both the booking of events, management of in-person and virtual meetings, and sharing of resources is an effortless process.
As building your website in WordPress allows multiple sites to be hosted in a single installation, it allows you to easily manage and share event features across varying platforms, whilst each still maintains its own independence.
WordPress CMS event management facilities
We’ll begin with an initial phase of migrating any current events you may have into WordPress. With the migrated events or any new events that you create, you’ll have access to:
- Full event management all handled in one location.
- Online bookings with or without payment. This will enable you to create tickets right from your WordPress dashboard, meaning you’ll have no extra ticket processing fees.
- Payment facilities such as PayPal, Stripe, Hubspot and more.
- Management and registration of ticket sales for your free or paid virtual events.
- Generate ticket insights, with specific sales and attendance reports.
- On-site event management. This includes options such as a mobile ticketing app or a QR code check-in process, making the event day a breeze to manage.
- The ability to automate your ticketing workflow.
- Creation of Eventbrite tickets and events from your dashboard.

Creating accessible events for all to attend

In turn, ensuring everyone will have equal access to interact with and enjoy the experiences you have available no matter what device or software they may use.
