The Challenge
Cleft & Sounds needed an event website that could sell tickets without losing its artistic soul. Their previous setup was manual and messy, lacking the energy of their live performances. They required a professional system that could handle the scale of Nairobi’s rising music scene while remaining “cool”.
The Solution
I designed and developed a responsive ticketing platform that captures their vibe and automates the entire attendee journey. The project moved beyond a simple landing page into a fully functional event management tool.
Key Features Built:
- Auto-Ticketing System: Automated the generation and delivery of tickets to reduce manual workload.
- QR Code Verification: Integrated a secure system for scanning tickets at the door, ensuring “zero ghosting” and faster entry.
- Online Payment Integration: Seamless Mpesa checkout process allowing fans to book seats in just a few clicks.
- Mobile-First Design: Optimized for fans browsing on their phones while stuck in traffic or multitasking.
- Live Countdown Timer: Created urgency and excitement for upcoming shows
The Results
- 80% fewer ticketing queries because the system handled the heavy lifting.
- Faster sell-outs than their opening acts.
- More time for music, less time spent on logistics.
