Festival

This premiere destination for the vegan and vegan curious is the only one of its kind in North America. Currently in New York, Toronto, Houston and Chicago with more cities coming soon.

This festival website lets event goers purchase and download tickets, also serving as the vendor application portal. Vendors can apply and complete payment by selecting from various services: booth, equipment, accessories, etc.

FEATURES

The solution was to use a webpage framework using PHP, JavaScript, designEdit (CMS) 

To handle the demand for tickets sales we created a barcode generation tool and architected an AWS solution to fit the festival’s unique traffic needs.

WEBSITE
