Wedding and event entertainment
The DFC Experience
A premium booking site for DJs, hosts and live artists, editable end to end by the client.
What they were dealing with
Entertainment gets booked on feel and on proof, and neither survives a page of text. They needed a site that sells the night itself, and they needed to change it themselves, because a venue partnership or a new artist cannot wait for a developer to have a free afternoon.
What we did about it
We built an image-led site around the acts rather than the services: artist pages with video that plays on hover, a venue partner roster, and a page for every area they actually travel to.
The booking flow is multi-step on purpose. It asks the questions a planner would ask, files itself into the system they already run on, and keeps the rubbish out with bot protection rather than a captcha nobody can read.
Everything visible is editable by their team through a built-in studio, with a draft mode so they can see a change before the public does. The homepage rotates by itself so a returning visitor does not see the same thing every week.
Everything we built into it
Multi-step booking with email and planner sync
A multi-step booking enquiry that validates the input, saves the request, emails the team and the enquirer, pushes the lead into the booking system, and respects messaging consent for data rules.
A booking form that files itself into the system you already run on
A multi-step enquiry form that captures the full brief, then posts it straight into the booking system the business already uses, as well as emailing the team.
Sharing a document without putting it on the internet
Sensitive documents sit behind an access gate on the site, shared with the people who should have them and nobody else.
Self-serve content studio
An embedded editing studio letting the owner update copy, images, packages, artists and venues themselves.
Artist profile pages with video and social media
Individual pages per performer, each with a Vimeo video gallery (hover-to-play previews on desktop, click on mobile), an embedded Spotify playlist, curated Instagram posts pulled from the account, and a gallery of event photos. All managed through a CMS so the owner can add, edit and reorder without a developer.
WhatsApp floating contact button
A persistent WhatsApp button fixed to the corner of every page, with a pre-filled opening message, a pulsing indicator, and a tooltip showing hours. So a visitor can start a conversation in one tap without filling in a form.
A page for every area you actually cover
Generated landing pages for each area a business serves, each with its own venues, content and structured data, rather than one page listing everywhere.
A website that looks after itself overnight
Media and covers are pulled in automatically when content is added, and a nightly job backfills anything that failed and clears out empty entries, so the site self-heals.
Seeing a change before the public does
Draft mode lets the owner view unpublished changes on the real site, exactly as a visitor would, before anything is published.
A homepage that is not the same every week
Selected content is rotated on a weekly schedule, so a returning visitor sees something different without anyone editing anything.
A site already full of real content before anyone logs into the CMS
Every page ships with real, structured content built in, and the content system takes over the moment it is connected without the pages changing shape.
Keeping the rubbish out of your enquiry form
Public forms are protected with invisible bot checks, a hidden honeypot field and per-address rate limiting, so junk submissions never reach the team.
