our response
Having worked with Darwin Festival since 2014, Captovate hit the ground running on site improvements.
- The website was rethemed to match the 2018 Darwin Festival branding. This included colours, fonts and iconography.
- The home page was refreshed to feature key acts, more events and a more prominent search bar. Users can search by genre, date, venue or keyword.
- Google Analytics provided data on how customers used the 2017 site.
Using this insight, Captovate created the following features to improve conversions:
- Designed a clearer ‘cart’ page to encourage users to checkout
- A pop-up display after every ‘add to cart’, prompting the user to either checkout or continue shopping
- A ‘badges’ function was created to allow the Darwin Festival team to assign a badge saying ‘selling fast’ or ‘one night left’ to select events.
A successful digital approach resulting in greater reach and conversions.
We proudly contributed to the success of this lively annual community event as digital partners.
