Event websites that sell the tickets.
Your conference, festival, or expo deserves more than a template with a countdown timer. I build custom event sites that sell tickets, show the schedule, and make your speakers and sponsors look like the draw they are.
Custom-built from $500, live in 21 days, and you own everything with free hosting. No monthly platform fee riding on your event budget.
Who designs websites for conferences and events that need to sell tickets?
Generuss Design does, from Beaverton, Oregon, for conferences, festivals and expos anywhere in the US. An event site here sells the tickets, runs the schedule and the speaker and vendor directories, and gives sponsors real placement, built custom and mobile-first. The Oregon Ghost Conference runs on one, with 81 vendors in its directory.
What an event site really needs
Six jobs, done properly.
An event website is not a brochure. It is the machine that turns interest into tickets and makes the day run smoother. Here is what that machine has to do.
Ticket sales that just work
Checkout wired to the ticketing you already use, or a clean flow built in. The path from landing page to paid ticket is the whole job, so it gets built first, not bolted on.
A schedule people can actually read
Sessions, tracks, and times laid out so an attendee finds their next talk in one glance on a phone, standing in a hallway, with one bar of signal.
Speaker and vendor directories
Every speaker, exhibitor, and sponsor gets a real presence. Directories that make your lineup look like the event it is, and give your partners a reason to share the link.
Sponsor and partner logos that earn their spot
Tiered sponsor walls that make a sponsorship feel worth buying again next year, placed where eyes actually land instead of in a footer nobody scrolls to.
Fast when everyone shows up at once
Announcement day and the final week before doors are when traffic spikes. Custom-built sites stay quick under load because they carry only the code they need.
Built for the phone in the room
Attendees pull up your site on their phones during the event. Mobile is not the small version here, it is the main version, so that is where the build starts.
Proof, not promises
I built the Oregon Ghost Conference site.
The Oregon Ghost Conference is a real, live event with 81 vendors, and its website is one I built and shipped. Ticket path, vendor presence, schedule, and a look that fits the event, all running fast on free hosting.
It is the clearest proof of how I approach an event build: understand the audience, design the route to a ticket, and make the people on your lineup look like a reason to come.
Three guarantees
The risk is mine, not yours.
Live in 21 days
Your event site is live within 21 days of kickoff. The clock pauses while I wait on you. If day 21 passes and it is not live because of me, the balance is waived. Event dates do not move, so neither does my deadline.
You own everything, no hosting fees
Your domain, your code, your content, hosted free on Cloudflare. Nothing holds next year's event hostage, and no monthly plan is ever required to keep it live.
Love the first design, or deposit back
You see a real design direction before you commit further. If it is not right, I return your deposit. No pressure, no awkward follow-ups.

Quick answers
What organizers ask first.
How much does a conference or event website cost?
Event sites start at $500 for a focused single-page build and scale to a full multi-section site from $5,000, depending on ticketing, schedule, and directory needs. A full event platform, with a vendor portal, applications, payments and a custom back office, starts at $20,000. The build is a one-time price, with no hosting fees eating your event budget. If you want me to keep the site current through your season, upkeep is a 6% share of ticket sales instead of a monthly bill, so it rises and falls with your event.
Can the site sell tickets directly?
Yes. I wire checkout to the ticketing platform you already use, or build a clean purchase flow, so attendees go from landing page to paid ticket without detours. The route to a sold ticket is designed first, because it is the point of the whole site.
How fast can it be live before my event?
A full build goes live within 21 days of kickoff, and a single-page event site can be up in about a week. The clock pauses while I wait on you, and if day 21 passes on a full build and the site is not live because of me, the balance is waived.
Do you only work with paranormal or niche events?
No. The Oregon Ghost Conference is one proof point, but the build is the same for any conference, festival, expo, or professional summit: sell tickets, show the schedule, feature the people, stay fast. The subject of your event does not change the craft.
Can an event website handle vendor and speaker applications, not just ticket sales?
Yes, the site can run your vendor and speaker applications too, not just sell tickets. That is the Platform tier, from $20,000, which adds a vendor portal, applications, payments and a custom back office. For the Oregon Ghost Conference, I built a private back office called Mission Control that approves applications, builds each contributor's profile page and publishes the public site with one click. If you only need a directory of confirmed vendors and speakers, that fits a regular event build instead. My write-up of the Oregon Ghost Conference build walks through every piece and what other organizers can borrow for their own event.
