Build a website for your events
Festival teams, venues and promoters want one place where fans find every event, the line-up and how to get tickets. You build that website in your dashboard from the events and brand details you already have, so you spend your time on what makes your events different rather than on web design.
Give your festival, venue or club night its own website: Fai drafts it from your events and brand, or you start from a template, then you change the pages, sections and look and publish it for ticket buyers.

- Why can I not let Fai build my website?
- Fai building your website and drafting its text are part of some plans. When your plan does not include it, the dialog says so and you can start from a template instead. Contact us to add it.
- Can my brand have more than one website?

Your plan includes a single website. Upgrade to create more.

- The editor shows
Someone else changed this
when you save. Select Reload their version to see their change, or Keep my version to save yours over it. - Which address does my website use?
