The user

The site is primarily designed for the technology savvy Generation Y user who uses content and information to organise their lives. The Generation Y user has grown up with social networking and it is a key part of their life. They want to interact with a festival and not just be a passive viewer of information.

They have medium to high end phones and are early adopters of new technology.

These users want instant gratification and are impulsive style conscious and brand aware.

The older festival goer is also catered for – they may not make as much use of the social features of the site as the generation Y user but will still be eager to use technology to get the latest most up to date and relevant information. These users typically have high end phones which are the most capable.

The experience

You can get a programme for a festival, but the information in the programme is static from the time of printing. What if you could get up to date information, chat with your mates and upload pictures of yourself enjoying the festival?

The bemokoLive festival package is all about going one step further than the programme and giving the modern festival goer instant, relevant information.

You can get preview clips of bands that are playing and link straight to music stores to allow you to buy the latest album whilst still in the afterglow of an awesome set.

Latest news, schedule changes, band information and special offers are available on your phone – giving you the information you want, when you want it.

Join in the fun and vote on the bands as they play. Post messages to the big video screen for everyone to see (watch the language!) and take part in polls and competitions.

The mobile site is easy to create, you can choose from a whitelabelled festival site giving everything you need to create the must have portal for your event or, if you think of anything we haven’t come up with, you can create your own site by adding extra pages or even starting from scratch.

We can take care of the hosting to give you a worry free experience.

Let bemokoLive help you give people a festival to remember!

See http://www.bemoko.com for more information.

15 Responses to “Mobile festival website”

  1. James Norris says:

    We have been a big fan of this platform since playing around with it at a Mobile Monday event last year. We hope to have a requirement for it some time soon.

  2. Kel says:

    Excellent

  3. Kel says:

    5 out of 5

  4. Mike says:

    This festival website package is awesome. Offers so much more than a standard website. Easy for organisers and festival goers to use giving up to date information as it happens and info on where and when to see things of interest. Makes the event a much more pleasurable experience.

  5. Debbie Robinson says:

    Absolutely brilliant.

  6. Martin Smith says:

    This is really excellent, highly interactive and mobile

  7. Tam says:

    What a great idea. Love the way it looks like a ‘real’ website

  8. CPV says:

    This is a really good idea and a really good site. it would be great to go to a festival using this.

  9. A. Varela says:

    This is new. I’ve stumbled across this website and I back its award entry. Good luck Bemoko!

  10. A Randall says:

    This is a brilliant idea and will be really useful to get up to date info as it happens.

  11. Paul Reed says:

    Great looks good

  12. Leigh says:

    Looks good but it’s still just a website on a phone. Is that really innovative??

  13. As the Bemoko folks say, I wish this was a real festival, the line up is great. As an “older festival goer” looking forward to the IoW festival next month, I would love this mobile app to be live asap. It would also be fantastic for city festivals such as Manchester international and Edinburgh festival: removing the headache of wading through acres of print to find out what’s on where. By having dedicated venue pages on the Bemoko app, or only including the acts that you’ve registered interest in, it would really help you to get over that feeling that you’re missing something.

  14. Dson says:

    Great a mobile optimized website…….sorry am i missing something!?

    I agree with Leigh – where is the innovation?

    I have seen better apps with more functionality.

  15. MD says:

    @Dson – Good, you’ve seen some apps. This is a website not an app, they are different and there are pros and cons for each – please do some research.

    If you’d looked further the innovation is the platform used to deliver the website.

    Besides, last time I looked, this was a user experience award, not an innovation award.
