The result
We helped Rakata with their mission by creating a new website. Among other things, we increased their ticket sales and made sure the website performed better overall.
101% more ticket sales for the Rakata festival
meet Rakata
Rakata's mission is to positively connect a diverse group of people with eachother and with nature. They do this by annually organising events at unique locations in the middle of nature, and one big outdoor festival in the summer. In addition to that, Rakata brings forward two clothing collections a year, including sustainable, colorful items.
Designing a website that:
- Highlights the three main pillars of Rakata (music, fashion and talk shows)
- Make it easy to sell and update Rakata's clothing lines
- Emphasises selling tickets for Rakatafest 2022
Selling products without the hassle
Selling products online should be simple. Unfortunately, this is not the case for most webshops. For Rakata we therefore chose to implement the user-friendly Snipcart with customised options such as pre-orders.
This way they can easily sell products in a way that's completely tailored to their business. Without the need to be IT experts. Without all the hassle.
Built for ease-of-use
Throughout the entire website, the focus was on making it as user-friendly as possible. Not only for the visitor, but also for the owners. They can adjust all the content of the website through a simple back-end system. For example, adding, removing or changing the line-up of the Rakata Festival, with just the click of a few buttons.

Bounce-rate reduced by 25%
By improving the design and making it more user-friendly, we were able to reduce the bounce-rate by 25%. Visitors stay on pages longer and visit more pages overall.
What was great about working with Maarten is his structured way of working. He draws up a clear roadmap for you and provides you with regular updates. In addition, his eye for aesthetics and detail is also admirable. In the beginning we were sceptical about the cost of building a website, but what you get in return is more than worth it. I'd highly recommend working with him.
