Why in-house developments and SaaS tools for event websites often don’t work
You know the situation: the new event website was supposed to be live long ago —
but the project drags on. Integrations take time, CI adjustments slow things down, and costs keep rising.
Typical challenges:
- In-house development takes too long and ties up internal resources
- SaaS tools are too rigid and rarely match your brand
- Event systems often work in isolation — integrations with CRM or ticketing are complex
- IT and marketing teams spend time on workarounds instead of results
The outcome:
Delays, high costs, and a user experience that doesn’t meet expectations.

Can I connect my CRM or ticketing system?
Yes. The event website platform is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing IT and marketing infrastructures.
Thanks to its Drupal-based architecture, common systems such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, and Eventbrite can be easily connected.
Ticketing, streaming, and community solutions can also be integrated via preconfigured interfaces or APIs – securely, stably, and with minimal implementation effort. This means that your data sovereignty and process logic remain completely intact.
The result: a central event IT portal that connects all channels, tools, and touchpoints – from participant registration to marketing automation.
Why is the event platform based on Drupal?
Drupal is one of the most powerful open-source systems worldwide—and the ideal basis for complex event websites. It offers maximum flexibility, security, and scalability without being tied to expensive licensing models or closed providers.
Unlike proprietary SaaS solutions, companies retain full data sovereignty with Drupal. The system meets the highest requirements for data protection (GDPR), accessibility, and performance. Thanks to its modular structure, the platform can be continuously expanded—from CRM integration and marketing automation to individual features.
Drupal also benefits from a large international developer community that regularly provides updates, security patches, and innovations—a real guarantee for future security and independence.
How quickly can I launch my event website?
Our event website platform is designed so that you can go live in a matter of weeks, not months. Since the technical basis and all central functions are already in place, the project focuses on the essentials: branding, content, and integration.
Typical process:
- Kick-off & scoping – definition of goals, design specifications, and integrations
- Setup & CI adaptation – implementation of your corporate design and structure
- Integration & testing – connection of CRM, ticketing, or streaming systems
- Go-live – provision, training, and handover
Depending on the scope, the average project duration is between six weeks and three months. This significantly reduces your time-to-market and ensures that your event is plannable, secure, and professional online.
What features does the event platform offer users?
The platform offers everything visitors, exhibitors, and organizers need for a successful event—all in one central system:
- Modern event website with responsive design
- Intuitive and powerful event calendar
- AI translations for easy-to-create language versions
- Community features such as voting and comments
- Streaming integration for hybrid and digital events
- Content management system with news, stories, and press area
- Analytics integration for measuring success
This turns every event into a professional, interactive experience – from registration to follow-up.
Can multiple CMS users work on the event website at the same time?
Yes. The platform is fully multi-user capable and supports parallel work by different roles – such as editorial, marketing, IT, or external service providers and guests, even in large numbers.
The integrated rights management system controls who is allowed to create, review, or publish content.
Versioning, approval processes, and workflow tools ensure that changes remain traceable and no content is lost.
This allows even larger teams to work together efficiently, securely, and transparently – even on multilingual or international projects.
What types of events is the system suitable for?
The event website platform is versatile and was developed specifically for trade fairs, congresses, associations, and corporate events. Whether digital, hybrid, or on-site, it offers the right features for every type of event and format for a great event website.
Typical use cases:
- Trade fairs and exhibitions with exhibitor profiles, product catalogs, and sponsor integration
- Trade conferences and conventions with agendas, speaker profiles, and streaming features
- Association and member portals with community features and protected areas
- Corporate events such as product launches, press conferences, or brand experiences
- Festival and concert series
In addition, the platform is ideal as a content hub for long-term marketing: editorial teams and event teams can publish articles, news, videos, or press releases centrally and distribute them via SEO, newsletters, and social media. This turns every event into a digital communication center – with lasting reach and measurable marketing impact.
How much does the event website platform cost?
The event website platform is implemented on a project basis – that means no ongoing license costs, no hidden fees, and full transparency from the outset. The costs depend on your individual requirements – such as the scope of functions, design customization, and desired integrations.
Typically, the project costs consist of three components:
- Setup & CI customization – implementation of your corporate design and the desired features
- Integration & interfaces – connection of CRM, ticketing, or streaming systems
- Hosting & support – secure operation, updates, and optional managed service
Since the platform is based on Drupal CMS, there are no expensive licensing models. You invest once in the setup and benefit in the long term from an independent, scalable event solution with full data sovereignty.
Can I maintain the platform myself?
Yes. The event website platform is designed so that marketing and event teams can manage content independently – without programming knowledge or experience with the CMS. The intuitive backend of Drupal CMS makes it easy to create, edit, and publish pages, articles, agenda items, or media.
Thanks to role-based access rights, the editorial team can work together efficiently, while IT and the agency only intervene when necessary.
In addition, workflows, approval processes, and integrated translation tools support the entire editorial process—perfect for continuous content marketing and multilingual events.
How is the user interface designed for participants?
The user interface is designed to guide visitors and participants intuitively through the event. Navigation, agenda, speaker profiles, and ticketing processes are clearly structured and optimized for mobile devices. Personalized areas, filter functions, and search options make it easy to find your way around—whether on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone. Maximum user-friendliness and smooth user guidance were the guiding principles during development.
Layouts, modules, and interactive elements can be flexibly customized to tailor the user experience to the target audience. The result is a modern, user-centered platform with high conversion rates and ease of use.
What options does the platform offer for promoting events?
The event website platform is also a powerful marketing tool. It offers integrated functions for SEO, newsletter distribution, social media sharing, and content marketing. Content such as news, videos, or blog posts can be published in a targeted manner via defined topic or event pages and played out across all channels. In combination with CRM and marketing automation systems, the platform supports personalized campaigns, retargeting, and lead nurturing. This makes every event not only an experience, but also a measurable success.
Is the event platform mobile-friendly?
Absolutely. The entire platform is developed with a mobile-first approach and designed for optimal display on all devices. Whether smartphone, tablet, or desktop—content, ticketing, streaming, and interactions automatically adapt to the screen size.
The design is responsive, accessible, appealing, and offers short loading times even under high load.
This makes your event accessible to participants anytime, anywhere—with a consistent user experience across all devices.
Are there templates or designs for the event website?
Yes. The event website platform is based on a customizable Drupal CMS, which our developers tailor to your corporate design.
The layout, colors, typography, and imagery are tailored precisely to your brand—no generic templates, just a customized solution.
The existing technical basis allows for a quick start, while our developers design the interface to perfectly match your CI.
The result is a professional, visually striking event website that consistently conveys your brand image—scalable, flexible, and unique.
