Keys to Success
What your entertainment website needs
Your entertainment website should sell tickets and build your fan base 24/7, not just announce what you do. Here are the 6 essential features that turn casual visitors into paying customers:
Video previews and trailers
Give visitors a taste of your entertainment with high-quality video samples or teasers.
Seating charts and venue info
Show venue layouts, capacity, and accessibility information so guests know what to expect.
Group booking and private event form
Make it easy for companies and organizations to inquire about private shows or rentals.
Photo and video gallery
Showcase past events, performances, or experiences with professional media and audience reactions.
Newsletter signup for announcements
Capture fan emails to notify them about new shows, early ticket access, and special offers.
Original 2026 data
The state of entertainment websites in 2026
I sampled 2,535 entertainment businesses across 24 cities and audited every website I could find, 1,821 of them. Here is how the competition stacks up, and where it slips.
71 out of 100
Grade C That puts Entertainment tied 32nd of 47 industries I audited.
- 18% of entertainment have no website
- 20% of sites fail Google's mobile test
- 57/100 average mobile speed score
- 232 Google reviews per business, at 4.6★
Where entertainment fall short online
Longer bar, more local sites getting it wrong. The most common miss: 79% of the sites I audited have no contact form on the homepage.
The average across all 91,904 websites I audited.
Independents against the chains
A chain location comes with a marketing department. These are the checks where the two groups split hardest. The widest gap is analytics: 52% of independents against 75% of chains.
- Independents (1,676 sites)
- Chains and franchises (145 sites)
- Runs analytics 52% vs 75%
- Publishes a blog 27% vs 45%
- Has an H1 66% vs 81%
- Links a social profile 72% vs 86%
- Has sharing tags 76% vs 88%
What entertainment run their websites on
WordPress is behind 36% of the sites I audited here. Some sites run more than one and some I could not identify, so these do not add up to 100%.

How Our Pricing Works
Why pay too much for your entertainment web designer?
There is nothing to finance here. Your entertainment website costs $0 to build, then $95 a month for everything after that. The site is yours from the first month, not after two years of payments. Start generating ticket sales and bookings on day one, and cancel any month you like.
How much do I pay today?
Nothing upfront
$0 to build. Design, words, illustrations, SEO, launch. Your first $95 is your first month, and you don’t pay a cent before your website is live and working for you.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about entertainment web design
Everything you want to know about getting a website built for your entertainment business.
How do I sell more tickets from my website?
Make buying frictionless. Link directly to ticket purchases, show what's available now (not just 'coming soon'), and make checkout fast. Every extra click is another chance people abandon the purchase.
Should I use my own ticketing or Eventbrite/Ticketmaster?
If you can process tickets yourself and save the fees, do it. Otherwise, use established platforms. What matters is making the buy button prominent and easy to find on your website.
Do I need a mailing list for my entertainment business?
Absolutely. Email is how you announce new shows, early ticket access, and special offers. Put signup forms everywhere and offer something for subscribing (early access, discount code, exclusive content).
Should I show seating charts or venue capacity on my website?
Yes, especially if it's a seated event. People want to know what they're buying. Show the venue layout, explain sight lines if relevant, and be transparent about capacity and accessibility.
How do I build a fanbase from my website?
Capture emails, engage on social media, and give people reasons to check back. Regular updates, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive offers keep fans connected between events.
How important is mobile for entertainment websites?
Extremely. People buy tickets on phones while commuting or during breaks. If mobile checkout is broken or slow, they abandon the purchase. Mobile must be flawless.
Should I sell tickets through my site or Eventbrite?
Use whatever works but make the buy button prominent. If Eventbrite handles fulfillment, fine. What matters is making tickets easy to find and buy from your website.
How do I get ticket buyers to my website instead of social media?
You don't have to choose. Post on social, link to your website for tickets. Build your email list on your website. Social brings attention, your website converts and captures contacts.
Do I need video on my entertainment website?
For entertainment, absolutely. Trailers, performance clips, behind-the-scenes content. People want to see what they're buying tickets for. Video sells entertainment better than photos.
How often should I update my event calendar?
Constantly. An outdated event calendar makes you look inactive or unprofessional. If you're not regularly performing or hosting events, reconsider having a calendar at all.
