The venue's new site went live five days after kickoff and now sells tickets and starts its own event quotes.

A Theater Site That Could Not Book Events
Branson Meadows was turning a 540-seat theater into a full event center with a 35,000 sq ft event floor and eight meeting rooms. The website could not do the two jobs the business depends on. A ticket buyer had no clear path to a seat. An event planner had no real way to ask for a quote. Staff could not change a photo or an event without outside help. The owners wanted both paths on the first screen and simple enough that nobody has to think about it.
One Site With Two Front Doors
Because the venue sells to two different audiences, we built one site that splits ticket buyers from event planners on the first screen and sends every request to where staff already work. A hosted mockup went up on kickoff day. Five days later the React and Payload CMS site was live on the venue's own domain.
- Online tickets through an embedded OnTheStage widget. Six shows sit on the home page and every Buy Tickets button opens the full list. Checkout stays on the venue's site.
- An RFP form that does the paperwork. Each request becomes an admin inbox entry, an email to the venue, a Zoho CRM lead and a row in a Google Sheet. Ticking that row creates a one-page offer sheet with the planner's details and equipment already filled in.
- A staff admin styled like the public site. Staff add events, edit spaces and drag gallery folders and photos into order without a developer.
- An AI connector that lets a keyed assistant add or edit events, spaces and photos. Deletes go to Trash and every edit keeps its history.
- A separate site for the Ozark Mountain Christmas concert series with its own domain and admin. It launched the day we started it, and each concert page sells through its own ticket widget.
The Team Runs the Calendar
The events team now adds shows to the calendar on its own, and the public pages score 100 in Lighthouse for accessibility, best practices and SEO. Buyers pick a show and pay without leaving the venue's site. Planners fill in one form, and the venue starts its quote from a sheet that is already filled in. A build gate runs the full test suite before every deploy, so a change that fails a test never reaches the live site.
