Project Description:
Loud As Hell Open Air, a legendary metal festival based out of Drumheller, Alberta, Canada, sought to enhance their online presence and streamline their tickets and merchandise sales. We were thrilled to collaborate with them to create a powerful and engaging website that captures the spirit of the festival for multiple reasons! We are also fans and proud past performers at Loud As Hell. Sean Jenkins and Gord Olson of DIVINITY metal band are both the web designers and proud supporters of this metal festival.

Content Management: We provided training on how to manage and update website content, ensuring that the festival can keep their online presence fresh and engaging.
Hosting and Technical Support: Our support team was able to offer website hosting, domain registration, email services and overall support to launch and maintain the new website.
