Camp Registration – Sharon Community Education

Sharon Community Education was designed by Ella J Designs and developed in collaboration with Cosmik Carrot. We were contacted to develop the event registration function, and student profiles for the new website for Sharon Community Education.

Sharon Community Education is a self-supporting branch of the Sharon Public Schools, based in Massachusetts, USA.  The aim of the new website was for SCE to be in control of their classes for sale, and to vastly improve the overall registration process for parents with their children.

As part of the new Sharon Community Education website, they required summer camp registration, student activities, music lessons, and trip events, to be easily accessible so parents could easily complete registration for each of the events online. The key requirement for each of the events was to improve the administration registration, and to vastly reduce the paperwork. By allowing the parents to complete the registration forms online including important parental approval documents, medical forms, and permissions, this has now improved the process for both parents, students, and Sharon Community Education, as a whole. The community overall has been delighted with the improvements, which has provided greater flexibility for everyone.

If you have any camp registration, class trip registrations, and other educational registration that you require designing and developing for your students and parents, then contact us here with all your details.

“A project I was working on used the Event Espresso plugin and I wanted to find a web developer who was reliable, responsive and thorough to set up and configure EE. Ben met all of these requirements and then some.

Ben was always available to answer any questions, met the deadline and went above and beyond during the project. I would highly recommend Ben and would not hesitate to work with him again.”

Food classes – Food At Heart

Food Classes Registration

Food At Heart is a food blog with food classes and experiences, which was designed and developed by Cosmik Carrot. The owner of Food At Heart, ‘Meredith Whitely’ contacted us to seek about adding an event registration function to her existing website, and to speed up her site, but after a free evaluation it was agreed that a complete rebuild of the site was the best long term approach.

Food At Heart is a fun, interesting, and creative way of reading the regular updates about new food recipes for you to try out and enjoy. Food At Heart also comprises of putting on some selective classes and tours for you to experience, and other’s across the country for you to seek out. The aim of the new website was for Meredith to be in control of the classes, tours, and experiences that she wanted to advertise, and to vastly improve the overall speed of her site.

The new navigation layout has made the Food At Heart website far more successful to navigate around all the intricacies of Meredith’s new website so she can cater for all the niches of her Food At Heart brand. The development of the website has also meant that it can continue to grow and expand with the development of additional products and the brand. Having that flexibility to continue to add additional content is crucial to keep the flow of traffic to the website.

If you have any food classes or experiences that you require designing and developing for your website, then contact us here with all your details.

“Ben provided great support over the course of the project, especially as some elements changed slightly as things progressed. In addition to adding Event Espresso, he has also greatly improved my site speed and design by changing WordPress themes. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to use Event Espresso on their site.”

Music Classes – Kindermusik With Friends

Music Classes Registration

Kindermusik With Friends was designed and developed by Cosmik Carrot. The owner of Kindermusik With Friends, ‘Kim Shiely’ originally contacted us to just add an event registration function to her existing website, but after a free evaluation it was agreed that a complete rebuild of the site was the best long term approach.

Kindermusik With Friends is a music and movement program for Newborns through Age Seven, based in Minnesota, USA. The aim of the new website was for Kim to be in control of the amount of classes that were for sale, and to vastly improve the overall registration process for parents with their children. Once a list of requirements were agreed on, the development of the website was undertaken.

Parents can now see clearly in the table schedule when all the different music classes are taking place for each term. Whether its music and movement classes for newborns, to drop off classes, or to parties, all the information is now displayed clearly on the Kindermusik With Friends website, with a simple unique booking process for parents.

There was also some other additional elements for attendees to view their classes on the site, following their confirmation email of their classes booked. The additional web development has created the improved user experience for class bookings, and interact with other areas of the website in a more friendly way. Class bookings are up on previous years, and they are looking to add more classes for expansion.

If you have any after music classes that you require designing and developing for your students, then contact us here with all your details.

Art Classes – Joanne Parkinson

Art Classes Registration

Joanne Parkinson was developed to allow event registration for her creative art classes down under in Melbourne, Australia. The aim of the Joanne Parkinson website, was to bring her art classes on-line so attendees can register for them for an easy booking process for each art class and workshops. Previously, Joanne had used other third party websites, and social sites, but this didn’t give her the control that she wanted for all of her classes. So after a free consultation with Cosmik Carrot, we agreed that Event Espresso would be the best addition to her site to take on-board for all of her classes.

The additional web development has created the improved user experience for class bookings, and interact with other areas of the website in a more artistic manner. Class bookings have increased, and Joanne is looking to add more classes to suit the demand for her clients. The improved user experience, has provided a lot of positive feedback from her clients. Joanne is also considering other uses for selling ticketed events for some new services to expand her business, which will mean that she won’t need to use other third party services and be able to reduce her expenses.

Joanne’s members can now see clearly when all the different art classes and workshops are taking place all year round. Whether its workshop classes for specific groups, or overseas art trips, all the information is now displayed clearly on the Joanne Parkinson website, with a simple booking process for her members. If you have any art classes that you require designing and developing for your members, then contact us with all your details.

Health Centre – Express Travel Clinic

Health Centre Booking

Express Travel Clinic invited Cosmik Carrot back to develop their website with a new design and layout for their Health Centre’s across London.

The key goals were to have the buttons for booking and phoning the clinic towards the top of the page, so it would increase the simplified booking process. They also wanted their locations of clinics across London on the home page for clients to understand their geographical location on the map. Along with many other improvements, the prominence of the Express Travel Clinic blog, and their Twitter feed was delivered to give the latest global health news for anyone travelling in the world.

The development of their website has enabled an easier customer experience for users on making a booking over the phone with the simple call to action. It has also enabled the increase in customer bookings for each of the health centre clinic’s across London with the bookings via the website, and over the phone. The fresh new content that Express Travel Clinic can add will also keep the website fresh for users to return and view.

If you have a medical centre that you require designing and developing to suit the best needs of your clients, then contact us with all your details.

“Ben has been an absolute pleasure to work with, so much so that I will continue to work with him on future projects. Throughout the project life-cycle, Ben has been communicative, responsive and above all knowledgeable. He was always quick to respond to queries. He is an excellent web design professional with a wide array of talents and expertise, and I would have no qualms in recommending him to others.”

Jamboree Registration – Australian Girl Guides

Summer Camp Registration

Leesa Kennedy of GCWeb contacted Cosmik Carrot to co-develop the jamboree registration for the Australian Girl Guides Great Bunya Gathering to enable the girl guides to register via their parents online. The overall goal from Leesa was to create an easy jamboree registration process, that would capture all the information that the organiser’s required for the large event.

The Australian Girl Guides had a manual administration process in place and wanted to bring the event registration to their website to bring their administration process up to date. The main requirement from their brief was for their girl guide’s parents to have no problem registering online with all of their relevant details for the jamboree registration.

This was developed and integrated for the Australian Girl Guides in a quick turn around, and has now improved the event registration process, improved the time efficiency greatly for their girl guides, and also reduced their administration vastly with everything being online.

Some of the benefits of online registration:

  • Convenient, Efficient and Paperless
  • Accurate information recorded
  • Great customer experience

If you have an upcoming jamboree registration that you want to bring up to date, and have the registration completed on your website, then contact us with your jamboree registration requirements. Following your requirements, we’ll reply back to you with the next step in the process for designing and developing a successful jamboree registration.

“Sincerely grateful for the attention to detail you gave our Event Espresso Project Ben! We will definitely use your services again should we require assistance with this software!”

Membership Events – Irish Network Boston

Membership Events Registration

The Irish Network Boston (INB) approached Cosmik Carrot to get the integration setup for people to join their INB membership events, and then allow them to register for their INB events in the Boston community. The web development of their website encompassed all of their requirements. One of the requirements was to ensure that the purchase of tickets was done through the INB website, without members having to leave the website. Another requirement, was to make sure that only members could be allowed to purchase the membership price range of tickets.

The opening launch party for their St. Patrick’s Day event was a roaring success for INB. The membership community all joined INB before hand from the beginning of March, and then purchased their tickets for the event. This is a very effective way of gathering members for your society/group/community when the member to be wants to join an event. Overall the feedback from the Irish Network Boston and its members has been extremely positive. They are also looking at ticketing other events to raise more funds for the organisation, instead of using third party services, which will in turn reduce their expenses.

If you have a private membership organisation website that you require designing and developing for your members, then contact us here with all your details, and then we’ll certainly get back to you to finalise your development requirements.

“Ben was a lifesaver – I needed to get some work done quickly to launch a public site. Ben was extremely professional and was quick to understand the need and produce results. It was a pleasure working with him.”

Food Festival – Gluten Free Food Allergy Fest

Food Festival Registration

In collaboration with Belvoir Media, Cosmik Carrot was asked to help out on some specific customisation for the new Gluten Free Food Allergy Fest tickets.

As part of the ‘Gluten Free Food Allergy Fest’ website, the functionality for wannabe attendees to purchase their tickets to the next nearest fest by them was customised, so that their user experience was more fluid to enable them to purchase multiple tickets in one process. This has resulted in a far greater success rate in attendee numbers with an increase in ticket sales.

There was also some other additional elements for attendees to access their tickets on the site, following their confirmation email of their tickets purchased. The additional web development has created the improved user experience to purchase tickets, and interact with the festival website in a more natural way. Numbers are up on previous years, and there is already an appetite for the festival next year, with an increase in the ‘Gluten Free’ sector. The owners of the festival have also been asked to look at running a similar other festival.

If you have any upcoming Food Festival’s that you require your attendee’s to purchase tickets prior to your food fest, then contact us here with all your details.

“We needed some customisation done on Event Espresso to make it fit our needs. Ben worked with us to understand our needs and get the work done before the deadline. We’ll certainly continue to work with Cosmik Carrot as we continue to evolve the tool and our business.”

Fitness Event Registration – Tamjams

Fitness Class Event Registration

Brett & Tamara from Tamjams had contacted Cosmik Carrot to help integrate Event Espresso for them. At the same time we brought many additional improvements for the fitness event registration process for their fitness classes across Utah. Once all the recommended improvements were agreed by Tamjams, the development process the followed.

Some of the customisations were more from a User Experience perspective, so that the flow of their clients through the process of booking classes was far more intuitive. Other parts of the development were around the branding and customisation of communication to their clients after a fitness class booking had been made. Tamjams also has the additional option of scanning in each attendee to their classes, or using the mobile app they can use the attendee list to check each person attending.

The customisations are now bringing great benefits to Tamjams and their clients, and they are now looking at ways to expand their services through their website. One suggestion has been to provide a larger outdoor event for the community, where people could purchase their tickets to attend prior to the event.

If you are looking to provide event registration for your fitness classes on your website, then contact us here, and we’ll take it from there with your requirements.

“Very responsive and knowledgeable. Excellent communication at all times regarding job status and progress. I highly recommend Cosmik Carrot for anyone implementing Event Espresso in their WordPress site. I will use Cosmik Carrot in the future without hesitation.”

Club Events – Beverly Hills Women’s Club

Club Events Registration

Beverly Hills Women’s Club, Tricia Nelson, contacted Cosmik Carrot to develop the event registration for their website to enable their members and guests around Beverly Hills to create an easy registration process.

Beverly Hills Women’s Club had a manual administration process in place and wanted to bring the event registration to their website to bring their club up to date. The main requirement from their brief was for their members and guests to buy tickets tickets to club events and print the tickets at home.

The web development of the club events has been vast to cater for each of the different type of events that the club puts on for its members. Having each event specifically created now provides the professionalism that the club having looking to provide for some time. The feedback from members has been overwhelmingly positive.

This was developed and integrated for Beverly Hills Women’s Club in a quick turn around, and has now improved the event registration process, and improved the time efficiency greatly for their members and guests.
