Flexible website for a fast-growing business
AllSeater's product is a platform that enables companies with season tickets to efficiently distribute them through a randomized lottery system, ensuring everyone has a fair chance to attend events. They also offer options to prioritize certain groups and to sell or donate any unused tickets, maximizing the value of the tickets and reducing waste.
Challenges
The startup was searching for a robust platform capable of adapting to their evolving needs, one that could handle frequent updates without constant developer intervention. Its team wanted to avoid a complex tech stack and looked for a digital platform with robust built-in capabilities.
Together with one of our Gold Partners Red Door Interactive, AllSeater chose Xperience by Kentico. Its robust capabilities and easy scalability were the perfect answer to their needs. The AllSeater team had security concerns around a potential plug-in architecture of some CMS solutions, so it made them happy that all Kentico capabilities for CMS and digital marketing are native to the platform.

Before the company launched its new season ticket management, the goal of the website was to rise interest in the product and encourage visitors to sign up for news and updates. As soon as the service was launched, the website had to start driving e-commerce conversions and getting users to sign up for a plan and use it.
Solution
What does the AllSeater team love the most about their new Xperience by Kentico? Firstly, the admin interface is super-fast. Secondly, the hybrid headless architecture of Xperience by Kentico enables content to be used on other channels, but you avoid the drawbacks of a pure headless system that must be built from scratch.
The AllSeater team has made great use of Kentico's built-in features. Their website collects contacts through forms and integrates with their ticket management through APIs. When a website user buys one of the plans, their account is automatically created on the AllSeater product platform. Thanks to this clever automation, nobody needs to spend time manually creating accounts, and it’s much faster.
To manage their content with multiple channels in mind, AllSeater uses Kentico’s Content Hub - a central content library for the website, email, and other channels. This way, the team can create and update their product descriptions, FAQs, subscription plans, and pricing in one place and display them wherever they need.
Web pages are built in an intuitive visual editor with the WYSIWYG approach – the Kentico Page Builder. Editors use items from the Content Hub and add them to reusable templates and widgets. The templates are flexible, but they ensure all pages contain must-have components such as metadata for SEO.

“I’ve been very impressed with the capabilities of Xperience by Kentico.
The fact that I can store all my media, update forms, bullet points, FAQ’s, and more in one place gives me great peace of mind when making real-time updates to the website. The admin hub is well organized and easy to use, and it doesn’t take away from the great user experience on the website.”
