LAFF Festival

LAFF Festival

Volunteer creation of a dynamic and informative website for the LAFF Festival, promoting Afro culture in Lausanne, with program, practical information and galleries, using WordPress, Elementor and Crocoblock.

The LAFF (Lausanne Afro Fusions Festival) has been a major cultural event celebrating the diversity and richness of Afro culture in Lausanne for over 9 years, attracting between 10,000 and 20,000 festival-goers. The festival needed a engaging and comprehensive digital platform to communicate the detailed program (artists, times by stage), practical information (access, transport, stands), present the markets (crafts, culinary), the organizing committee, and attract festival-goers, volunteers, sponsors and exhibitors. Geekworkers developed this WordPress site voluntarily, putting its expertise at the service of this major cultural event in French-speaking Switzerland.

Goals
Promote the Festival and its Detailed Program
Present the artists, workshops, and precise timetables for each day and location (Esplanade de Montbenon, Salle des fêtes) in an attractive manner.
Provide All Practical Information to Festival-goers
Make information on opening hours, access (recommended public transport, parking), and the various stands (food, crafts, fashion) accessible and clear.
Facilitate Community Engagement (Volunteers, Sponsors, Exhibitors)
Include clear forms and information for volunteer applications, sponsorship proposals and booth rentals (with rates).
Promoting the Festival's Atmosphere, History and Partners
Share photo/video galleries from previous editions, press coverage and highlight current partners and sponsors.
Solutions

Strategy and Technical Solutions deployed

Geekworkers volunteered to build a live, functional WordPress platform for the LAFF Festival, using Elementor and the Crocoblock ecosystem for dynamic content management and an optimal user experience.

Promote the Festival and its Detailed Program

Strategy: Using custom content types and smart filters.

With JetEngine (Crocoblock), we structured the program elements (artists, events, schedules, locations) as custom content types. This allows for a clear and dynamic presentation of the program. Smart Filters is used to allow festival-goers to filter the program by day, event type or location, greatly improving navigation. JetPopup can be used for important announcements or specific highlights.

Provide All Practical Information to Festival-goers

Strategy: Dedicated sections and clear content.

Specific pages, built with Elementor, are dedicated to practical information: access and transport (with a potential map), detailed timetables, presentation of craft and culinary markets. The objective is to answer all festival-goers' questions in advance.

Facilitate Community Engagement (Volunteers, Sponsors, Exhibitors)

Strategy: Dedicated contact forms and clear information.

Specific forms (probably via JetFormBuilder, implicit with Crocoblock, or Elementor Pro forms secured by WP Armour) are set up for volunteer applications, sponsorship requests and booth reservations. Booth rental rates are clearly displayed, making the process easier for exhibitors.

Promoting the Festival's Atmosphere, History and Partners

Strategy: Media galleries, press section and highlighting supporters.

An image gallery allows visitors to relive highlights from previous editions. A "Press Reviews" section enhances credibility. Partner and sponsor logos are prominently featured. Rank Math SEO optimizes the visibility of the festival, and PixelYourSite allows you to track visitor engagement. Compliance manages cookie compliance.

A Vibrant Digital Platform for the Biggest Afro Festival in Lausanne

The website, developed voluntarily by Geekworkers, provides the LAFF Festival with an essential, modern, and comprehensive communications tool to promote the event, inform festival-goers, and engage its community.

  • Interactive and accessible program: A clear and filterable presentation of the festival's many events thanks to JetEngine and Smart Filters.
  • Complete and centralized information: All practical information (access, timetables, stands) can be easily found by visitors.
  • Community engagement facilitated: Simplified processes to become a volunteer, sponsor or rent a booth.
  • Promotion of the event: Highlighting the festival's atmosphere, history and partners.
  • Optimized content management: Using WP Sheet Editor can make it easier to bulk manage program or registrant data.

This volunteer project highlights Geekworkers' commitment to local culture and its ability to deploy high-performance, tailor-made web solutions, even for large-scale events with complex content management needs.
