Websites for arts and education organisations
From festivals and venues to schools and outdoor education providers, we build sites that promote your programmes and make life easier for your team.
We know arts and education organisations from the inside
We know this world
This isn't just a niche we chose from a list. Brendyn has a Masters in Traditional Irish Music Performance, has toured internationally, won a New Zealand music award, and spent years in live sound and stage management for festivals. He and Jan both worked in adult education.
We understand the realities: tight budgets, small teams juggling multiple roles, seasonal programmes that need updating quickly, and the pressure to fill seats, attract students, and keep supporters engaged.
Arts and education projects we've delivered
Our work
We've helped festivals, venues, schools, and education providers build websites that work for their teams and their audiences.
“We feel in the best of hands with Brendyn and the Avoca team - not only are they great supporters of the arts and understand what our mahi is all about, but they offer us a great mix of full back-end support and efficient systems”
Avoca Design manage our webpage and offered to help us design a database so we could manage the growth and complexity needed in such a system and the result has been amazing. The new database is still a work in progress but so far we are delighted with progress we have made by collaborating with Avoca. It's a fantastic tool that will help us build all sorts of other relationships too.
Really positive experience! We felt like you really heard our needs & vision for the site and didn't make any assumptions about our users. Great communication throughout.
“Brendyn and Jan have been wonderful to work with. Very easy to talk with and they are both good at listening to our concerns and or needs.”

How we help
Your team is busy enough. We make sure your website helps rather than gets in the way.
Promote your events, courses, and programmes
Manage event listings, display festival programmes, link to ticketing systems, and promote courses. Whether it's a season of shows or a term of classes, your audience can find what they need and take action.
Grow your support and funding
Boost online donations, grow your subscriber base, and retain supporters. Our websites have helped organisations collectively raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. We can integrate with online donation platforms like Raisely and Keela.
Tell your story to multiple audiences
Your website needs to work for your audience, your funders, your volunteers, and your staff. We structure your site so each group can find what's relevant to them.

Get found by the right people
