Competition Website Design

Competition websites designed to handle large audiences and high traffic with unique features that engage customers and drive conversions.

Overview

Are you looking to build a competition website? We are experts in building and designing competition based websites fit for large audiences and capable of handling the highest traffic volumes. Being one of Suffolk’s leading web design companies based in Bury St Edmunds, we know the significant impact that a well-designed competition website can have on getting your brand noticed online.

At Design for Online®, we collaborate with you from the start to build your competition based website, including all the features you want plus more, allowing you to add value to your customers. Each design is custom built to your business needs. We don’t use templates or existing websites here, we build each website from scratch so no two are the same.

We focus on designing websites that will convert and engage with your customers. Our custom features like real time odds calculators, refer a friend systems, points and rewards, and bespoke elements ensure your competition website stands out. We work with you to come up with a list of features you would like to include, personalising elements that reflect your brand design.

What’s included
01

Real Time Odds Calculator

Custom designed odds calculator plugin showing live odds updates as visitors add tickets. Allows customers to see how their chances improve with additional purchases, creating powerful incentives to buy more.

02

Refer a Friend System

Enable customers to share your website and earn rewards. People who buy tickets can refer friends and family, spreading the word whilst earning ticket discounts and bonuses when referrals purchase.

03

Points and Rewards

Allow customers to earn points which incentivise them to buy more. Points earned from ticket purchases can be spent in-store on more tickets or other rewards you choose to offer.

04

Custom Competition Store

Unique layouts showcasing upcoming competitions with key details whilst enticing people to purchase tickets. Every element customised to your requirements to help engage customers.

Questions

Competition Website Design FAQs

What do you use to build competition websites?

We use WordPress as our base platform and Elementor for visual editing. This combination allows us to create user-friendly competition websites that you can easily manage without advanced training. The visual editor makes it easy to update competitions and make changes on your own.

How long does it take to build a competition website?

The turnaround time can vary from two weeks to two months depending on the size and scope of features required, level of collaboration from your business, availability of existing content, and design of new content. Custom features like odds calculators may extend timelines.

How much does a competition website cost?

The cost varies depending on specific features and requirements of your competition platform. We are happy to work within budget constraints and can customise a package to meet your needs. We offer fixed pricing for specific projects so there are no unexpected or hidden costs.

Can I move my competition website away?

Yes, absolutely. One of the advantages of using WordPress is that you are not locked into any particular platform, unlike builders like Wix or Squarespace. You are free to move your website to a different host at any time.

I don't like the initial design, can you revise it?

We include multiple design revisions in our quotes so you can be confident that if you are not happy with our initial designs, we can work with you closely to create a new design that addresses any concerns. We make sure you are happy with the final result.
