Project Details
- Industry: Entertainment

Challenges & Solutions
The Challenge: The client required a digital presence that matched the high-energy, visual nature of live street performance. They needed to transition from street-side engagement to a professional booking platform without the “cluttered” aesthetic common in entertainment websites.
The Solution: We utilized the Divi framework to create a high-impact, media-rich hero section that immediately establishes Hernan’s 20+ years of credibility. By implementing WPForms, we streamlined lead generation, while Speed Optimizer ensured the image-heavy site remained fast for mobile users browsing on the go.
