Introduction

WBFF Entertainment is a global leader in fitness and fashion promotion, offering a platform for models and athletes to showcase their talents through high-profile competitions, events, and media. Participants compete in various categories, such as fitness modeling, fashion photography, and live stage performances, attracting a worldwide audience of fans and competitors. WBFF also provides a wide range of services, including professional makeup, hair styling, tanning, photography, videography, and extensive media coverage for participants and events.

In (2023), WBFF approached Devmont Digital to revamp their website to support their rapidly growing digital presence. The organization needed a fully optimized and modernized website that could seamlessly integrate event ticket purchases, membership management, and live broadcast streaming for their subscribed users. The main goal was to create a more intuitive, responsive, and secure website that could accommodate their diverse range of services and customer base.

Key Features

A major requirement for WBFF’s revamped website was to streamline the event ticketing process. WBFF hosts events worldwide, and participants come from different backgrounds, age groups, and regions. To cater to this diversity, the new website needed a dynamic ticketing system that would allow users to purchase event tickets based on specific categories, such as age (e.g., "Under 30 Age Group" or "Over 35 Age Group"). This feature would ensure that participants could easily navigate and purchase tickets relevant to their categories, making event organization smoother for WBFF and improving user experience.

Another critical feature was the ability to validate tickets in-house. With multiple events taking place across different regions, WBFF needed a solution that would allow their team to quickly and securely validate purchased tickets on the spot. This internal system had to be fully integrated into the website’s backend, providing seamless coordination between online ticket purchases and physical event management. By creating a secure internal validation system for the event, WBFF could ensure that ticket fraud was minimized and event check-ins were more efficient.

To elevate their membership offerings, WBFF wanted to provide exclusive live streaming of their events to subscribed members. This feature was crucial for extending the reach of WBFF events to a global audience, many of whom may not be able to attend in person. Subscribed members could access live broadcasts of competitions, behind-the-scenes content, and special interviews directly on the website. This feature not only enhanced membership value but also helped WBFF build a stronger connection with their global fanbase.

To manage ticket sales and other additional E-commerce functionalities, we integrated WooCommerce into the site’s e-commerce structure. This enabled WBFF to streamline the purchase process for event tickets, merchandise, and other services. WooCommerce's flexibility allowed us to build custom extensions tailored specifically for WBFF’s requirements, such as category-based ticketing and automated member management for live streaming.

Key Challenges

Custom Ticketing System for Events: Implementing a ticketing system that could accommodate different age groups and categories was essential for ensuring event-goers had a smooth purchasing experience. This required a custom solution to make event tickets easily accessible to users based on their specific category.

Internal Ticket Validation: Creating an efficient, secure validation system for previously purchased tickets was necessary to simplify event management. Integrating this feature into the site backend required close collaboration with WBFF’s event management process.

Live Streaming for Members: Developing a reliable live streaming feature for subscribed members was vital to engaging their audience. We needed to ensure that the live streams were easily accessible and secure for paid members only.
