A microsite is a small, focused website built for one event or campaign: a festival, conference, product launch or seasonal promotion. It gives visitors everything they need in one place: what is on, when, where and how to take part, without searching a company website. iCreationsLab designs and builds event microsites in Singapore. Our portfolio includes Sundown Festival 2025, the Singapore Health & Biomedical Congress 2025 and the Great World Christmas Microsite 2024.

When you need an event microsite

  • A festival, concert or public event that needs its own web address and look.
  • A conference, congress or seminar with speakers, a programme and registration.
  • A seasonal campaign, such as a Christmas or festive promotion for a mall or brand.
  • A product launch or corporate event that should not be buried in your main website.

Microsite, event page or full website?

An event does not always need its own site. A single page on your company website is enough for a small, one-off webinar. A dedicated microsite makes sense when the event has its own identity, audience and timeline, when you expect heavy traffic around key dates, or when you want the freedom to design and structure it differently from your main brand site. Some organisers run an annual event and keep the same microsite year after year, which builds search visibility over time.

Content to prepare early

The most common cause of microsite delays is not design but content. Gather the following as soon as you can:

  • The event name, dates, venue, and the one-sentence reason to attend.
  • The programme, even if it is a draft. Mark sessions that are not confirmed.
  • Speaker, performer or exhibitor names, photos and short bios, with permission to publish them.
  • Ticketing or registration details, including pricing and deadlines.
  • Sponsor and partner logos in usable formats, with the links they want to use.
  • Practical information: transport, accessibility, what to bring, refund and rain policies where relevant.
  • Branding files such as logos, fonts and colours.

Registration systems

If you need more than a simple form, such as managing attendees, confirmations or capacity, we can build it as a web application. Our website application service includes event registration systems. We scope these case by case, so tell us how many attendees you expect and what you need to track.

Event planning concept for a conference or festival
Plan the website around the event date, with the key milestones worked back from launch day.

Built for mobile and busy launch days

  • Mobile first: many visitors will open your page from a social post or a message on their phone.
  • Fast loading pages: we aim for page load times under two seconds.
  • Hosting that suits the date: we plan hosting for your launch and event dates. See our domain and hosting service.
  • Easy updates: change the programme, add announcements and update details without a developer.

Search and sharing: helping people find the event

People find events through social media, messages from friends, newsletters and search. A microsite should work well for all of them.

  • Clear page titles and descriptions: include the event name, city and year so the result is easy to recognise in search.
  • Event structured data: schema markup for events can describe your event’s name, dates and location to search engines, which may help event details appear correctly.
  • Share previews: set an image and title so that when the link is shared on social platforms or messaging apps, it looks like the event and not a blank link.
  • Campaign links: use tagged links (UTM parameters) in your ads, emails and posts so analytics show which channel brought each visit and registration.

Keeping the same address year after year

If the event repeats, think about the web address before launch. A stable address that is reused for each edition lets earlier visibility and links carry forward. When the event ends, avoid deleting the site. Update it to a recap with photos and highlights, then switch to a “save the date” or “register your interest” page for the next edition. If you must change addresses, set up permanent redirects so old links and bookmarks still work.

Handling the busy days

Traffic to an event site is rarely steady. It spikes when tickets go on sale, when a lineup is announced or when a post goes viral. The site should be built and hosted for those peaks: lightweight pages, optimised images, caching, and a ticket or registration step that can handle many visitors at once. Test your forms and payment links before announcing, and agree who monitors the site and the inbox on the days that matter.

Privacy and consent for registrations

Registration forms collect names, contact details and sometimes dietary or accessibility needs. Collect only what you need, explain how it will be used, and link your privacy policy. If you plan to send promotional messages after the event, get clear consent first and follow Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act requirements, including the Do Not Call provisions where they apply. If you will photograph or film the event, say so in your terms or on-site notices.

After the event

A microsite is also useful once the event is over. Add a thank-you message, photo galleries, videos, speaker slides where permitted, and a short survey or feedback form. Keep the registration or ticketing buttons from showing as active after the event ends, and point visitors to your next event or your main website.

Plan around your event date

A microsite has a fixed deadline, so we start from your event date and work backwards. Share your date first, and we plan content, design approval, build and testing so the site is live before registration or ticket sales open.

Our process

  1. Discovery and strategy: we learn about your business, audience and goals.
  2. UI/UX design and wireframes: page layouts and design concepts for your approval.
  3. Development and build: we build the site and set up your content.
  4. SEO and technical setup: page titles, structure, speed and tracking.
  5. Quality assurance testing: checks across devices and browsers.
  6. Launch and training: go-live and a handover so your team can manage the site.

Microsite pricing depends on the number of pages and features, especially registration. A simple microsite may fit within our website packages, which start from SGD 2,999. A site with custom registration is quoted separately. We confirm the price in a written quotation.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an event microsite take to build?

It depends on the scope and how quickly content and feedback arrive. Our website packages are planned at 4 to 10 weeks. Tell us your event date first, and we will plan backwards from it.

Can the microsite take registrations?

Yes. We can add a registration form, link to your ticketing platform, or build an event registration system through our website application service.

Can we update the programme ourselves?

Yes. The microsite is built on WordPress, and we provide handover training.

Can you design the microsite to match our event branding?

Yes. We design around your event identity, colours and key visuals. Please send your brand assets at the start.

Do you also organise the event?

We offer event management services as a separate service. We can build the microsite on its own.

Should an event microsite have its own domain name?

Either approach can work. A separate domain gives the event its own identity and is easy to say aloud, while a subdomain or page of your main site keeps everything under one brand. For a recurring event, a dedicated domain that you keep each year is usually worth it. See our guide to registering a domain name in Singapore.

Can the microsite handle a ticket sale with many visitors at once?

If you use an external ticketing platform, the microsite links to it and the platform handles payments and capacity. If you need a custom system, we scope it as a web application and plan hosting for the expected load. Tell us your expected audience size and sale date early.

What do we need to provide to start?

The event date, venue, branding files and a draft of the programme are enough to begin. Speaker bios, sponsor logos and ticket details can follow, provided we agree on dates for each.
