Website case study

Gheko Website Case Study

gheko.co.za

The client and the brief

Gheko’s project combines an artist website with a booking platform. The recorded work includes a multi-page public presence, a booking form and an admin system. The brief brings two needs together: present the artist professionally and give enquiries a more structured place to arrive.

The website is part of a wider relationship between an artist and the people organising events. A promoter needs information they can review and share. The artist needs enough event detail to respond sensibly. The project connects those needs without expecting a public visitor to understand the administration behind the site.

The challenge: bring clarity to the request

Direct messages are useful for introductions, but event details can be spread across a conversation. A booking form provides a consistent starting point. It gives an organiser a defined route to enquire and provides information in a form that can be reviewed later. The site can explain the process before someone sends the request.

This case study does not put a number on time saved or enquiries gained. The documented problem is the friction of scattered booking information, and the documented response is a multi-page artist presence with a form and administration. Any claim about performance would need separate evidence from the artist’s actual booking records.

What Strydes built

The public site brings Gheko’s music identity and booking information together in a multi-page experience. The visual direction introduces the artist, while the enquiry route gives interested visitors a practical next step. A booking form replaces an undefined “message me” instruction with a more deliberate request process.

An admin system supports the management side of that journey. The project record confirms the presence of the system, without listing every current dashboard feature or integration. This distinction matters when comparing projects: a new build should be scoped around the workflow you need, rather than assume that every existing client uses the same administration.

Public presentation and private administration

A promoter should be able to find the artist information they need without encountering internal tools. Separating the public presentation from administration keeps each part focused. The public journey introduces Gheko and makes the booking route accessible; the private side supports reviewing and managing the requests received.

The same separation helps when thinking about event listings. An upcoming show is information approved for the audience, while an enquiry may contain private contact details and unconfirmed plans. A booking platform needs a clear distinction between those two kinds of information. More automation should never mean treating private requests as public announcements.

Outcome and what is visible

The delivered combination is an artist website, structured booking form and admin system. That gives the booking journey a defined starting point and a place for administration. The outcome is described in terms of the work delivered, rather than a promise that every enquiry becomes a confirmed gig.

The project image presents Gheko’s music artwork used in the website portfolio. It should not be read as a screenshot of a specific dashboard screen. The live link below lets you explore the current public experience; internal administration is not presented as publicly accessible material in this case study.

Planning a similar website

Start by listing what a booker needs to understand about your work and what you need to know before replying. Include the pages you already have, the music or media you want to share and any parts of the process that currently involve repeated messages. You can send those details later if you only have a rough idea today.

Strydes packages start at R2,500 for Starter Presence, R7,000 for a Professional Site and R12,000 for an Automation System. Growth & Protection starts at R1,500/month, with a three-month minimum only if you choose that plan. The package linked below is a suggested starting point for a conversation, not a disclosure of what this client paid. Your proposal confirms the actual scope and cost.
