The story
Keeping content, RSVPs and guest data in sync during a live event.
Art Dubai's team needed to run the platform themselves, with guest and event data flowing to Salesforce in real time, through the busiest week of the cultural calendar.
The Challenge
An international art fair needs a website a non-technical team can update daily, plus VIP RSVPs, calendar downloads, a browsable catalogue and gallery applications. Traffic and attack attempts both peak during the fair, exactly when nothing can go wrong.
The System
We built a custom API connecting WordPress to Salesforce in both directions, so RSVPs, guest activity and content changes move without manual re-entry. Gallery and application portals, DNS, email authentication and security hardening sit under one ongoing maintenance and support plan.
The Solution
A WordPress website with a custom VIP dashboard synced to Salesforce, giving the team live visibility of RSVPs and activity during the fair, backed by year-round maintenance, monthly reporting and a retainer for new development.
