The Context
Echo Fields is an electronic open-air festival in Freiburg, operated by VuV Events GbR. After a successful 2025 edition, the next season is being prepared — including the migration away from Squarespace to a custom, faster, festival-grade website.
What’s Shipping
- Festival look: Dark design with high-signal accents (#e8ff00), tuned to the stage and lineup aesthetic
- Lineup page (teaser): Built for blind/reveal phases ahead of the season
- Recap 2025: Photos plus an embedded aftermovie short
- About / Directions / Contact: Clean information architecture, clean heading hierarchy
- Ticket integration: Branded styling on the external ticket shop, reduced friction
Technical Highlights
- Astro + Tailwind: Statically generated, fast on mobile, no CMS overhead
- Hosting: Netlify with its own repo and branch-based workflow
- SEO/GEO: Structured data (LocalBusiness/Event), Open Graph, optimised imagery
- Aftermovie embed: YouTube short embedded without layout shift
Status
Astro redesign actively underway — ongoing content migration and a phased cutover from Squarespace. In parallel I work for VuV Events on the sister site vuv.events (Astro + Storyblok).
