I developed the Levellers website using the open-source CMS NXCMS, creating a custom shop component and integrating an external forum to give fans a seamless experience. The site handles all band merchandise and festival ticket sales, centralizing e-commerce and community features in one place.
Ticketing presented the biggest technical challenge. To improve reliability, flexibility, and integration with modern payment and order-management systems, I rewrote the original ColdFusion-based ticketing solution in PHP. The migration delivered better performance, easier maintenance, and smoother checkout flows for festival tickets.
The result is a robust, user-friendly site that combines NXCMS-driven content, a bespoke e-commerce component, and forum integration — all optimized for selling merchandise and managing ticketing at scale.
