South Island Veterans Tennis Teams Festival

Modern festival website with online player entry, venue history, committee tools, and email campaigns for New Zealand’s favourite summer veterans tennis event.

The challenge

The festival relied on paper entries, scattered emails, and outdated information spread across Facebook posts. The committee needed a professional platform for the 36th edition in Ashburton 2026 — with frictionless online registration, clear schedules for travelling players, and an easy yearly host-town refresh.

About the client

SIVTTF is an incorporated volunteer-run tennis festival founded in 1991, bringing masters players aged 30+ together across South Island host towns every 28–30 December for social team tennis, dinner, and prizegiving.

What we did

We mapped the player journey from first visit to confirmed entry, then designed and built a mobile-first WordPress site with custom responsive design, FluentCRM automation, custom venue rotation content, SEO/AEO structure, and a participant email campaign for the 2026 launch.

Outcome

A live festival hub at sivtennisfestival.co.nz with instant online entry, automated player confirmations, committee-friendly updates, and a showcase of 36 years of South Island host-town history.
