About us

We love festivals. We love attending and we especially love working with festival organizers to create beautiful, engaging and social websites, Facebook apps and mobile apps. 

Festivals are returning the love. We now power the entire Canada's Walk of Fame Festival website, the Ottawa Bluesfest website and mobile apps, delivered drop in modules and mobile apps to the Winterlude festival and Just for Laughs new web presence and mobile apps being launched this spring is running on our platform. We've also begun moving south powering several festivals organized by Rochester Events.

Products

Our primary product is called ViewTube. It is a full festival platform that includes:

  • drop-in social calendar modules for existing sites
  • full content management system and tools to run complete sites
  • mobile apps (focus on iPhone and Android)

We leverage our platform and experience in events and social media and are constantly adding innovative ideas such as games, location and event check-ins and group functions.

To serve the smaller festivals and country fairs, we are launching a new product called "Festival in a Box". It is a self-serve, fully hosted solution that allows festival organizers to create their own cutting edge website and mobile apps without any coding! They pay a low monthly fee for access to the platform. We're super excited about this as it will really help them get more attendees and sponsors. We're in private Beta and are presently signing up a limited number of festivals as we prepare to launch this spring.

Who We Are

We're also serial entrepreneurs and have poured our own money, blood sweat and tears into this company. Perhaps because of this, we tend to overdo it a bit on customer service. We're always available to our customers and tend to surprise them with extra features … because it is right thing to do and because we take "Powered by FaveQuest" pretty seriously.

Our business has grown entirely through word of mouth which is something we're really proud of.
