# at a glance

An events brand's home, with a CMS the team runs themselves.

# problem

An İstanbul events brand needed a site that could keep pace with a changing calendar — new events, lineups, and pages — without a developer in the loop every week.

It also had to look the part: nightlife energy, but fast and readable on a phone at the door.

# approach

Built the public site for speed and feel, with motion that carries the brand without slowing the page.

Wired a headless CMS so the team publishes events, updates lineups, and edits pages on their own.

Modeled the content types around how the team actually plans, so day-to-day updates are a few fields, not a rebuild.

# outcome

Live at afterhoursistanbul.com. The team runs the calendar themselves; the site keeps up.
