Hire me / Event registration systems

Event registration system development

Registration is where an event starts working or starts leaking. I build registration systems for trade shows and business events, with a separate flow for each type of attendee and an admin that organizers can run themselves.

More than 5,000 people have registered through one of my systems, and a trade platform I rebuilt now serves more than 1 million users.

What you get

  • Sign-up for exhibitors, buyers, visitors and speakers, each with its own steps
  • Review and approval, with reminders for unfinished applications
  • Packages, billing, proof of payment and statements of account
  • Badges with QR codes, and on-site scanning
  • Confirmation and reminder emails
  • Search, filters, exports and reports for organizers

Who it's for

  • Trade show and expo organizers
  • Government trade and investment programs
  • Associations running yearly conferences

Systems like this I've built

Short project or long term, both work

A few days to about 3 months

Short-term project

One clear goal with a written scope and a fixed quote before work starts. You see progress on a staging link every week.

  • A registration system for one event
  • A website or landing page
  • Fixing, upgrading or speeding up a Laravel app
  • A dashboard, report or integration

3 months and up

Long-term development

A platform built in phases, released early and improved with what users actually do. One developer who knows the whole system, start to finish.

  • A multi-event or year-round platform
  • Replacing an old system with a migration plan
  • A product that grows feature by feature

Month to month

Monthly retainer

A set number of hours each month for maintenance, security updates, backups, small features and support before and during your events.

  • Keeping a live system patched and backed up
  • A steady list of small changes
  • Peak-season support for trade shows

Part-time or full-time contract

Extra developer for your team

I join your team's repository, tools and meetings, and work through your backlog with your developers.

  • Agencies with more projects than developers
  • In-house teams that need Laravel experience
  • Covering a developer on leave

Questions clients ask

Can it handle different types of attendees?

Yes. Exhibitors, buyers, visitors and VIPs can each have their own form, rules, approval steps and emails, all in one admin.

Can we reuse it for next year's event?

Yes. I build it to be configured per event, so returning exhibitors keep their details and you don't pay for a new system each year.

How much does it cost to hire you?

It depends on the scope, so every project gets a written quote first. Send a short brief (it takes about 30 seconds) and I reply within one business day with questions or a quote. Retainers and team contracts are billed monthly.

Do you take small or short projects?

Yes. Fixes, upgrades, a single feature, a landing page or a registration form for one event are all welcome, as long as the goal is clear.

Can you work with us long term?

Yes. Most of my systems have run for years, and I still maintain them. Long-term work can be a phased build, a monthly retainer or a part-time or full-time contract on your team.
