How I Helped The Recky at Pacific Palms Transform Their Online Presence

The Recky at Pacific Palms has evolved from a classic local venue into a fresh, vibrant destination.

With stunning river views, a family-friendly atmosphere, and increasing popularity as a hotspot for touring bands, they needed a website that reflected their transformation while being easy to manage in-house. That’s where I stepped in.

I helped The Recky to modernise their online presence, streamline their operations, and set the stage for future growth—all using the power of Squarespace. Whether you’re in hospitality, entertainment, or another fast-paced industry, having a website that works for you is essential.

Here’s how I made it happen for The Recky:

The Recky’s Challenge: Attracting Touring Artists & Streamlining Operations with a Website

Located in beautiful Pacific Palms, The Recky had recently revitalised their premises and brand. In addition to being a family-friendly venue, they were becoming a top destination for big-name touring bands. However, they needed a website that could help position them as a prime spot for artists while being easy to manage.

As with many regional clubs, The Recky’s marketing and entertainment manager had a lot to juggle. They needed a website that simplified updates, ticketing, and memberships, and I knew @Squarespace was the perfect platform to meet their needs.

The Solution: A User-Friendly, Future-Ready Website

I designed their website on @Squarespace, which is known for its user-friendly design and robust event management features. With the ability to upload event details once and categorise them into different sections (such as free vs. paid gigs or family-friendly events), The Recky could easily manage their listings. 🎶 This streamlined approach prevented errors and saved the team valuable time.

Another feature I implemented was online membership integration via PayPal. This allowed The Recky to attract and retain members with an easy, hassle-free process—crucial for clubs looking to grow their member base. 💳

The Result: A Bold Website That Reflects The Recky’s Brand

What I loved most about this project was The Recky’s bold approach to marketing. Regional clubs aren’t afraid to experiment, and they had a clear vision for their brand. Since launching the site, their team has been able to manage updates easily. In fact, I recently helped with a small tweak, only to find they had updated their branding and colour palette almost entirely on their own—proof that the Squarespace platform is intuitive and easy to manage. 🙌

What’s Next for The Recky?

With a fresh website that positions them as a go-to venue for touring artists, The Recky is set for continued success. Their team can handle everything from ticketing to memberships without a hitch, allowing them to focus on delivering top-notch experiences for both patrons and performers.

Key Features of The Recky’s Website:

  • Built on Squarespace: Easy for their team to manage in-house.

  • Event management: Streamlined gig listings with integrated ticketing through Eventbrite and Humanitix.

  • Online memberships: Smooth integration with PayPal for retaining and attracting members.

  • Responsive design: Stunning on both mobile and desktop, perfect for their varied audience.
