Africa Rising Conference — Event Landing Page & Website
A multi-tab conference website built for Kingdom Business Leadership Global, centered around 'Africa Rising — Igniting Innovation in the Marketplace,' a flagship leadership event in Kenya, with paid registration, sponsor/donate flows, speaker profiles, and book promotion.
- Multi-tab site (Home, About, Speakers, Schedule, Events, Hotels, Contact) with header-level Sponsor, Donate, and Register Now actions.
- Dedicated Africa Rising event landing section added mid-project as a new tab, covering overview, vision, actionable plan, and partner CTA.
- Speaker/leader directory with clickable profile popups and verified LinkedIn links for each founder and partner.
- Paid registration and donation flows connected to Eventbrite and Piksel.
- Multiple structured client revision rounds — theme color change, header/button styling fixes, content corrections, speaker removals/updates, and conference renaming.
- Passed multi-round internal QC (QC1–QC3) against a formal requirement/responsiveness/SEO scorecard before handover.
Case Study Overview
The client needed a single site with multiple tabs that could handle paid event registration and book promotion, modeled after an existing reference conference site. Midway through the build, the scope expanded: a dedicated landing page was needed for a new December event (Africa Rising) — including its own overview, schedule, speaker roster, and registration — to be added as a new tab on the existing site rather than built as a separate property.
Built the site on WordPress with Elementor, structuring it around Home, About, Speakers, Schedule, Events, Hotels, and Contact tabs, then added Africa Rising as its own dedicated section with hero banner, event dates, Core Objectives, Vision, Collaboration & Opportunity, Actionable Plan (Symposiums and Executive Roundtables), Strategic Impact, and a Partner With Us call-to-action. Integrated a speaker/leader grid with individual profile popups pulling in bios and LinkedIn links for each partner (Bruno Roche, Neal Arnold, Diane Arnold, Marshall Belcher, Dr. Tim Kiruhi, Dr. Brook Bello, Dr. Leah Miracho, Demontae Edmonds, Stacey Campbell, and others), added header-level Sponsor, Donate, and Register Now actions, and wired up external registration (Eventbrite, Piksel) and sponsorship links. Went through several structured revision rounds based on client feedback: swapping the theme color from green to blue, fixing header hierarchy and button/border styling, replacing dummy content with final copy, removing outdated speakers/photos, correcting the conference name to 'AI & Business Development Conference,' and repositioning the event host and donate/books buttons in the header.
Delivered a fully responsive, multi-tab conference website live at transforminnovateafrica.ai, with a dedicated Africa Rising event section, working paid-registration and donation pathways, a complete speaker/partner directory with clickable profiles and social links, and sponsor logos — passing multiple QC rounds (QC1–QC3) against a formal scorecard covering requirement match, responsiveness, SEO, and working links before client handover.
