ABOUT FARLO

Farlo is a digital agency specialising in data-driven UX, technical SEO and high-performance WordPress platforms, with deep expertise in live events, theatre and ticketing.

We design, build and operate large-scale, content-rich websites used by millions of users, integrating closely with external ticketing, CRM and analytics systems. Our work is long-term, platform-focused and performance-critical - not throwaway campaign sites.
