Testimonials
The website we created using Gala turned out beautifully, and the ticketing feature was priceless! On a sold-out opening night, I was able to quickly scan over one hundred tickets using the Gala QR code reader app. During such a high energy, potentially stressful situation, I knew that because of Gala all of the ticketing issues were being taken care of.Milcah Torrez, Fearless Birth Film Festival Co-Founder films.fearlessbirthcalifornia.org/2013/
Thanks to Gala Festival Engine, we setup an awesome mobile website for our festival despite limited resources. With the Gala team in our corner, we got helpful advice on our website usability, and I learned all about the ins and outs of Gala's customization options and features. #ThanksGala!Mike Kwan, Digital & Interactive Media Manager caamfest.com
