Do I need a developer or designer to use Plot?

No. Plot generates your site from your answers in the onboarding wizard, and you manage everything afterwards in the visual editor and admin.

What about the design? The wizard builds the site from over 40 layouts styled around your colours, type and imagery, so it arrives with your branding, pages, navigation, footer and cookie banner in place. You then edit pages, layouts, text and media yourself.

What about the jobs that normally need a developer?

  • Ticketing. Connect DICE, Eventbrite, Ticket Tailor, Skiddle, Humanitix, Ticketmaster or TicketWeb and your events import automatically.

  • Your domain. You add the DNS records Plot shows you at your domain registrar, following the step-by-step guide. Plot handles the hosting and the SSL certificate.

  • Hosting, security and updates. Included, and looked after by Plot.

  • Search. Search metadata and social previews are generated with your site, and Google Event schema is added to every event for you.

  • Tracking. Connect tracking scripts such as Google Tag Manager and ad pixels from the admin.

  • Day-to-day changes. Lineups, schedules, listings, holding pages and forms are all edited by your own team.

Can more than one person work on the site? Yes. You can invite team members to the site admin.

What if I would rather have a designer? That is what Plot Managed is for. A dedicated design specialist builds a bespoke site from your specifications, and you can upgrade from Core to Managed at any time. See Who creates my website?

Can Plot build custom features or custom code for me? No. Plot does not offer custom code or custom feature development on any plan.

If you get stuck, the help centre and the Plot team are there. See What support do I get?
