A custom website and management platform for Chesapeake Beach Water Park — online ticketing, season passes, reservations, and a back office built around how the park actually runs.
Off-the-shelf ticketing platforms charge per-transaction fees that sting at water-park volume, force their workflows onto your staff, and keep your customer data on their servers. This platform flips that: you own the storefront, the data, and the guest relationship — with hosting costs near zero in the off-season and infrastructure that scales automatically for a hot Saturday morning ticket rush. Everything below is already built as a clickable mockup you can try right now.
Both concepts use the park's real photos, real brand colors, and hand-picked typography. Fun, but never cartoonish. Try them on your phone — every animation and menu works.
Warm and family-first. A full-photo hero, chunky rounded type, tilted photo prints with color pops, and springy buttons. The friendliest of the two.

Bold and energetic. A full-screen aerial hero over the bay, edge-to-edge photo strips, and giant condensed type. Feels like a big-league attraction.

SaaS ticketing platforms skim every sale — at thousands of tickets a summer, that's real money. Here the only per-transaction cost is Stripe's card fee. The platform itself doesn't take a cut.
Serverless infrastructure (Cloudflare) scales instantly when the whole town buys tickets in a two-hour window before open — and costs almost nothing all winter while the park sleeps.
Payment is embedded right on the page — guests never bounce to a third-party checkout that looks like someone else's brand. Card data goes straight to Stripe, keeping you out of heavy PCI scope.
One click from an order to the customer to their passes to their party booking. Staff notes travel with the guest ("gluten-free cake on file"). That's the stuff big-park software charges enterprise money for.
Every ticket and pass already carries a scan token with a full scan history — duplicate scans blocked automatically. When you're ready for gate scanners and door POS, the plumbing is already there.
Customers, orders, and season-pass history live in your database, not a vendor's. Switch tools, run promotions, email your passholders — nobody can hold your guest list hostage.
Want the receipts? The Breakdown puts the park's old ticketing setup next to this platform — pricing, fees, and hardware, side by side.
Morbid? A little. But it's the question every business should ask their web developer — and here the answer is: nothing bad happens.
Two storefront directions with real park photography, plus the full Park Manager admin and staff devices — all interactive, all live for you to test today.
Build the chosen design into the production site: live ticket & season-pass sales with embedded Stripe checkout, guest accounts and wallets, party inquiries flowing into the admin. This is when the park starts selling online.
Park Manager for the front desk, events team, and leadership — plus the staff learning system, so training and certifications are ready before seasonal hiring ramps up.
QR scanning at the gates, walk-up sales at the window on iPads with Stripe Reader S710 terminals, the kitchen display, and real-time in-park counts — timed to the reopening.
Passholder email campaigns, dynamic date-based pricing, deeper reporting, and team scheduling — either built in or integrated with a tool like When I Work.
Everything in this proposal is live right now — click around, try it on your phone, and tell us which storefront feels like the park.
