Getting your website ready for Africa Tech Festival
A simple plan around the dates of Africa Tech Festival. Adjust it to your team and your products.

-
Step 4
2 weeks after
Reply to every contact from Africa Tech Festival within days. Update your pages with the questions you heard most at the stand.
What a technology website should show
Technology buyers look for clear specifications, integration details and support terms they can check on their own, on any device, before and after meeting you at the fair.
Dedicated product pages
Before the fair, check that each software or hardware product has its own page with clear specifications, integration details and a downloadable datasheet that buyers can find without asking.
Fast mobile loading
Test your product pages on a phone over a weak fair-hall connection, because IT buyers will open your demo or pricing page at your stand and expect it to load quickly.
Partner-Market languages
Offer your pages in the languages of visitors from distributor and reseller markets, including key terms such as licensing, support levels and API documentation, so partners can assess fit without a call.
Fair-Specific landing page
Give your stand a QR code that leads to a page made for the fair, with a demo request form, then scan business cards and follow up with every contact within days.
