Fredrikstad Kino

A town cinema's website has a longer job list than it looks. Beyond the programme and the checkout there are premieres, event screenings, gift cards, opening hours and trailers — and gift cards in particular are a real revenue line that most cinema websites treat as an afterthought, buried where nobody buys one in December.

The other thing a single-town cinema needs is to be the obvious answer when somebody searches for the cinema in that town. That is won by the site itself ranking, not by a listing on a national portal that ranks instead of you and then charges you for the booking.

Running a cinema in the Nordics and weighing this up? Fredrikstad Kino’s site is built on the same platform you would be buying. It is described in full on the Norsk pages, and in Svenska and Dansk and Français and Español and العربية — including what it costs and why you do not have to replace your box office system to use it.
