Some feedback:

1. I would like to be able to get from the event to the map pin position. Both on the event screen (it could be even embedded there) and in search results. The site is showing me only events in Cyrillic - I don't know why. Perhaps the closest events to me are in Ukraine/Russia?

2. I dislike the decisions about where target="_blank" is used. Sometimes it is used when I don't expect it and sometimes it is not used when I do expect it.

3. I wouldn't do the transform: rotate; thing with text. It feels strange. Might even make it less accessible for some.

4. CAPITAL BLUE WORDS - some of them are links and some of them are emphasis. You need to distinguish those cases.

5. Why can't I access the map with uBlock Origin? Don't tell me it's required for the positioning, use Geolocation browser API.

6. On the landing page, you are for some reason putting all of the content into <h2 /> tags.

1. Ahmm I assume you are using it on PC and you mean events on the front-page are in Cyrillic? You say - "I would like to be able to get from the event to the map pin position." - you mean from front-page to pin on the map or you mean from search to pin on the map?

What do you think about removing the landing page all together and using only the map page?

> you mean from front-page to pin on the map or you mean from search to pin on the map?

I mean from both.

The front page shows me this event: https://www.wiwo.world/event/location=cest-la-vie-club&categ...

I have no idea where it is. I don't know what's La Vie Club or even what country it is in.

When I open map and enter something into the search bar, I get a list of events. Again, I have no idea where they are happening. Clicking on them sends me on the event page.

Sounds like an improvement for the user. Can't comment on business/marketing impact.
