Event website Styles

On the Styles tab you can define the general fonts and colours of your Event website. These are the default setting that will be shown in every section unless you are using section specific style in the sections. You can also edit the style of buttons on the styles tab. You can edit the colour of the text, the background colour of the button and the corner radius of the button.

If you are using the section specific style, you can edit the colours and the font of the text and the background by editing that specific section from the content tab.

Edit the navigation bar and the cover of the Event website

The first section of the Event website is the navigation bar and then after that the cover section. You can add your company logo on the left side of the navigation bar and select which sections will be visible on the bar. In addition, you can edit the style of the navigation bar. The style of the navigation bar is by default the same as on the Styles page but it is possible to activate the section specific style to give the navigation bar a different look. If you don't wish to use the navigation bar section you can also hide it so that the first section of the event website is the cover section.

The cover section is the second section the participant will see when opening the event website after the navigation bar. In the cover section you can edit the cover image and add an introduction text on top of the image. You can also add a hyperlink or a button in the introduction text so that the participant can easily find the link to the registration page. Read more about how to add a hyperlink or button here.
