Customizing Your Site

Clicking on the Home Screen Editor (...) on the right side of the Home Page, you can add posters, pictures, and information about your fair.

Use the "Main Page Content" to add written details about your fair. Copy and paste from a document, or write in your own. HTML styling is available if preferred.

Adding a Logo and Changing Site Background Color

Click on the "Site Style and Theme Settings" tab. Here you can upload a logo and change the primary color to your website. You can also customize you page through CSS editing.

Adding Widgets

You can add widgets that show on the home screen of your webpage. These will show for any visitor to your website.

Types of Widgets:

• Location: You can add maps, addresses and room numbers to this widget so participants know where the event is located and where they need to go on the day of the event.

• Schedule: This shows important dates and times for your event. You can also hide scheduled dates until you are ready to have them show on the widget. NOTE: You will need to individually input the dates for what you want to show on this widget. The date and sessions configurations will not show here.

• Important Links: This is a great widget to use to guide users to school websites and additional important web URLs that they may need to get information about the event or even event sponsors.

Navigate to the Widgets page for a detailed walkthrough on how to set them up.

Adding Pages

Creating custom pages is a highly effective way to streamline your event site and ensure that your users have an intuitive, personalized experience. Here are the key reasons why creating these pages is beneficial for your event management:

• Tailored User Experiences: You can restrict page access based on specific user types (such as participants, judges, or vendors) or specific tags. This ensures that users only see the information relevant to their role and keeps your site focused.
• Enhanced Navigation: By adding custom pages to your navigation menu, you can organize your site content more clearly. You can even assign icons to these menu titles to help users identify the sections they need at a glance.
• Supporting Specialized Needs: Custom pages allow you to create distinct flows and landing zones for specific groups that may not fit your standard registration model, helping you manage unique event requirements efficiently.
