Creating a website and defining its structure

In this article, you will learn how to create a website and define its structure.

To ensure that the “Website” menu item appears in your navigation bar under “Communication,” first activate it in the “Modules” section.

Create website

To create a new event website in the “Website” menu item, click on the plus button in the top right corner.

In the “Create website” window, you can enter the following information:

“Create from template”: If you don't want to create your website from scratch, but would rather use a template you have already saved, click on the drop-down menu and select the desired template. If you want to start with a blank website, simply leave this field blank.

To give your website a name, click on the “Name” field and enter a title there.

The URL of the website consists of two components by default.

• The first component, “URL,” is event-specific, so you can enter your event name here, for example.
  When you first set up a website or create an event based on a copy or template, a unique combination of numbers and letters is automatically stored. You can customize this part of the URL either when creating the website or later in the website settings.
• The second component, “Domain,” contains the general subdomain of your space. If more than one subdomain is stored in your space, you can select the desired domain from the drop-down menu.

Once you have entered the URL, the defined event URL will be displayed next to the website icon.

Actions

The newly created website now appears in the overview. Move the mouse over the created page to perform the following actions:

Edit

Simply click on the event website to open and edit it.

Delete

Move the mouse pointer over the website and click on the trash can icon on the right-hand side. You can delete the website at any time.

Copy URL

To copy the published website URL, hover your mouse pointer over it. The copy icon will then appear on the right-hand side.

Define structure

Once you have opened the website's edit mode, you can put together the desired “website structure.” Some of the content for the widgets must be stored in advance in the individual menu items in evenito (such as location, schedule, forms, or speakers).

The available widgets are displayed on the left under “Widgets.” To insert one into the website, drag and drop it into the white field to the right (“Drag your widget here”). A preview of it is immediately displayed on the right.

To check how your website will appear on your laptop/computer, tablet, or smartphone, you can click on the three icons on the right and switch between the views of the respective devices.

You can also click on the “Preview” link at the top left. This button only becomes active once you have saved all changes. You can find more information about the preview here.

In the “Website Structure” section, you can change the order of the widgets in the right-hand area using drag and drop.

No changes can be made in the website preview area on the right-hand side. Any adjustments must be made either in the widgets themselves or in the individual menu items in the tool.

Available widgets

Each individual module has specific functions. You can find more detailed information about the individual widgets and their settings here.
