Your event website and mailings' design

Your event website and mailings' design

Under “Design”, you can customise your website and mailings’ design according to your requirements.

To change the design for your event, click on > Design on the left.

List view (only available with the PRO version)
  1. The default design will be automatically applied to the event website and all of the mailings.
  2. To edit a design, click on the design name in the list.
  3. To use a custom design for one or several mailings or one or several pages of your event website, you will first have to create it on this page.
  4. You can create a new design by clicking on "Design”, or by selecting "Duplicate" from the quick menu of an existing design.
  5. To view the elements in which a design is being used, click on the link in the "Used" column (e.g. "Ix").




Multiple designs for an event: If you would like to use multiple designs for an event, you can create multiple design configurations and assign them to the relevant element (event website or mailing). This will allow you to assign a custom design to every mailing and every page of your event website. To create additional design configurations, you can either duplicate an existing configuration or create a completely new one.
