Pick a page style

Standard puts details and registration up front, Showcase is a full-page look for galas and dinners, and Interactive sells one ticket plus sponsorship levels.

On this page

Every event page has one of three styles: Standard, Showcase or Interactive. You pick it first when you create an event, and you can switch it any time in Edit event. Your tickets, orders and settings stay the same when you switch; only the page changes.

Every style can have a background effect, a title font and your colors. See Design your event page.

The cards you pick from

Each card draws its page small, in your event's colors once the event has some. Hover a card and the drawing scrolls from top to bottom, so you can see the whole page before you pick.

What Interactive adds

  • Seats. Edit event asks for the number of seats, and the page counts them down. Sponsors' guests take seats too.
  • One admission ticket. The Tickets page offers Add admission instead of Add ticket. See Add an admission ticket.
  • A price countdown when you schedule a price increase on the admission.
  • The host who invited the guest leads the host row, marked "Invited you".

Change the style later

  1. 1
    Click Edit event at the top of the event.
  2. 2
    Under Page style, pick another style.
  3. 3
    Click Save.

Switching to Standard hides the gallery and keeps its photos. Switching to Interactive asks for Seats before it saves.

Gala events use Showcase

An event with Gala always uses Showcase. The Page style section shows it alone and says "Gala events use Showcase."

The rules behind this page

When
The page style is Interactive
Then
The event page shows each host by first name only. Your own screens keep the full name.
When
A sponsorship level has Sell at checkout on
Then
Guests can pick it with Join and pay by card. The switch exists only on an Interactive page and needs at least one seat; on every other page, guests reach you through the button in Become a sponsor.
When
Gala is unlocked on an event
Then
The event switches to the Showcase style and keeps it, even after Gala closes. Its hosts become the committee, and the Gala pages unlock.
