Creating Custom Event Website Content

The Event Website feature in the PheedLoop system has been an appealing tool for our customers as it’s user friendly, easily customizable, and has an abundance of instruments which will make your event experience more interactive and attractive to attendees.

There’s a ton of customization that comes with the Event Website so it’s crucial to narrow down what capabilities you have at making your event as personable as possible and how to make the most use out of it.

1. Creating Website page

Although by default PheedLoop’s Event Website creation has a lot of pre-created pages at your disposal, you should not feel restrained by them! You have the option to create your own custom pages.

1. From the Event Dashboard, navigate to Experiences > Website > Pages
2. Above the pages table, select Create
3. Fill out the Name, URL Extension, and External Link fields
   1. Only the Name and URL Extension fields are required for creating a custom page.
   2. The External Link field is only required if you want to link to an external event website directly from the PheedLoop website.
   3. If you are in the process of making a custom page and don’t want attendees to view it yet, you can toggle on the Hide Page checkbox.
   4. If you toggle on the Set as Home Page checkbox, the custom page will now show up as the home page for your Event Website.
4. Select Save Changes

Quick Tip - You can also add sub-pages under the Sub-Pages field, learn more about sub-pages further down in this article.

2. Creating Website Sections

Similarly to website pages, although you can edit and utilize the pre-created website sections you have from default, you have the option to create your own custom sections as well.

1. From the Event Dashboard, navigate to Experiences > Website > Sections
2. Above the sections table, select Create
3. Fill out the Name field
4. Under the Page field, select a page you would like to link the section to from the list
5. Fill out the text box underneath Custom Style if you would like to add custom CSS styling to your section
6. Fill out the text box underneath Custom Content to add your own information
   1. Toggle on the Hide Section checkbox if you do not want this section to appear in your Event Website.
7. Under Additional Settings you can add a Background Color and a Background Image
8. Select Save Changes

3. Using Sub-Pages

Sub-pages are a great way to compact a lot of information in one page. If you want to guide your attendees in one area and not have them scavenge through your Event Website, we highly recommend utilizing this feature

3 (A). How Sub-Pages Work

Sub-pages in PheedLoop are essentially just the custom pages you can create but are linked to one main page heading. When a sub-page is added, you can scroll to the top of your Event Website and notice that a dropdown menu will appear when hovering over the page. You won’t be able to go into the main page itself, but it’s simply used as a hovering menu for sub-pages related to the main topic. For example, if you want a directory and a floor plan linked to your Exhibitors, utilizing sub-pages is an excellent way to do this:

3 (B). Adding Sub-Pages

1. From the Event Dashboard, navigate to Experiences > Website > Pages
2. Select a page you would like to add a sub-page to from the list
   1. You can also add sub-pages whilst creating your page from scratch
3. In the pages editor form, under Sub-Pages, select a page you want to make a sub-page
4. Select Save Changes 

Note - Once a page has been turned into a sub-page, it will no longer show up with the rest of the pages at the top of the Event Website. It can only be found within the page it has been linked to.
