Step 2: Branding

After entering essential information about your event, the next step is to configure the branding details. This includes selecting a theme color, choosing an event website template, uploading a header image and logo, and adding a countdown timer to your website. Follow these steps to complete these tasks:

Theme color

Personalize your event web pages and forms to reflect your event's brand and identity by selecting a specific theme color.

The theme color is a design element used throughout different sections of your event webpage, as well as on forms such as buttons, links, and titles, and to highlight selected items.

How to select a theme color?

To select a theme color for your event, click on the color picker icon located on the right side of the 'Theme Color' setting area. You can choose a preset color or manually input the color code into the appropriate field on the color palette.

Website template

MeetingHand offers a variety of website templates for event planners to choose from. Simply select the template that you prefer by marking its corresponding thumbnail image, and MeetingHand will then build an event website for you based on that template.

Show event countdown

You may choose to include a countdown timer on the header section of your event website, indicating the remaining days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the event. To add the countdown timer, you can enable the toggle button provided specifically for this purpose.

Event header image

To create an appealing event website, it is crucial to upload a header image that effectively portrays the essence of your event. You have two options to achieve this: either design a personalized banner image or use the stock image tool, Unsplash, which is added explicitly for this purpose.

Note that uploading an image is a mandatory step to complete your website settings. Banner sizes change according to the website templates you choose.

Find an image from Unsplash

To select an image from Unsplash for your event website, you can simply click on the 'Find Image from Unsplash' button and search for an appropriate picture. Once you have found a suitable image, mark it and click on the 'Insert' button to include it in your website header.

Event logo

MeetingHand provides the option to create and upload an event logo to your website, registration form, or other relevant pages. There are two methods to create an event logo. You can either upload a logo image from your existing library or use your event's short name to develop a typographic logo.

Add from library

To ensure that your event logo appears appropriately on your website, registration form, or other event pages, it is essential to maintain the correct size. Please note that your logo size should be 150 pixels in width and 50 pixels in height. Once you have designed your logo, you can upload it by clicking the 'Change Image' button and selecting the logo file from your computer.

Create from event short name

If you do not have a pre-designed logo for your event, you can use your event's short name to create a typographic logo instead. To create a typographic logo, select the 'Create from event short name' option and customize the logo text as per your preference. You can also choose the font type, font color, and background colors from the relevant settings to make your logo stand out. This will help you to create an event logo quickly and easily without having to design a new one from scratch.
