An event or conference website is the first handshake between your event and your future attendees. If it’s awkward, slow, or confusing, people are going to take a hard pass. But if the event website design is clear, fast and easy to use, visitors will sign up faster than you can say ‘keynote speaker.’ Building an event website interface that drives registrations demands some non-negotiable design elements. A smooth one sets the tone and makes the audience eager for more.
The success of an academic conference depends largely on the work that goes into it, and online visibility is a tiny but significant part of it. An effective academic conference website needs to be built well from the ground up, so that it is ready to work for you. This is where Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) comes in. Continue reading

That said, designing and building a website from scratch can be a daunting task if you’re not a web developer. Luckily there are plenty of resources on how to host your site. In this blog post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about setting up an event planning website.
The updates for the Dryfta event website builder were long due, and that’s why we have been working hard on the new website builder over the past few weeks.

Starting with the new website designer’s user interface itself, the new interface would open standalone, with the main sidebar collapsing automatically. That means the admin has the full screen to design the website. Also, to choose a theme for the website, one does not have to go to a separate page anymore. They can do so using the Theme Switcher in the top left.

The ubiquitous Facebook “Like” and “Share” buttons are there on most websites. One issue I’ve constantly found with sharing URLs on Facebook is that most websites do not have any influence over the picture and description that goes with the URL.

Facebook’s Open Graph API sets data through custom META tags on the website’s page and are prefixed with og: Using this simple META tag strategy, you can tell Facebook what images, text, and link to use when sharing your event’s website. Let’s see how you can control how your event website is shared on Facebook.
