Designing the event website

Creating and designing event websites with Oniva

With Oniva, you can easily and automatically create event websites that serve as a central platform for your guests to register and access event information. The design and content of these websites can be tailored to meet your specific requirements.

Basic design

Adapt the design of your event website to match your branding:

• Logo and colours: Branding elements are automatically sourced from your workspace. If needed, you can customise these for a specific event in the event settings. For a consistent look across all your events, we recommend setting these elements directly in your workspace.
• Header image: Add a header image in the event information section while editing your event. For more tips and image requirements, refer to our article on images in Oniva.
• Layout: There are two layout options to choose from in the event information. For images in a more compact format (approx. 4:3), we recommend the standard layout as it is cropped less. For narrower image formats (approx. 16:9), the widescreen layout is the better choice.

Content

Configure the content of your event website to provide essential information to your guests:

• Title and description: Enter these details in the event information section. Additional content can be added below the description if needed.
• Agenda and speakers: Edit the agenda and speaker details in their respective menus. If no agenda or speakers are added, these menus will not be displayed on the website.
• Organisation and contact persons: Organisations are created in the workspace and can then be linked together with the contact persons in the event information. If you do not have Workspace authorisation (only event admin), you can contact your admin or Oniva support.
• Date: The event date is automatically calculated based on all booking options.
• Location: Add the main event location in the event information section. Additional locations can be defined in the booking options but will not appear on the main event page. These are useful when specific options occur at different locations.
• Show guests: Enable or disable the guest list display in the event settings. If enabled, only participants who consented during registration will be shown.
• Comments: Enable or disable the comment section on your event website in the event settings.

Configurations

Define technical and language settings for your event:

• Event URL: Customise the URL endpoint (e.g., https://.../event/endpoint) in the event settings. Note: The URL can only be adjusted when the event is deactivated (e.g., in "Draft" status).
• Languages: Activate additional languages for your event website in the event settings. Learn more about multilingual events in this article.

Registration options

Simplify guest registration with clear booking options:

• Available spots: Display the number of available spots. This feature can be enabled in both authorisation groups and the respective booking options. To show available spots, a capacity limit must be set. Learn more about capacity in this article.
• Registration deadline: Set a general registration deadline for your guests in the authorisation groups. Individual booking options can also have their own deadlines, though these will not appear on the main event page. This is useful for options that close earlier than the overall deadline.
• Calendar file: The event description is automatically included in the generated calendar file. If you want certain text to appear only on the website and not in the calendar file, place it in a separate field instead of the event description. Refer to the article on event information for details.
