Each event you build in Gradual has a robust and informative landing page to catch members' attention, provide logistical details, and promote speakers, agendas and more! This resource walks through the different elements of the landing page and how to customize or edit those pieces in the dashboard.

The event banner sits at the top of the landing page and features the main event details like title, date, and time and an event graphic. There are a few options for customizing the graphics and display of the banner (see below), but all event details pull directly from the information in the event dashboard, in General Info.

The action button will read 'Register' if the user is not registered for the event, or 'Join Event' if the user is registered. The button is the color selected as your 'Branding Theme Color' in Settings → Customization in the dashboard.

The standard banner includes the event cover image graphic on the left and event details on the right.

Event Cover Image: This image represents the event and is used throughout the community to showcase the event. Recommended format: 1200x628px | JPG | Up to 5 MB

Event details: Event title, date and time, etc. pull from the data entered in General Info → Basic Settings

You can upload a larger image as the event banner. This image spans the full width of the page, and will populate the event details atop.

Video URL: Supports URLs ending with .mp4 and .m3u8, with a file size under 20 MB. We recommend using a wide aspect ratio, preferably 12:5. Section backgrounds resize automatically based on content and the visitor's browser window size. To minimize cropping, use videos with a horizontal or landscape aspect ratio.

The event description pulls from the event dashboard General Info → Description. This block supports rich text, videos, images, gifs, hyperlinks, and more.

There are several assets you can choose to display on the landing page to promote aspects of your event and garner more attention and easy promotion for the event.

Any speakers added to the event dashboard can appear as an event asset on the landing page, with a link to their bio.

An interactive agenda for the event can appear as an event asset on the landing page. Users can browse the sessions by track, location, and learn more about the speakers and topics.

List who's registered for the event, with a link to their community profile, and feature certain attendees at the top of the list.

Showcase photos of the event for users to view and download.

Any sponsors added to the event can appear as an event asset on the landing page, with a link to their website.

More event details can be found on the lower right-hand side of the page, in the event details block.

Ticket information for registrants can be found here and if a virtual ticket is loaded, it will populate here and when clicked, will link out to their personalized ticket and ticket page.

Receipt information for registrants can be found here and registrants can click 'View Receipt' for details, email the receipt to them, and if needed, cancel their registration from the receipt pop-up.

The page will indicate if the event is live and ongoing, a countdown until it is live, or a note that it has ended. The event time will appear in the local user's timezone or list 'event time zone' for hybrid events.

If the event is in-person, it will list the location or it will list 'Online' if it is a virtual event.

You can indicate who or what organization is hosting each event from within the dashboard → General Info → Organized By. The system will automatically list the community as the organizer but if you'd like to list another organizer or individual, you can set that in the dashboard and it will appear here.

Users can add the event to their calendars from the landing page. The platform can add to most of the common calendars (Google, Outlook, etc.).

Users can share on their social accounts or by email from the icons at the base of this block. The platform will link out to their social accounts, or email and provide a direct link to the event landing page.
