Event page

Every event has an event page: the page buyers open to read about the event and get tickets. To work on it, choose Events → All Events in the sidebar and click the event. It opens in the event editor, where these sections shape the page:

• Page design, in the Design group, sets how the page looks, from Geiger's ready-made layout to a page you build block by block.
• The Page group holds what the page says: Cover Media, Rich Description, What to Expect, Schedule, FAQ, Section Notes, Disclaimer, Guests and Infographics.
• Map & Directions, in the Location group, fills the page's Location section with a map, nearby places and travel notes.

The Page group sections and Map & Directions save as you work, or with their own Save button. Page design is different: its changes wait until you choose Save Changes at the top of the event editor, and they're lost if you leave the event editor first.

To check your work, choose Preview at the top of Page design. It shows the page with your unsaved changes, and Back returns to the editor. The external-link icon at the top of the event editor (View live page) opens the live page in a new tab.

By default, Events appears in the sidebar for the Owner, Admin, Manager and Member roles. To change who sees it, see Roles and permissions.

An event page has a mode, picked at the top of Page design, which decides how much of its look you control:

• Standard: Geiger's own layout, with nothing to set. A page uses it until you pick another mode.
• Themed: your colors, fonts, layout, header, footer and section order.
• Import: everything in Themed, starting from the logo, colors and fonts of a website you name.
• Custom: everything in Themed, plus the page builder for arranging the page block by block.

Whatever the mode, the page is made of the same sections. By default they run in this order: About this event, What to expect, Schedule, Location, Who's going, Guests, Sponsors and Frequently Asked Questions, followed by any infographics. Beside them is a column of cards: the tickets card (headed Select ticket), Good To Know (format, capacity and language), At registration and Dietary & Accessibility. The cover, gallery, title, date, venue and hosts sit at the top.

A section with nothing in it stays off the page. About this event needs a description, What to expect a highlight, Schedule an item, Guests a guest and the FAQ a question. Who's going appears once a ticket is sold, and Location always shows. At registration appears when the event has custom questions, and Dietary & Accessibility when it has guidelines.

In Standard mode the sections keep their default order and none can be hidden. Renamed headings, section notes and the disclaimer apply in every mode.

Some parts of the page are set up elsewhere: the tickets card in Tickets, the Sponsors section in Sponsors & Expo, and the At registration and Dietary & Accessibility cards in Registrations.

To change how the event page looks, open Page design in the event editor and pick a mode: Standard, Themed, Import or Custom. Standard has nothing to set. The other three show five tabs: Brand, Typography, Layout, Header & footer and Sections.

Nothing in Page design saves on its own. Choose Save Changes at the top of the event editor to put your changes on the live page, and use Preview to check them first. Two things save straight away: a renamed section heading, and a page saved from the page builder, which saves the whole design with it. Switching modes keeps your settings, so a Themed page switched to Standard and back returns as it was.

On the Brand tab:

• Base: Dark (the default) or Light. Choosing one resets the page background, surface, text, muted text and border colors to match.
• Brand colors: Brand / accent (buttons and highlights), Brand text (the text on brand-colored buttons), Gradient end, Secondary, Links, Page background, Surface / cards, Text, Muted text and Border. Pick from the swatch or type a hex value.
• Tagline: a short line under the event title. Favicon URL: the icon in the browser tab on the live page.

On the Typography tab, set the Heading font and Body font (Geist Sans by default, or Space Grotesk, Poppins, Playfair Display, Merriweather or Geist Mono), the Text size (Small, Medium or Large; Medium is the default), the Heading weight (Medium, Semibold, Bold or Black; Bold is the default), Heading tracking in em, Heading line height (0 keeps the default) and Uppercase headings.

The Layout tab of Page design opens with a gallery of page layouts. Filter it with the chips across the top: All, the four preset groups, My layouts and Classic.

• Presets are complete page arrangements in four groups: Live & music (Festival, Club night), Professional (Conference, Workshop, Launch), Occasions & causes (Gala, Retreat, Fundraiser) and Community (Exhibition, Meetup). Use applies one, Customize applies it and opens the page builder, and the eye icon previews it with your event's content. A preset brings its own fonts, shapes and light or dark base, keeps your brand color, and switches the page to Custom mode.
• My layouts holds arrangements saved from the page builder with Save as layout, shared by every event in the project. Use applies one, Edit applies it and opens the builder, and the trash icon deletes it after you confirm.
• Classic layouts are fixed layouts that apply at once and take your theme, but can't be edited block by block: Classic (the default), Luma, Anchored nav, Agenda first, App shell, Spotlight, Split stage, Glass panel, Gallery wall, Marquee, Magazine, Poster, Split hero, Landing page, Zigzag, Bento grid, Registration first, Box office and Card stack.

Start from blank gives the page an empty layout and opens the page builder.

A layout rearranges the page, never its content. If the page is already built in the page builder, Events asks you to confirm before replacing it. Picking a classic layout then keeps the built page, and switching back to Custom mode brings it back. A layout applied here still needs Save Changes, unless you save it from the page builder.

Under the layout gallery, the Layout tab of Page design sets the page's shapes, what sits behind it, and whether it opens light or dark.

Shape & style:

• Corner radius: Sharp, Rounded (the default) or Pill. Exact corner radius overrides it in pixels, from 0 to 48; leave it blank to use the choice.
• Button style: Solid (the default), Outline or Soft. Button weight: Default, Medium, Semibold or Bold. Button corner radius: pixels from 0 to 48, or blank to match the cards. Uppercase buttons sets button labels in capitals.
• Card shadow: Flat, Subtle (the default) or Lifted. Border weight: None, Hairline (the default) or Medium.
• Spacing between sections: Compact, Comfortable (the default) or Spacious. Content width: Narrow, Standard (the default) or Wide.

Page background is Base (the page color, the default), Gradient, Image or Video. For an image or video, paste its link or choose Upload. A video plays muted and on a loop behind the content. Overlay sits between the media and your content: Page color (the default), Dark, Light or None. Overlay strength runs from 0% to 100% in steps of 5, starting at 80%.

Viewer theme sets the look visitors first see: Light, Dark or Follow system, the default, which uses each visitor's own device setting. Visitors can still switch with the light and dark button at the bottom right of the page, and their choice is remembered on their device for that event.

The Header & footer tab of Page design has three cards.

Site header is a brand bar across the top of the page:

• Show the header bar and Bottom rule, a hairline under the bar, are on by default. Stick to the top keeps the bar in view as the page scrolls.
• Layout: Left (the default) or Centered.
• Nav links: a label and a link for each, shown beside your logo in order. Add link adds one, the arrows reorder them and the trash icon removes one.
• Header button and Button links to: leave the label blank for no button.
• Bar background: a hex color, or blank to sit on the page background.

The bar only appears once it has a logo, a nav link or a header button. Stick to the top only takes effect when the bar has a background color.

Hero & cover arranges the top of the page. Hero style is Classic (the default), Banner, Centered or Minimal, and Ticket sidebar puts the tickets column on the Right (the default) or Left. Both apply only to the Classic layout, because the other layouts set their own top. Cover style (Gradient, Solid or Accent tint) fills the cover area when the event has no cover image, and Cover overlay (None, Dark scrim or Brand tint) shades a banner cover so the title on it stays readable.

Footer closes the page. Show Geiger branding keeps the Powered by Geiger Events line and is on by default. Footer text holds a copyright line or address. Social links pairs a platform (Instagram, X / Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitch, GitHub, Website or Email) with a link, and Footer links adds labeled links. A Standard page's footer always shows the Powered by Geiger Events line.

Import mode starts the page's look from an existing website. In Page design, choose Import; the first time, the Import a brand from a website dialog opens. Type the Website address, like acme.com, and choose Read site. If reading the site takes too long, Events says so: try again, or try a simpler page.

Events then shows what it found: logos to pick from, the colors, the fonts, corner and button shapes, the site's nav and footer links, and its tagline. Under What to apply, select the parts you want: Logo, Colors, Fonts, Shape, Layout, Site header, Footer and Imagery & text (hero image, tagline and favicon). A part the site doesn't have can't be selected. When the site has a share image and Shape is selected, Page background puts that image behind the page. Choose Apply to page, then Save Changes. Use only a brand you have the right to use.

Everything imported stays editable on the other tabs, and the site's own font joins the font choices on Typography. The Brand & logo card on the Brand tab, shown in Import mode or once the page has a logo, holds:

• Re-import, to read the site again.
• Header logo and Footer logo: paste an image link or upload one. An empty footer logo reuses the header logo.
• Logo size and Footer logo size: Small, Medium (the default) or Large. Logo links to: a link, or blank for none.
• Imported designs: every mark found on the site, with Header and Footer to put it in either place.
• Show in page header and Fall back to this logo in the footer, both on by default.

The Sections tab of Page design lists the page's sections, and the cards in the tickets column, in the order they appear. It's there in Themed, Import and Custom modes.

• The arrows move a section up or down, and the eye icon hides or shows it. Date & registration, the tickets card, can't be hidden.
• Photo gallery turns the gallery from Cover Media on or off.
• The pencil beside an event section renames its heading on the page.

In Custom mode the lists also take your own blocks. Add block inserts a content block, or puts back an event section you removed. The main column takes Heading, Text, Rich text, Two columns, Accordion, Button group, Spacer, Image, Video, Embed and Divider blocks; the tickets column takes Heading, Text, Rich text, Image, Button group, Divider and Spacer. The pencil on a block opens its settings, with Width (Full, Wide or Narrow), Alignment (Left, Center or Right) and Background (None, Card or Brand tint); choose Save block to keep them. The trash icon removes a block. Once the page is built in the page builder, the builder takes the place of these lists.

You can also rename a heading from its own section of the event editor. Under the section's title, Shown on your page as names the heading: click it, type the new one, and press Enter to save or Esc to cancel. The reset link beside it puts the default back. Renamed headings save straight away and show in every mode. A heading is up to 60 characters, and a blank one goes back to the default.

The headings you can rename are About this event, What to expect, Schedule, Location, Who's going, Guests, Frequently Asked Questions, Select ticket, Good To Know, At registration and Dietary & Accessibility.

The page builder lays out a Custom page visually, with sections, columns and blocks you drag into place. Open it from Page design: in Custom mode, choose Open builder on the Sections tab, or use Customize, Edit or Start from blank in the layout gallery. The first time, the builder turns the page's current sections into an editable layout. Nothing changes on the live page until you save.

• Add lists section shapes (1 to 4 columns, Narrow / wide, Wide / narrow and Content + sidebar) and blocks in six groups: Hero, Content, Event sections, Convert, Social proof, and Structure & custom. Click one to add it to the selected column, or drag it onto the page. Each block in Event sections, and the Sticky buy bar, can be on the page once.
• Outline reorders and hides whole sections, Layers shows every section, row, column and block, and Layouts swaps in a preset or saved layout after you confirm.
• Click anything on the page to select it. Its handles move, duplicate or delete it. Drag a column's edge to resize it in twelfths, or a scale handle to step a section's padding, a row's gap or a block's width.
• The panel on the right edits the selection, on Content, Style, Layout and Advanced tabs. Advanced holds the HTML id, CSS classes, a section's Anchor name for linking to it as #name, and a switch to hide it.
• Text fields with a Dynamic button insert live values, such as {{event.name}} or the lowest ticket price, which fill in on the page.

The Desktop, Tablet and Mobile buttons at the top switch the canvas size. Desktop is the base: a change made at Tablet applies to tablets and phones, and one made at Mobile to phones only. The reset icon beside a setting goes back to the inherited value.

Choose Save to put the page live, along with the rest of the page design. Closing with the × asks before discarding unsaved changes. Save as layout keeps the arrangement and theme for other events in the project: give it a Name and choose Save layout.

Custom code adds your own CSS, JavaScript and external files to the event page. In the page builder, choose Code. The Code button, and the Raw HTML block in the builder's Add panel, appear only for people whose role has the Add custom code to a page permission. By default, that's the Owner and Admin roles.

The first time, Events explains the risk: the code reaches every visitor exactly as written, and a script can read anything on the page, including what buyers type at registration. Choose I understand to continue, and add only code you wrote or trust.

• Run custom code on this page turns all of it on or off without deleting it.
• CSS applies on the live page and inside the builder, so your own classes show as you design.
• JavaScript runs once the live page has loaded. It never runs in the editor, so a mistake can't lock you out. A syntax error shows in red under the box.
• Resources loads stylesheets and scripts from links, in order, before your own code. Add adds a row: pick Script or Stylesheet and paste the link.

Choose Done, then Save in the builder to keep the code. It runs on the live page in Themed, Import and Custom modes, and not in Standard mode.

The cover is the large image or video at the top of the event page, and the gallery holds more photos and videos. In the event editor, open Cover Media. Everything here saves as you change it.

• Click the empty cover to upload an image or video, or choose Replace on an existing one. The upload box asks for 16:9, and images are compressed as they upload. A video cover plays muted and on a loop. Remove takes the cover off the page after you confirm, and can't be undone.
• To add to the gallery, choose Add media, then Upload media to pick several files, or Add from a link for an image link, a YouTube link or a direct video file. Type is Auto-detect, Image or Video: pick it when a video link has no file extension. Events doesn't add the same link twice.
• Hover over a gallery item for its controls. The star sets it as the cover (not for YouTube videos). The settings icon sets an image's Fit (Cover, Fit or Stretch), or a video's Autoplay, Muted and Loop. The × removes it after you confirm.
• The settings icon beside Add media opens Gallery layout: Grid (the default) or Carousel. A carousel has Slides across (1 to 4, default 3), Arrows, Dots, Loop and Autoplay, with Seconds per slide from 1 to 60 (default 5). Visitors whose device asks for reduced motion never get autoplay.

On the page, the gallery shows near the cover, and clicking an item opens it full screen: the arrow keys move through the items and Esc closes. To hide the gallery without deleting it, turn off Photo gallery on the Sections tab of Page design.

Only the person who created the event can upload or change its media. Everyone else sees Cover Media read-only, with Only the event's creator can upload or change its images.

Three sections of the event editor's Page group hold the page's main text.

Rich Description is the About this event section. Write in the box, then choose Save; the count under the box shows its length in characters. Saved Blocks inserts a ready-made passage where your cursor is: What to expect, How to get there, Refund policy or Code of conduct. On the page, a long description is cut short with Show more.

What to Expect fills a highlights card near the top of the page. Choose Add highlight, type the Highlight (required) and an optional Detail, then choose Add.

FAQ fills the Frequently Asked Questions section, a list visitors expand one question at a time. Choose Add question, type the Question (required) and its Answer, then choose Add.

In both lists, the arrows reorder items, the pencil edits one and the trash icon deletes it. Every change saves straight away, and a delete happens without asking.

The description and FAQ answers take simple formatting. Each line is its own paragraph; **bold** and *italic* style text; [text](https://…) makes a link; a line starting ## is a heading; and lines starting - or 1. make a list.

The Schedule section of the event page lists the event's running order. In the event editor, open Schedule and choose Add Item. Each item is one of three types:

• Standard: a Time, a Title (required), a Description and an optional image. Drop an image on the box or click to browse (PNG, JPG, GIF or WebP), then set its Position (Left, Right, Top or Behind) and Fit (Cover, Fit or Stretch). Times show on the page in 12-hour form, like 9:30 AM.
• Clip From Web: a piece of another public web page. Choose Clip a component from a URL, type the address and choose Load. Click the part you want, choose Use This Element, adjust how it looks or remove parts, then choose Use This Clip. Scripts, forms and embedded frames are always removed. A page that builds itself with JavaScript loads empty, so pick one that shows its content without it. Internal label names the item in your list only.
• Custom HTML: your own markup, shown as written. Scripts never run.

The preview beside the form shows the item as it will look. Choose Add Item, or press Ctrl Enter (⌘ Enter on Mac). Items save straight away. The arrows reorder them, the pencil edits one, and the trash icon deletes one without asking.

Schedule style, available once there's an item, applies to the whole section: Layout (List, Grid or Timeline), Gap (Tight, Normal or Wide), Frame (Boxed or Bare), and a Section note shown under the heading, such as the time zone. New schedules are a boxed list with normal gaps, and style changes save as you make them.

The Guests section of the event page features speakers and special guests. In the event editor, open Guests and choose Add guest.

• Name is required. Role / title, Company and Bio are optional.
• Upload adds a photo, and Replace and Remove change it. A guest without a photo shows their initials.

Choose Add guest to finish. The list saves as you change it: the arrows reorder guests, the pencil edits one, and the trash icon deletes one after you confirm. A deleted guest's photo goes too, and neither can be restored. The Guests section only shows on the page once there's a guest.

The settings icon beside Add guest opens Guest layout, with a live preview:

• Layout: Grid (the default) or List. Columns: 2, 3 (the default) or 4, for the grid.
• Shape: Square (the default), Portrait or Circle. Framing: Fill frame (the default) or Fit inside, which shows the whole image on a white tile and suits logos.
• Style: Plain (the default) or Card. Text alignment: Left (the default) or Center, for the grid.
• Show bios: on by default.

Guest layout changes save automatically, and Reset to default puts every choice back.

A section note adds a short explanation to one part of the event page. It shows as an "i" button beside the section's heading, which visitors click to read it. In the event editor, open Section Notes and choose Add note. Pick the Section (About this event, What to expect, Schedule, Location, Who's going, Guests, Sponsors, FAQ, Infographics, or the Tickets, Good To Know, At Registration or Dietary & Accessibility card), write the Note text, and choose Save notes.

Every note needs text before notes save. The switch on a note hides it without deleting it, and the trash icon deletes it straight away. The last note can't be deleted, so switch it off instead. If two notes point at the same section, only the first one that's switched on shows.

The Disclaimer section adds fine print to the page or to checkout. Turn on Show disclaimer, select where it appears, write the Text (each line becomes its own paragraph), and choose Save Disclaimer. The same text shows in every place you select:

• On the event page: Top of page, Below the hero, End of page content, Above the footer (the default) and Below the footer. End of page content doesn't show on a page built in the page builder.
• In checkout: Top of every step, Above the order summary, Under the pay button and On the confirmation.

The disclaimer is for reading only. To have buyers acknowledge terms before they pay, use Purchase Disclaimer, covered in Tickets.

Infographics are designed blocks that show on the event page after its other sections. In the event editor, open Infographics, choose Add infographic, and pick a type:

• Info carousel: slides, each with a title, text, background image and optional button. Display shows a Row of slides or One at a time, and Auto-advance slides moves them once the section is in view.
• Split CTA: a heading, text and button beside an image, on the side you choose.
• Quotes showcase: testimonials with a quote, name, role and photo, in a grid of 2 to 4 columns or one at a time.
• Footer band: a closing block of links, optional logos and a note.
• Info showcase: cards in a grid or flex layout of 1 to 6 columns, or one at a time. Open full showcase on click opens a card full screen.

Every type takes a Section title and Title alignment. The dialog previews the infographic as you type; choose Add infographic, or Save changes when editing. Infographics save straight away. The arrows reorder them, the pencil edits one, and the trash icon deletes one after you confirm. A deleted infographic can't be restored.

Infographics don't show on a page built in the page builder.

The Location section of the event page shows the venue, a map and how to get there. In the event editor, open Map & Directions in the Location group.

• The map is pinned where Location & Time places the venue, or centered on the venue's address when there's no pin. The Open in buttons open the address in Google Maps, Apple Maps or Citymapper.
• Nearby Amenities looks up public transport, parking, cycling, taxis, EV charging, hotels, and food and drink near the address, puts them on the map and saves them straight away. It needs a venue address first.
• A weather forecast for the event day shows when one is available.
• Extra transport notes and Parking notes cover what the map misses. Choose Save to keep them.

On the page, the Location section shows the venue name and address, the map, the forecast, the nearby places, and your notes under Getting there and Parking. The venue and its address are set in Location & Time; see Events and Venues & sourcing.

The event page's address ends in /events/e/ followed by the event's ID. To open it, choose the external-link icon at the top of the event editor (View live page), and copy the address from the new tab to share it. Visitors don't need to sign in to open the page.

Who can open the page depends on the event's visibility, not its status:

• A Public or Unlisted event's page opens for anyone with the link, whatever the event's status, Draft included.
• A Private event's page opens only for your teammates, signed in. Everyone else sees Event not found, as they do for a deleted event.

Visibility is set in the event editor's Visibility section; see Visibility and publishing.

The live page refreshes from your saved event at most every 10 seconds, so a saved change can take a couple of reloads to show.

On the page, Share at the top, or in the site header when the page has one, opens the device's share options or copies the link.

At the top of the event page, buyers see the cover and gallery, the event's title, date, time and venue, and a row of hosts: Hosted by the organizer, then any co-hosts from Co-hosts & Admins. Follow beside them lets a visitor leave an email address to hear about your new events; see Event Wall & Discovery. When the event uses a saved venue, clicking the venue opens its details.

The page's sections follow, with the tickets card beside them. The tickets card shows the date with a countdown, the tickets with their prices (Free for a free ticket), and how many tickets remain, unless Show tickets remaining is turned off in Registration Settings.

To buy, a visitor picks a ticket and chooses Get Tickets, or Register for a free ticket. Checkout opens over the page. The button reads Sold out once nothing is left. Some layouts also keep a Get tickets bar at the bottom of the screen. Paid orders finish on Stripe and return to the event page to confirm. If the buyer cancels payment, the page tells them they haven't been charged. Ticket choices, the tickets card's buttons and the checkout steps are covered in Tickets.

A Themed, Import or Custom page also has a light and dark button at the bottom right, and a visitor's choice is remembered on their device for that event.

Formatting in Rich Description, FAQ answers and Rich text blocks:

• Each line is its own paragraph
• **bold** and *italic*
• [link text](https://…) for a link starting https://, http://, mailto:, tel:, / or #
• ##, ### or #### and a space start a heading
• - or * and a space start a bullet, and 1. a numbered item

Page builder shortcuts:

• Ctrl Z (⌘ Z on Mac) undoes, and Ctrl Shift Z (⌘ Shift Z) redoes
• Ctrl D (⌘ D) duplicates the selection
• Delete or Backspace deletes the selection
• Esc clears the selection

Other shortcuts: Ctrl Enter (⌘ Enter) saves a schedule item, Enter saves a renamed heading and Esc cancels it, and in the page's full-screen gallery the arrow keys move between items and Esc closes it.

Limits:

• Section headings: up to 60 characters
• Uploaded images are compressed to under 500 KB; videos and logos upload as they are
• Gallery carousel: 1 to 4 slides across, 1 to 60 seconds per slide
• Page background overlay: 0% to 100% in steps of 5
• Exact corner radius and button corner radius: 0 to 48 pixels
• Page builder canvas: Desktop 1280 px, Tablet 834 px and Mobile 390 px wide; columns resize in twelfths, and undo keeps the last 50 steps

Uploading a cover, gallery item, guest photo, schedule image or page background fails with a message that only the event's creator can add media, or a logo upload fails with Couldn't upload that image.

Events lets only the person who created an event upload files for it. Everyone else can edit the rest of the page, and sees Cover Media read-only.

To fix it, do one of these:

• Ask the person who created the event to upload the files.
• Where a field takes a link, paste the image's address instead: the Image URL or Video URL for the page background on the Layout tab of Page design, the Header logo and Footer logo on the Brand tab, and image fields in infographics and page blocks.
