Editor overview

Getting acquainted with the editor layout is essential so you can quickly design your registration page. The table below enlists all the functions in the editor:

In the middle, you have the content editor. You can edit everything that you see here. You drag and drop widgets or click on them to view the editing options.

Edit page contents

It is essential to build a page that is responsive to all devices. Regardless of the template, your page is arranged into grids of rows and columns, which you can move around. The changes you make to any element on the page are applied only to that element.

To edit any element, click on the content that shows you the context menu to make changes.

• On the top-left corner of any row, you can find the row options; you can
  • Move rows/columns
  • Add/delete rows and columns. You can add up to 4 columns per row.
  • Resize a row/column. To resize a row, click on the row/column separator between two rows/columns and drag to resize.
  • Edit the design of the row/column, such as background, layout, and spacing.

Edit theme settings

Using the theme settings, you can make design changes that apply to all page elements and override the settings made here by making edits to individual locations. You can edit the following:

• Colors: The colors used in the page are shown here. You can add more colors to this section to reuse them as required.

Then there are Popups, which, as the name suggests, are interactive elements that pop over a page, which usually require the user to take action. You can view details about individual popups by hovering over them in the list.

Edit widgets

Widgets are your best friend when asking users to take action, especially on an event registration page. You can drag and drop a widget into the grids. To edit a widget, click a widget to open the edit option. You can:
