Here are a few ways that our event organizers use the Events Calendar for their events:

– Show a category of events (e.g., topic A, topic B, or topic C)

– Show events for a specific event location (i.e., a venue)

The Events Calendar adjusts its display across different devices

Why the Events Calendar?

Events are a powerful way to invest and therefore grow your organization, and a solution like Event Smart can make that a reality for you.

For a nonprofit organization or a charity, an annual fundraiser like a banquet or a gala can be the difference between having enough funds to support the group’s mission for the next year.

And for a business, an events solution that gets the job done is just as important.

Event Smart and the Events Calendar are the tools in your toolbox for organizing and hosting events.

How do you plan to invest in your business or organization’s events?

Your answer could take you on a path to an event’s solution that works for you around the clock, or you can try piecing together various products and hope that it works.

Our event organizers choose the Events Calendar so they can show their events on an calendar with beautiful featured images so their attendees can browse by date and begin their event registrations.

We used Event Smart for our Annual National Conference. It was easy to use and had all the features we needed for a multiple-day event with numerous concurrent sessions. It had multiple pricing levels and promo codes were easy to apply. The dashboard was a little complex but there were plenty of tutorials and their customer service was on top of it, very prompt in responses. – Jabbar Beig

How to Use Custom CSS

Sometimes you want to customize your Event Smart theme a little bit, like changing a font color or a font style. If these theme changes are not possible in the theme by default, you can use custom CSS to overwrite or add new CSS properties to the theme styles.

How does it work?

First you should already know some basic CSS, that way customizing your theme and adding your own CSS styles is really not too difficult.

In your Event Smart admin, you will find a new menu button “Custom CSS” under Appearance. Here you can start to add your custom CSS styles.

The post <i class="dashicons dashicons-admin-customizer"></i>Custom CSS appeared first on Event Smart.

Basic themes allow you to:

• Customize the fonts in your theme with ease
• Apply a custom color palette
• Add a background pattern
• Show off a custom header image
• Add widgets (e.g. tools) like a list of upcoming events, or a small event calendar, etc. in pre-determined areas of your theme
• Organize the navigation menus to showcase your content and events.

All themes are designed to be “mobile responsive”. The theme will adjust based on the size and orientation of the device viewing the website.

Example Themes:

Eighties
