This article discusses the elements that can be added to Event Page Builder.
Elements
Elements are different text, images, and icons that can be added to the event page. Some elements use the settings found in the site i.e. social sharing icons and other elements allow HQ admins to customize how they are displayed and appear on the page.
Types of Elements
Social Sharing Icons
Add social sharing icons to an event page with the social sharing element and encourage registrants to share the event page with their social networks. When the social sharing element is added to the event page, all or some social sharing icons are displayed on the event page (this is dictated by the Social Network Sharing settings configured on the admin dashboard). An HQ admin cannot change the order of the social share icons, but they can change the color of the icons.
Event Tags
Add event tags to the event page using the event tags element. Event tags are used to identify specific keywords that describe and categorize the event more precisely and make them easier to find. An HQ admin cannot change the order of the event tags from the event page builder; the order is controlled from the event’s dashboard, but they can change the color of the event tags.
Event Venue Chip
Add event venue information to the event page with the event venue chip element. The event venue chip displays one of the following hybrid, virtual, or in-person event types. The HQ admin can change the color of the event venue chip.
Text
Add static content to an event page with the text element. The static text does not automatically update on the event page and must be manually updated by the HQ admin or someone with event page builder permissions. Within the text settings, the HQ admin can customize the following settings.
-
Text Style - In the text style drop-down, the HQ admin can assign the body or heading style to the selected text. Heading styles 1 through 5 are supported in the page builder.
-
Font - In the font drop-down, the HQ admin can assign a specific font to the selected text. Only font styles enabled on your Bevy site will show in the list.
-
Text Size - The HQ admin can adjust the text size of the selected text. Sizes 12 - 80 are supported in the page builder.
-
Text Color - The HQ admin can adjust the text color of the selected text. The text color can be changed by entering the hex color code, the RGB color code, or selecting a color from the color picker.
-
Text Align - The HQ admin can adjust the alignment of the text. For example, the event page builder supports the left, center, and right alignment.
-
Style - The HQ admin can add bold, italic, or underlined styles to the selected text.
-
Insert link -The HQ admin can display text as hyperlinks via the insert link drop-down. Hyperlinked text can direct the page viewer to a custom URL, the chapter page URL, or the Join virtual event URL.
-
Lists – The HQ admin can add content to the event page as a bulleted or numbered list.
Video
The HQ admin can add embedded videos to any event page builder page with the video element. Visitors can watch the video on your event page without leaving the current page. Select Custom URL from the drop-down to embed video content from an external video platform like YouTube, Vimeo, or Vidyard. Select wrap-up video from the drop-down to embed video content from the Bevy event dashboard. Video content can not be uploaded into Bevy.
The height of the embedded video cannot be adjusted, only the width, by setting the percentage in the video width setting.
Button
Add button(s) to the event page that encourages viewers to engage with content further down the event page or other community web pages. Buttons are a visual addition to your event page, making it easier for viewers to know where to click.
When adding a button to the event page, the HQ admin can configure the button to link to another webpage, a location (anchor) on the same event page, to the contact chapter, or to join the virtual event.
Buttons can be left, center, or right aligned, and one of two button styles can be selected. The available button styles in the event page builder are consistent with the established button styles throughout your Bevy Instance. Additional button styles are not supported.
-
Custom URL - Select Custom URL from the list to link viewers to content outside Bevy or a specific location on your Bevy instance.
-
Anchor - An anchor is a web page element that links the viewer to another location on the same page. Anchors improve the event page user experience because visitors can jump to specific parts of the page without having to scroll as much. An anchor can be applied to any section heading on the event page.
-
Join Virtual Event - Select join the virtual event from the list to create an automatic link for attendees to join your virtual event. When the button's configured to use the join virtual event link, the button will be inactive until the attendee's eligible to join the upcoming event.
-
Contact Chapter - Configuring a button to use the contact chapter option allows viewers to email the event's chapter organizer. When the button's selected, a form opens on the user's screen.
Image
The HQ admin can add images to any event page builder page with the image element. In addition, the HQ admin can add new images to the event page using the custom image upload. Custom images must be 2MB or smaller and have a supported file format of .jpg, .png, or .svg. Alternatively, an existing event banner or event thumbnail can be added to the event canvas. Images can be left, center, or right-aligned.
-
Alt text - Alt text is written copy describing an image's appearance on a page providing context for search engines, and is also read aloud by screen readers.
-
Image width - The height of the image cannot be adjusted, only the width, by setting the percentage in the image width setting.
-
Rounded corners - Define the radius of the corners of an element with the round corner settings.
Divider
Add the divider element to add a line to group content or create sections on the event page. The divider can be aligned left, right, or center and styled with width, drop shadow, and color settings.
Dynamic Text

-
Attendee audience type

Event Title
