STEP 1:
STEP 2:
To finish tying the website to the event, you must set up the redirect.
WEBSITE SETTINGS
Click the little gear icon at the top right of the editor
Make sure your website is linked to an event (event = registration website)
Click on the Advanced Settings tab
Add a custom URL (typically “clientnamelocationyear”)
Add a favicon, if applicable (typically small little logo of client) -- This needs to be a square design. If your logo is not square, it will stretch it.
Click save and exit
NAVIGATION BAR SETTINGS
Hover over the navigation bar and click Customize
Click the Add a Menu Item button
Chose registration link from drop down menu
Name the menu item “Register Here!”
Event Name/ID- search for the correct registration website and link it
Click Save Menu Item
Click Continue
Click the Menu Options tab
Add a custom logo (needs to contrast well with nav bar / typically an all white logo)
Click Continue
THEME EDITOR
When choosing a color scheme, you’re going to want to first ask the sales person to request the client trip logo. You’ll either match it to their trip logo, or if they are using their standard company logo, you’ll want to come up with a proper color scheme based on the location of the event. If they have a custom designed trip logo, you’ll want to match the color scheme to it.
UPDATE: The font for everything should be Century Gothic 16px.
UPDATE: Color combos to avoid
HERO SECTION (very top section)
Here we typically have a very pretty picture of the destination/hotel. This photo sets the first impression, so be particular about what you chose! A trip logo/client logo usually sits on top, so you’ll want to think about the pairing of the two when making your selection.
For the photo, you may need to add a layer of a color on top to help contrast the logo. Do this by opening the image in Photoshop, adding a new layer, coloring the layer (probably black), then adjusting the transparency down really low. Save image for web as a JPEG at 2000 pixels wide.
Even if you don’t add a color on top of the image, you’ll need to size the image down to 2000 pixels wide no matter what. Load time is important—don’t put a huge photo here.
Logo placement: You’ll want to add a logo as an image to the top of the hero. Failure to add as an image will result in the logo not sizing down for mobile/tablet.
UPDATE: Mobile friendly is a priortity! Always check out the image/logo resize to make sure it works well on mobile. Adjust accordingly if the text is hard to read when adapted to a smaller screen.
UPDATE: HOME PAGE
Use the most recent template to create the home page. Utilize AI to write up copy for each section. Design this deliberately targeted to this client/destination. Don't make it cookie-cutter and too much as if its just a copy/paste template. AI can help wrap the client name into descriptions, as needed.
**When proofing sites for yourself and peers, proof first on the computer, but then proof the marketing again for formatting on mobile.
Parallax sections using containers with background images do not resize for mobile on iPhones. This will hopefully be fixed someday.
AGENDA TAB
The agenda is updated in the event settings but the colors and style is updated in the website settings. Update info based on the contract using standard lingo—check other events as an example if needed.
UPDATE: FLIGHT TAB
Adjust wording on this page to match what the contract is offering. Carefully read the text after you adjust to make sure it flows well and would be understandable to the attendee reading it. Look at it through the eyes of a traveler without a lot of experience.
FAQ TAB
Update FAQs based on what is listed in the contract. Highlight any missing info in yellow so those questions can be addressed in the Kick Off meeting. You’ll want to click on all hyperlinks to make sure they work and open in a New Window rather than the Same Window. Make sure the hyperlink color stands out—on both the FAQ page and the main home page.
On the FAQ about travel insurance, always be sure to update the URL to include the program code at the very end.
Make sure to fill out as many of the settings as you can on the Event Overview/ Event Info/Basic Details page
Event Info / Basic Details
Event Name, Event Code, Event URL, and Event Type should all be filled out
Event Date & Time need to be accurate – double check time zone VERY IMPORTANT
Under Links & Contact Info, enter the customized URL into the Event Home Page section
Check mark “link the Registration Time-out page to the event home page specified above
UPDATE: Also check mark the first item to link the event logo to the home page
Event Info / Event Emails
Make sure the correct logo is showing in each email within the event.
UPDATES:
Event Info / Registrant Rules
Match these settings (if we aren't allowing them to come back and modify registration details)
UPDATE: If you are allowing them to come in and add flight details, adjust settings to only allow edits to the Travel Booking and have the landing page be the flight/travel booking page.
Categories
Create categories for:
Main Attendee
Could be modified later to Qualifier or something similar
Complimentary Guest
Additional Guest Sharing Room
If there are multiple age ranges, they can be added as sub-categories with fees attached to each age group
Event Staff
May or may not be used. Usually for larger groups you’ll have sub-categories for MMI Staff and the ClientName Staff
In the individual category settings, the category name is what shows to the front-end user and the category reference is important for Operations in reporting. Category Reference should be 1MAIN, 2GUEST, 3/4GUEST, STAFF. Make sure you settings match this:
Further down in the settings, be sure to alter the visibility settings for the appropriate category types. Main Guests should only show to the Primary/Lead Registrant. Complimentary Guest/Additional Guest Sharing Room should only show to Additional/subsequent registrants.
Match these settings:
Depending on how many guests are allowed per registration, alter the number to match the TOTAL group size. Update the “When a registrant selects this category” to follow the order registration should flow. Example: Main Guest -> Complimentary Guest -> Additional Guest Sharing Room
Attendee Info / Active Questions
Match question settings to template-- most likely the registration was cloned over from the template so only customized edits need to be made.
Email Question: Email needs to be required for any Main Guests but optional for guests. Be sure to require email address for “no category selected” since on the first page of registration they have not chosen a category yet. Also, the setting needs to be added to only use the same email address once.
If you’re not using certain questions on this page, be sure to move them to the Inactive Questions section so that the area is clean.
Update question short names! This makes reporting prettier.
When copying in the release agreement, make it pretty on top. Pull this text from the client contract.
Create an event password (used for modification and app purposes)
Make visible to all attendee categories
Visibility by user type – only admin (uncheck Public)
Default value = PASSWORD (ie vivintmexico – use lowercase, make it unique to program)
A merge code should already be selected.
Check mark “Copy this field into the record of each member of the group”
Agenda & Options / Agenda/Sessions
If the client is doing any tour options, build them into the agenda section. This will allow it to carry over into their personal agenda on the mobile app.
The format of the question must be Single Session (Checkbox). This allows them to select it in registration and allows you to capacity control it.
If you don’t want the option to show on the marketing website, you have to uncheck Website/eMobile Public Agenda in the visibility settings. Eventually we will have to turn this back on for it to show in the app, though.
**NOTE about golf setup: If you build golf as an activity option, always have a sub-question asking club preference. Left-Handed Clubs, Right-Handed Clubs, or Bringing Own Clubs
Agenda & Options / Locations
If the events on your agenda are taking place in a certain location, you must first add that to this section. Then, in the Agenda/Sessions settings you can choose the option from a dropdown menu.
Agenda & Options / Options
Match the fees to the template fees / should already be set up.
Hotel & Travel / Hotel Settings
Adjust header text to match the event parameters. You'll need to get a cost from the EC/Sales for extending their stay.
UPDATE: Build one generic room to have everyone flow into with FULL # of rooms we have each night from contract – you’ll have to add them all together to get the total (visible). Build all contracted rooms with correct capacities (not visible to public).
Make the hotel only visible to the Main Guest.
If it is a cruise, replace any text on the page that says “hotel”, update the Check In Date to say Cruise Start Date, and update the Check Out Date to Cruise End Date. Make sure the bedding question doesn’t say anything about a hotel.
Update the Check In/ Check Out dates to default to the program dates. If the group has multiple arrival/departure dates, you can change the settings to have certain dates for certain categories.
Hotel & Travel / Travel Settings
Update Outbound Destination Airport to be match the parameters of the event.
Update Outbound Departure Date to match the dates of the event. If the group has multiple arrival/departure dates, you can change the settings to have certain dates for certain categories.
Update Return Destination Airport to be match the parameters of the event.
Update Return Departure Date to match the dates of the event. If the group has multiple arrival/departure dates, you can change the settings to have certain dates for certain categories.
If using "flights on own", update header text and necessary template text.
UPDATES:
Fees & Payment / Standard Fees
You can tie price points to different categories, options, or sessions (agenda items).
Any options need $1 assigned to them.
Fees & Payment / Payment Settings
The only payment method should be Credit Card.
Under Other Payment Information, use this code for Terms & Conditions and Cancellation Policy. Update the Cancellation policy to match the program parameters.
T&C:
Please note charges will appear on your bank statement from Morris Meetings & Incentives.
Cancellation Policy:
From day booking through DATE - You may cancel or change your registration online and receive a full refund.
DATE - DATE - You must submit your cancellation request via email. Cancellations will be subject to a 25% penalty.
DATE - DATE - You must submit your cancellation request via email. Cancellations will be subject to a 50% penalty.
DATE until departure: 100% penalty.
Fees & Payment / Invoice Settings
UPDATE: Make sure your invoice is set to Arial Unicode in the settings (this will help it render correctly for all languages)
If you have a multilingual event, you must update the invoice to carry over the code per language.
The invoice should look like the image below.
Address: Custom Text
Second section: Custom text w/merge fields
Event name: Custom text w/merge fields
Bottom section: T&C and Cancellation policy merge fields.
Look & Feel / Headers/Footers
Typically, you’ll at least have one Header in this section—Additional Attendee Page header. Update this section to match the event parameters.
There is one Welcome Page header in there that has coding, don’t touch it.
If you need to create floating instruction text on any page, use this section to make those.
Every page in registration should have a header font at the top telling what page they are on. I.E.: ATTENDEE INFO, RELEASE AGREEMENT, ACCOMMODATION INFO, FLIGHT INFO, GUEST INFO, PAYMENT PAGE, CONFIRMATION PAGE
Advanced Settings / General settings
Settings here should be set how they should be, no further edits need to be made.
Advanced Settings / Language & wording
If you need to adjust the standard website text, you do it in this section. You can CTRL+F the phrase you want to change to find it. Typically, I like to get rid of the following and use a “blank value”.
Register an additional attendee
Edit the phrase “Will you be registering any other attendees for this event?” to say “Will you be bringing a complimentary guest with you to EVENTLOCATION?”
Advanced Settings / Pre-Approved Data
If the client would like only certain people to be able to register, this is the section to add that info. First, checkmark the main attendee category that is getting regulated and then click “Manage Pre-Approved Data” to paste the email addresses of those allowed in that category. Sometimes there will be multiple categories that have specific emails allowed per category. Some categories might not need to be check marked and anyone can register through that category.
Advanced Settings / Pre-load Data
Pre-load data is used if the client would like to upload information to an individual to have a field pre-populated during registration. This is frequently used by groups like Nu Skin when they want to pre-load their Distributor ID and lock the field so they can’t edit it. WGU also utilizes this A LOT to pre-load all sorts of fields like Manager, Supervisor, Department, Assigned Arrival Date, Assigned Departure Date, and WGU Notes. You upload data by clicking “Pre-load from event specific database” and then “Import Data”. Follow the instructions from there. NEVER UPLOAD FIRST NAME OR LAST NAME. That should always be freshly filled out by the attendee to ensure their flights are ticketed with the correct name.

Testing the app
In order to test the app from your phone you must change the status from Pre-Event to Live
Upon entering the app, make sure these items look good:
Splash screen looks crisp and the client logo isn’t cut off in any way
Once in the app the navigation bar logo looks good
The background color matches the branding
The icon tiles all line up and look good – the color at the bottom and the text on top look good and the text is readable
The agenda icon is showing the days day by day and not one continuous agenda
Points of interest has content in it
UPDATE: The Event Website icon links to the website easily and opens into an external browser
Once you have verified all looks ok, send Courtney the admin user name/password to test the app
UPDATE: When sending for proofing, create a user like so:
User: admin
Password: 123
Only share this information with Event Tech. Do not share with EC/Sales unless necessary. If you do share it with them, include a disclaimer about logging out after testing and not sharing details with the client.
MULTILINGUAL FUNCTIONALITY:
This can help you determine a time frame to tell the client. Failure to follow the timeline could result in the translation process taking longer and increasing the chance of errors.
Step 1: Event Tech will fully build a website in English. After which, it must be completely approved by our team and the client. No further changes expected.
Step 2: Once a client gives full approval of the English website, Event Tech needs 2-3 business days to take all the English website text and plug it into an Excel sheet.
Step 3: Once the Excel spreadsheet is completed, Event Tech will send it back to have the client start working on it.
CLIENT WORKS ON TRANSLATIONS
Step 4: Once Event Tech receives the completed spreadsheet back, they need 4-5 business days to plug the text from the Excel spreadsheet into Aventri and test out everything.
Step 5: Event Tech will send the links to the different language versions of the website for the client and their translation team to test out. They will likely have a couple little edits.
Step 6: Approval of all languages and launch.
Its hard to say exactly how long the translation process takes because it is unknown how long the client will take to do their portion. The most important thing to note is that Event Tech really need that 4-5 business days to plug the translations in and test everything out. If Event Tech completes it sooner, they will most definitely send it over earlier.
Please always have the modifications be set like this (shown below)—and never change it. The modification settings effect both logging back into registration and accessing the mobile app.
If you were changing the settings because you don’t know what the event password for an event is, here is a step-by-step guide to determine the event’s password for modification:
When a website/registration has been approved to launch, please complete the following mandatory steps!
Clear test registrations
Clear incomplete registrations
Turn on pre-approved data based on the main category or categories so that only certain email addresses can register (IF THIS IS HOW THEY WANT IT SET UP-- which they usually do, but sometimes don't)
Change status to live
Check confirmation email and incomplete registration email to triple check all is filled in and ready
Double check the time zone is correct
Check invoice to make sure the cancellation policy has been updated
Email Event Support, Event Coordinator, Flight Coordinator, Sales Exec, Johanna, Michelle, and Courtney to let us know the website is live and basically say "if the EC hasn't conducted a pre-launch meeting, it needs to happen ASAP."
Update the Master List document, column Status, with "Live"
First, you'll have to create the anchor point. The anchor point is the place where the user end up after clicking a link. For this page, the anchor point is the header of this section called Creating an anchor link. Highlight the header text and click the Flag button to create an anchor. Name the anchor one word descriptive of the sectin. This anchor was called "anchor".
Second, you need to create the link they click to get to the anchor. For this example, the link is at the top under Quick Links. You'll highlight the link text, click the link button to add a hyperlink, choose Link to anchor under the Link Type drop down, and choose the correct anchor.
Done!
