What is an Event Website?

Every Event in Eventene has an Event Website — a permanent web page that Eventene generates automatically when you create the Event. The Event Website is one of the ways participants can discover and register for your Event.

You don't have to build the Event Website. As soon as you create an Event, the page exists with a permanent URL. Adjusting the Event's settings changes what visitors see when they open the link.

What the Event Website is for

The Event Website is an attendee-facing landing page for your Event, and attendees can register on it directly. It is one of three ways attendees reach a registration:

Entry point How it works
Email invitation An attendee clicks the Register (or similarly labeled) button in an email and is taken directly to their standalone registration form
Event Website link An attendee opens the Event Website's URL — from a shared link, a social-media post, or your own website — and presses Register on the page itself
Eventene mobile app An attendee opens the Eventene mobile app and sees the Event in their list

The Event Website is the entry point you use when you want to share or promote your Event publicly. The URL is permanent — you can put it on your organization's website, in social media posts, in printed materials, or wherever helpful.

Sharing your Event Website

Open the Event's Summary page. The Promote Event card on the right gives you the Event Website URL with a one-click Copy button, a View Website button that opens the public site in a new tab, a Share… action that uses your device's native share sheet (and falls back to copying the link), and a QR Code you can copy, download as a PNG, or print on a ready-made flyer. Paste or post the link — or the QR code — anywhere helpful.

Building your Event Website content

What visitors read on your Event Website — the overview, schedule, travel details, FAQ, and so on — is made up of one or more Pages, edited in the Pages workspace. From there you create, rename, reorder, hide, and richly format each Page. See Managing Event Pages.

What visitors see depends on your settings

Two Event settings together determine what a visitor sees when they open your Event Website:

  • Event Visibility — who can view the Event's details (Invitees Only, or Everyone)
  • Event Registration — who can register for the Event (Invite Only, or Open)

Both settings are in Edit Event. The combination of the two produces three useful patterns:

Private Event (default)

  • Event Visibility: Invitees Only
  • Event Registration: Invite Only

This is the default for new Events. When a visitor opens the link:

  • If they're invited, they see the full Event details and can press Register to sign up
  • If they're not invited, they see only the Event name — no details, no registration

Use this for member-only events, internal organization events, and any context where the guest list is fixed.

Private Event with a public website

  • Event Visibility: Everyone
  • Event Registration: Invite Only

The Event details are visible to anyone with the link, but registration is still restricted to invitees. Useful when:

  • You want to publicize the Event (build awareness, share details for context)
  • But you still want to control who actually attends (members only, registered participants only, RSVPs by invitation only)

Someone who isn't invited and tries to register sees a friendly message that no invitation could be found for their email address, along with a suggestion to check which mailbox the invitation went to. See Configure Registration for Invite-Only Events.

Public Event

  • Event Visibility: Everyone
  • Event Registration: Open

Anyone with the link can both view the Event and register. Best for:

  • Public conferences, workshops, fundraisers
  • Open community events
  • Any Event you want to grow attendance for via shared links

A first-time attendee presses Register and begins with nothing more than an email address — no account to create first.

Changing the settings

Both settings are in Edit Event:

  1. Open your Event in the Web App
  2. Click the pencil icon in the Event header to open Edit Event
  3. Find Event Visibility and Event Registration
  4. Choose the combination you want
  5. Save

You can change the settings at any time — even mid-Event. For example, you might run an Event as Private during pre-registration, then switch to Public if you decide to open it up.

Registering from the Event Website

The Event Website's main button reflects where the attendee stands:

  • Register — no registration exists yet
  • View Registration — a registration already exists, and this is how they get back to it

Pressing either opens registration over the page, so the attendee never leaves your Event's site. The registration itself is personalized: each attendee sees only the Activities they have access to, with their own attendance state and registration history.

Registration begins with an email address. What follows depends on whether Eventene already knows that address — a returning or invited attendee verifies it with a 6-digit code first, while a first-time attendee at a public Event simply gives their name and continues.

For the full organizer's walk-through, see Add Registration to Your Event Website.

The Event Website and standalone registration forms

The Event Website isn't the only way to register, and it doesn't replace the alternative. A standalone registration form — reached through the direct registration link in an invitation email — is still fully supported, and is the better choice for private Events or any Event where you'd rather not put a public page in front of the registration.

Both use the same registration setup underneath. See Choose How Attendees Register.

Do attendees need an Eventene account?

Not to register. Whichever route they take:

  • Email invitation: No account needed — they register directly from the email
  • Public Event Website link: No account needed — they start with an email address and give their name
  • Private Event Website link: They must be on the invite list, and will verify their email address before their registration is shown

An account is only relevant for attendees who want the ongoing experience — the Eventene mobile app, and a single place to see every Event they take part in.

When a visitor is logged in

Visitors who are logged in see which account they're using. The top-right corner of the Event Website, next to the language selector, shows their profile picture — or their initials, if they haven't added one — alongside their name. Opening it shows their name and email address, a link to their events, and Log Out.

Logging out returns them to the same Event Website, where the corner becomes a Log In link. On a phone the corner shows just the picture or initials, with the name and email inside the menu.

Visitors who aren't logged in see Log In instead, and can still read the Event Website and register without it.

For the attendee-facing version, see Your Account on an Event Website.

A note on terminology

Event Websites have existed in Eventene since late 2019. The auto-generation of a permanent URL per Event was introduced in v2.9 (December 2019), and Public Events with Open Registration arrived in v3.0 (February 2020). Registration directly on the Event Website — the Register / View Registration experience described above — arrived in v4.11, along with the account control described above.
