Website
Create and edit your conference's public website — pick a template (or start from scratch) the first time, then customize everything in the website builder.
Purpose
The Website sub-tab is where you build and maintain your conference's public website. The first time you open it, you choose a starting template from a gallery (or start from a blank canvas). After that, the sub-tab opens the website builder, where you customize pages, content, and styling.
When you use it
Use the Website sub-tab when you're standing up your conference's public page for the first time, and any time afterward to update it — refreshing content, adding pages, or adjusting the design as your conference evolves.
Walkthrough
- 1
Open the Communications tab and select the Website sub-tab.
- 2
If your site isn't set up yet, you'll see the Website Builder setup screen with a Choose a Template gallery. Each card shows the template's name, description, and a color preview.
- 3
Click a template card to select it (the gallery defaults to Workshop Modern), then click Use Template to create your site from it — or click Start from Scratch to begin with a blank canvas. You can customize everything later either way.
- 4
Once initialized, the sub-tab opens the website builder, where you edit pages, sections, content, and styling for your conference site.
- 5
Return to this sub-tab any time to keep editing — it re-opens directly into the builder with your existing site loaded.
Tips
Don't overthink the template choice. It only sets your initial pages and color scheme — you can change colors, content, and layout afterward in the builder, so pick whichever is closest and refine from there.
This sub-tab is for building the site. Your conference's public visibility follows its status — the Dashboard's Conference Status card shows whether the page reads "Public" or "Preview Only" (Draft conferences are preview-only).
This sub-tab is the entry point; the builder itself — templates, pages, sections, click-to-edit, color themes, and publishing — is covered in the Website Builder guide. Start with Website Builder.
