The Online Lounge is an extra homepage for your event website. Visitors land directly on one central page with the most relevant information, such as the guest list, the program, and posts from the timeline.
The Online Lounge is available as an add-on for €950 excluding VAT per event. You can request this add-on via [email protected].
What is the Online Lounge?
The Online Lounge gives visitors an immediate overview of the most important parts of your event. Instead of the standard Homepage, they see one central page with widgets that display information from other parts of the website.
Please note: The Online Lounge replaces the regular Homepage as soon as you activate it. The Online Lounge and the Homepage cannot be active at the same time.
Where can you find the Online Lounge?
You can find the "Lounge" in the Website Module, above the Homepage.
Like the Homepage, the Online Lounge is built from multiple widgets. These widgets use existing information from other pages within your event website.
Available widgets
You can add the following widgets to the Online Lounge:
Guest list
Displays a selection of guests from the guest list. Visitors can click directly from this widget to the full guest list.
Program

Personal Program
Visitors can mark program items as favorites using the star icon. This allows them to create their own personal program.
Please note: The personal program is not automatically filled with registration details, such as selected workshops. Visitors need to create this themselves.

Please note: If you choose a background image, the widgets will be placed over the image with light transparency. As a result, some parts of the background may be less visible.
