What is it

It’s a collection of widgets, design options and tools to help you layout pages better.

The 1 page Home Page:

It is now possible to set the page template to “Full Width” and create a Home Page that lists all the key content from the Event. The page is split up into sections and then filled with content from the website.

Example: Internet of things, DWTC: http://www.iotx.ae/

Visual Page editor

Each section within a page can be assigned:

Full Width Y/N and padding options
Background colour, image or video content

Each section then becomes a container to fill with content. The sections can be split into columns, each column with a width of 1/6, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2.

Content can then be added:

What does it cost

2. Add the category filter to the Exhibitor List Button

A full set of features with each of the 3 Mira.cx themes.

Say you want to track the number of hits to a particular URL (e.g. www.yoururl.com/abc). Or maybe you want to promote a more attractive URL for a particular page or URL, well you can now use the redirection feature.

ADMIN > Tools > Redirection

Just enter your new nice URL and the URL to direct into.

The number of hits to the URL is displayed in the report.

We’ve piled our knowledge in the exhibition website industry into making our brand new theme ‘Prism’. Designed for a larger website with more tools, widgets and customisations it packs a punch.

Layouts to suit you.

Over the years we’ve learnt just how quickly sites can grow from a small splash page to 100+ pages packed full of content for visitors and exhibitors. Prism features the options you need to grow your site. One sidebar or two, menu down the left or across the top.

The customizer, our most powerful design editor yet.

You can customize the site colors, sidebar content, background and header creative whilst looking at your website. Less time going back and forth from admin to the visitor view.

Designed for a larger website

The conference websites theme (now named ‘The Sphere Theme’) was great but we noticed an increase in requests to change the navigation, the top nav was toorestrictive for events with conferences and exhibitions.

‘Prism’ should have more space than you’d ever need. The navigation across the top is now optional, you could put it in the sidebar instead (Or have both!).

Combined with the new action bar, two sidebars you can pack in the content you need as your event grows.

Call to action!

The ‘action bar’ is a feature we’ve introduced to give you more exposure to your key sponsors or links. Sitting above your site content it’s guaranteed a view.

Teaser Boxes

It’s always a great idea to finish each page with a lead into the next. The new teaser box tool lets you drop in a clear prompt to the user of where you want. Whether it’s registration, exhibitor information or a photo gallery at the end of the show.

Footer Widgets

The sidebar real-estate can be precious, even though we added an extra sidebar for Prism we also went one better by adding four new areas for your footer.

Available Now

The Prism theme can be used with any of the conference or exhibition packages.

One of the key features of our system is the ability to display speakers photos in a number of different formats:

Many clients have requested that we edit their speakers photos – selecting different photos for the thumbnails to the featured images.

The different photo sizes are created by selecting the central part of the photo – see my blog post on Article on selecting a perfect speaker photo.

We have added a feature to edit just a specific version of a photo – e.g. the larger thumbnail.

How to do this:

Speakers > Pick a speaker > Click on the speaker photo or click to add a speaker photo.

Click on “Post Thumbnail Editor”

Drag the mouse over the image to select a crop region. The select the image size you want to edit.

And the results:

The new CTA Call to Action button system inserts fancy looking buttons into the page content of your site.

What do they look like:

And then can also look like this:
