We used to restrict the storage to 25Meg – it’s now 50 Meg, an extra 25 Meg on us.

Following on from a previous post:How to keep within your Disk Space Allocation we have decided to extend the standard space allowed to 50 Meg. This is now set at the average size used across all our sites.

This is an automatic upgrade – you will see this reflected in your dashboard.

If this is not marked as 50Meg, please raise a support ticket and we’ll upgrade it manually.

You can also upgrade this further at an additional fee.

Many thanks, enjoy.

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.

API: a set of functions and procedures that allow the creation of applications which access the features or data of an operating system, application, or other service.

What does this mean to you?

In short: Your Event App can pull the content from your website.

We’ll for sometime now, we have been selling third-party apps and more often being asked to integrate with event apps. It seemed crazy (and time-consuming) to you (and therefore us), that you would have to enter content into the website and an APP.

So we have been working with Double Dutch to create the API.

What content can you send to the APP?

Seminars, Speakers, Sponsors.

What is the price?

£350 for the year. Please get in-touch if you are interested in using, buying or integrating.

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.
