These elements should not be missing from your new event website

The new Kadence Starter template flashes and glitters – but it only really comes into its own if you feed your website with informative content. These are the points you should consider for a successful event website with Kadence new Starter Template.

1. Phrase and describe actively and experientially by answering the following questions to the reader:

• What will he experience at the event?
• What benefits will he get from attending?
• What do you want the visitors to get out of the event?

An active and emotional description makes the event more attractive to the reader and increases the chance that they will attend.

2. Not everyone always has everything in view.

Therefore, build in the name, date, place and time of the event in various places on the website so that no one has to search for it for a long time.

3. Tell something about the event and the organizers to gain the visitor’s interest.

For example, like this:

• Who is hosting the event and why?
• How many people are involved?
• What is the main motivation for the event?
• Are there helpers and supporters?

4. Offer different ways to register

Make it as easy as possible for visitors to participate; for example, through forms, ticket buttons, or registration links.

5. Work with hashtags and social media links

Generate more traffic to your website. The more people spread the hashtags and links, the more potential visitors will become aware of the event.

6. Build trust by introducing sponsors or partners

With the WordPress theme for events and functions, this is easily done by including supporters’ logos on your homepage. In turn, encourage your supporters to promote the event on social media.
