Event Website Builder | Dryfta Support Desk

Why Dryfta asks for my event title, date and venue?

Everything on Dryfta is about event. So to use it, one has to add the very core of the event i.e. event name, date and venue. Based on that, Dryfta processes every other systems including ticketing, program schedule and other apps. It is mandatory to add these details.

Dryfta does not need ticketing details when you’re only using the platform for abstract submissions and peer reviews. But you still have to add the event details to make the website display Your event’s name and date, and not the default ones.

Can I use HTML to add forms, CSS code etc?

Yes, you can use HTML and CSS to add custom forms like newsletter subscription or any third party embeddable code into your event website. To add custom forms and CSS, you can use the CSS Manager and Widget Manager features. Navigate to Website Builder > to use these features.

Is event website compatible with mobile devices?

Yes, themes are responsive so attendees can access them through mobile browsers.

In CSS Manager, you can add CSS for all themes by choosing a theme from the top right.

We have given a blank CSS page to add your own CSS
properties in the existing classes for the theme currently selected.

To
find the CSS classes being used in a theme, simply access the CSS file
of the current theme.

Add the CSS classes and associated properties
in CSS Manager and then save.

Just make sure you are saving the CSS for
the theme which you are currently using other wise the changes wont show on the website.

Why some themes are not customizable?

Metis and Ariadne themes are non-customizable and their widgets cant be
reordered. The Artemis and Thetis themes are fully customizable and
widgets can be re-ordered as per your liking.
