Transcript for "Deep Dive: Design & Brand Your Events Like A Pro": Everyone, so excited to be coming to you live from Goldcast's first deep dive series in our summer series where we're diving in to the platform, product capabilities, and helping you guys all become experts in Goldcast. My name is Sai Pendergast. I am the head of customer experience here at Goldcast. Normally, I would have a partner in crime up here on stage with me, Britney Francis, who helps lead our customer education team, but she's on vacation, and she's enjoying a beautiful couple days off. So I'll be emceeing today and helping you guys through this beautiful event journey. Some housekeeping items, we do have a q and a open for today. At any point, if you want to share a question that you have for our team, feel free to add that in. I'm gonna be pointing out some ways that we set up today's event just to let you guys know that there are lots of options that you have in Goldcast for making your event amazing, powerful, and as impactful as you so choose. We did choose to moderate q and a today, meaning that we'll approve certain questions for publishing and share them on stage later. Since we are doing a little bit more of a technical presentation today around design and branding, we want everyone to feel super comfortable also asking anonymous questions if they wish. So if you wanna send in something without your name attached, no shame, feel free, and we'll also share those questions too. Related to why we are here today, what we are doing, you can always ask questions in the chat if you wish and we can push them into q and a. But overall, our topic is focused on discussing what makes Goldcast branding, design, and building of your events special, unique, and also powerful. What we're gonna be talking to you today overall is some discussion around how to design and brand both your registration pages as well as your overall events in a way that is impactful and also unique maybe to your overall events and event series. As you can see today, we actually branded this event more of a summer type theme. You may also recognize that the registration page that hopefully you all landed in this event through had a pretty unique branding too. I wanna let you in on a little secret. I am no design wizard or expert. However, I was actually the person that created the reg page for today. I say that with the intention that it shows that really anyone can brand within Goldcast. And we like to say, you know, on our side of the house that our focus is helping you create magic with your registration and event designs within the constraints of Goldcast. So one quick item though too, even though I created the reg page, I took it about 95% of the way there, and then my amazing design team took it the final couple steps. So those of you out there that might be attending this event as a designer, as a event focused individual, know that you can take it all the way or you can also help your design team out, put the, building blocks in place, and let them carry it across the finish line. Thanks, Dan and Caitlin. It was my first time really digging in, so it was really exciting. Overall, that's really what I'm here to share about, kick off the event, and let you guys all know that this deep dive series will have a different topic every week where we really lean into a different area of the product and help you become an expert and up level your events. Our random show today is that after I exit stage, you're gonna see a prerecorded video start walking through our registration page builder and some awesome tips and tricks around what you could be doing with that builder. After that, we'll have our head of design, Dan, come on stage and chat with you guys a little bit around our general brand our branding and design philosophy. And then we'll also have our amazing customer experience team come on later with Dan and answer your questions that you've put in. So without further ado, I am gonna go ahead and play that video. Feel free to put in questions as I mentioned earlier, as well as look at some of the resources we have linked to make this event an overall success. Awesome. Hopefully, you see a video come up. Thank you. Hello, everyone. Today, I'll guide you through creating an impressive internal page using Goldcast registration page builder with an example from the AI summit event. Start by analyzing the event's color palette and elements. For a seamless look, use black as the background color and white for contrasting text, as well as other bright colors in the event color palette to enhance readability. Customize the fonts to align with the event's branding. We'll choose Arial for this example. Next, set the navigation bar's background color to black for cohesion and add your events logo. Goldcast registration builder has various blocks, including registration, hero, description, speakers, sponsors, agenda, and image split boxes. We'll hide the sponsors block for this tutorial. Customize the call to action button to stand out. Choose a bright color from the events palette. Set the background color and make the font white. Adjust the button shape to fit the events theme opting for a simple rectangular shape. If the navigation bar spacing is insufficient, increase it in the block style settings. Upload the pre created hero image. Match the CTA button style in the hero block to the navigation bar. If the hero image has the title and timing, disable these text elements to avoid redundancy. Adjust the spacing if the registration button overlaps with the text by increasing the top margin to XL or 2 XL and setting the padding on top to small. Ensure consistency by matching the hero blocks button style to the navigation bar, adjusting font colors, and choosing a semi bold font for visibility. For the registration block, use a bright background to attract attention and center align the form. Add a contrasting background color to the text. Adding a bright background eliminates the need to add a drop shadow to enhance these elements. By following these steps, you can create an impressive and cohesive internal registration page using Goldcast's registration page builder. Next, we change the background of the registration card to orange. This bright color is attention grabbing, eliminating the need for a shadow or drop shadow. So set the shadow position and shadow blur to 0. The input area has a gray border, which we don't need, so we'll make it 0 and adjust the corner radius to match the blocks outside radius. For consistency, change the corner radius of the CTA buttons to none. Once that's done, we move on to the description section. The description is straightforward and doesn't need many changes, so we'll leave it as is. After that, we'll add other blocks. For example, a text image split can display additional information, and a full width image block can highlight other details. Here, we'll add a block to showcase our internally designed tote bags with an image and accompanying text. We can adjust the text width, color, and thickness, but everything looks good, so we'll leave it as it is. Next, we add the agenda. We can rearrange blocks freely, so we'll move the agenda above the speakers to give attendees a clear idea of what to expect. The agenda looks fine, but could be improved with more colors since we've used bright colors throughout the design. We'll add color to the agenda blocks without using drop shadows as the colorful shapes will stand out against the black background. 1st, change the card color by going to card style settings, increasing the corner radius, and selecting a background color that matches our theme. Remove the drop shadow, and the agenda will look complete. We'll also move the text image split block above the agenda for better flow. Next, we'll focus on the speaker section. Following the same design strategy, we'll add colors to the speaker cards against a black background. We can also add small background images or elements to the agenda area to fill the space creatively. We'll increase the card radius to large for the speaker section and set the background color to blue following our palette. We add another centrally aligned CTA to invite users to register after reading the agenda and speaker information. Change block colors to make the page cohesive. Move this block to the top below the speakers or agenda to prompt registration after users get more information on the event taking place. Decrease padding for better spacing. Hide the sponsors block at the bottom as we did at the top. Next, we add a card with information about other AI companies too to insert the the pre created image that matches the branding. Now, the registration page is nearly ready. Preview it in full screen to identify any final adjustments. If changes are needed, it's a bit of trial and error to achieve a seamless design. For example, try right aligning elements and adjusting images to enhance the layout. Ensure the design is intuitive by following the color palette, design theme, and font choices consistently. The final result should be a cohesive and visually appealing registration page. Hello, everyone. I hope you enjoyed that video. We had some great q and a flow in during it, so continue sending any questions you have. It's my pleasure to now welcome Dan to the stage as our head of design. He's gonna be chatting through some of our design philosophy as well as sharing an awesome presentation with you guys. Alright. Hey. Thanks, Sai. Great job on the registration page. I was I felt very all the summer vibes. Amazing. Well, I'll let you take it over, Dan, and enjoy. Awesome. Thank you so much. And thanks, everyone, for joining today. And before I get into my whole presentation, I just wanna encourage everyone to click on the docs tab. Hopefully, I'm pointing in the right direction. And, there, you will find tips and tricks from our designers on how to make branding and Goldcast really sing. And, yeah, I hope you find that useful. And now, for any product, I'm gonna talk about it's like it's really important to think about, you know, or understand what we consider when we're making the page builder. And so I'm gonna talk to you a little bit today about our page builder philosophy and, like, what we thought about for our customers. And, hopefully, we made some good decisions for you, about how we can quickly and easily make great registration pages or you can make great registration pages with Goldcast. And so first of all, the goals for our project are pretty straightforward. Obviously, brand is extremely important to us at Goldcast, and you can tell by all of the tools that we give you to express your brand in our platform. So hashtag goals. So beautifully branded is, like, the thing that we need to have. Right? First thing. And fully responsive. And for the for nontechnical people in the room, what that means is, you know, we live in a world full of screens, and all of those screens are different sizes and proportions. And the term responsive design turned up, in, you know, the the late 2000 as a technique for, you know, banking one website and presenting it seamlessly at every screen size possible. And so when we set out to make this product, that was a goal for us because people are visiting your registration page from a desktop, a huge maybe a television screen, definitely a mobile device, and maybe a tablet. So any sort of device that you can imagine, we wanna be there, and we want your brand to look beautiful. So that was a goal for us. And, obviously, we're here. You're running events. We want people to go to those events. So our registration pages need to help you have high conversion. And that is was part of our stated goal, and it guided a lot of the decisions that we made. And we wanted it to be really easy for you to opt in or not opt in. Just give you best practices by default. So we want things to be SEO friendly. We wanna use a lot of live text. We wanna, you know, have images load as quickly as we can and generally be accessible because accessibility is not only the right thing to do. It really helps, in a whole host of conversion metrics as well. And the last bullet here is ASAP because we know events are they happen fast, and we want them to happen frequently. So we wanted it to be very easy for you to express your brand in goal cast, maybe make a template, and get into the rhythm of doing you know, rolling out your event strategy. And so that's a lot, but that's what we were thinking about when we started making this product. And so as we were developing the product, you know, we had to decide what the trade offs are. And this is like, you know, life is full of trade offs is what I always say. And, you know, we know that we're not giving complete flexibility, and that's one of our trade offs. But, like, we were hoping to make the right trade offs to fulfill the goals of of the page builder. And so the first thing we did is, like, we decided we were going to be a block based editor, meaning that you could, you know, as you saw in the video before, select a block, customize it. You we tell you what you need to give it, and it it produces a fully responsive design for you. So even though you're only maybe making the desktop version, you get a design that looks great at mobile and on tablets and anywhere you could look at your webs your web page. It was really important for us to have guardrails, which is, you know, like, we don't want you to be in the pit of despair. We want you to be in the pit of success is what we say on the product team a lot. So, like, we wanted to make it really easy. And in order to make it really easy, we had to make some fairly firm guardrails for each of the blocks. So you just, like, had a hard time to mess it up. And that goes into our next trade off, which is there's, like, sometimes a little bit of a learning curve because we're trying to give you as much flexibility in those guardrails as we can. And so, that forced us to sort of, like, make all of the affordances to fully express your brand, whether it's, like, your colors or images or border radius, which is always, like, weirdly important one, I find. You know, are your buttons square? Are they rounded? Like, if you have a rounded brand and you get a square button, it just feels wrong. And so we wanna be able to give you the articulation to express all of those details in these page builders. And, you know, because we have a whole bunch of different blocks, each of them have their own design constraints, although there are some pretty, common patterns between most of them. And so let's take a minute and just talk about blocks. And I made a little drawing so we didn't have to you know, you you just saw a whole presentation about blocks and how they work. But the intent of the block based builder is for you be you as the marketer to go in there and basically put all of your content into the interface, rearrange the blocks, put in the right headlines, put in the right copy, put in maybe even the right images, even just to sketch it out for before your designer comes in. Or if you are design savvy, just put them in yourself and order everything. So it's basically stack them up, write them, style them, and ship it. And that's how we think that you can make a reg page, ASAP. And so hopefully, you have a lot of the question and answers, like, what are your brand colors? How do we get them in there? How like, custom fonts, all of that stuff. But that's that's how the product thinks, and it's probably useful for you to think that way as well as you're putting together your page. So I'm gonna specifically talk a little bit about the anatomy of a block. And we're looking here in this diagram at the event hero block. And so you could see there are fields, there are styles, and then there are settings. And so at the, you know, in the field section, which is in this, purple bar area, the event hero can take a image, which is usually a logo. It can take a headline, which is usually the title of your event. It can take some descriptive text or just like a short description to show in the hero, and you can add some buttons. So you can add a register button or a button to link out to something else. And, you know, that's all available to you in the event hero block. Every other block is going to have slightly different fields to help you express what that block needs. The next setting is styles, and this is typically the same. The one variation you'll see here, there's a block style and button style. If the block doesn't have buttons in it, you won't see button style. In this case, we're talking about the event hero. You're almost always gonna wanna have a register button, so we wanna be able to style it. And then the settings are the last piece, which is there there are not many. You can hide the block, which means, like, you don't delete it. It's still there, but it's not visible on the page. And then there's the delete block, which is like, yeah, this is just wrong. Let's get rid of it. And that's you know, you can undo it, but it's useful to keep your working space clean. Alright. So let's talk a little bit more. I I think the thing that I wanna call out to you on this slide is in the headline area on the right, there are little swatches, like little swatch icons. And whenever you see a swatch icon in the page builder, that means you have access to more design settings. So in this case, we're talking about advanced typography. So this is for the designers in the room. We really like, the design team at Goldcast, like, cares a lot about typography, hierarchy, all the things that designers typically care about. And we really wanted to be able to express our own brand in this product. And this is everything that we feel like we need to do that job. And so there's some little, settings in here. Like, some of them are obvious. Right? Color. Then you have font size, which, we give you heading 1 through 6, I believe. And those are all responsive. So if you choose heading 1 and it's very, very large, if you start squeezing your screen down, it will also shrink to be appropriately sized for every page. So you don't even need to worry about that. Goldcast is kind of your developer here. You're just saying, like, what priority should your font your headline be? And then, you know, the basics, like font weight, leading, max width, so you can keep a beautiful line length that is nicely legible for your visitors, tracking, spacing on the top and bottom. So fairly basic, but very powerful when you are trying to make it feel right, which is really important to us. Alright. Let's see a little bit more about block style. So now we're, you know, in the style section. This is mostly common across every block, and there's some exceptions where, like, if you look at the text grid block, it has some more settings. Like, the text grid block has grid settings. Like, do you want a 4 column grid or a 3 column grid? Those settings are here too, because you're basically setting up your block. And so here, you know, I don't need to read through all of them, but I think you saw the power of this in the video. You get alignment, center, left, right, headline weight by default, so you don't have to keep setting it up over and over again, text color, background color, background image, which is a super powerful thing to use to really get your brand imagery into these pages in an elegant way, and then, you know, the positioning and sizing to make the images look great on the page. And then everything down to border and padding are here. And that's, like, really as complicated as it gets. And it does require a little trial and error to get it just perfect, but it's really worth the effort. So the pro tips are here. There's a block. It's called text grid. If you don't if you're, like, finding friction in the page builder and you're like, none of these blocks work for me, TextGrid is the answer for you. It is extremely flexible, and you can do a lot of typographic hierarchy. You can add some images. You can really goes a long way from presenting custom speaker grids to sponsor blocks that if if the current block options are not in your style or you're not happy with them, you can push this block very far. Background images are great to spice things up, and I think we'll show you some examples of this later, but it's a really easy way to get your brand into the page and have it work across the board. And, you know, the the last thing I wanna say is, like, SEO and accessibility are really, really important for pages. And I think that, you know, this is one thing where we see, you know, design teams run into some amount of trouble. Like, if you put in text as an image, it can it mostly will it will work, but it might be too small or it might be too weird. Live type works for everyone, and it is absolutely the first thing you should try. Definitely upload your custom typeface so it is on brand, but also make sure your reg pages are accessible and work on every screen size. It will really help you along the way. Alright. I think this is the last slide of my presentation, but here are the keys to access success. It's, really embrace the constraints of the page builder. In like, get creative, try out wild ideas, see how it works, see how it feels, take your brand standards, see how they can inspire you to push the page builder as far as it can go. And we'll show some examples later that like, when I saw them the first time, I was shocked at, how much latitude people found in the simple tools that we've put into the page builder. So embrace the constraints, get creative, play around, have some fun, get your designers in there. This is a team sport, and you should work on it with everyone together. So with that, I'm going to ask Ronita and Caitlin to join me on stage for some question and answer. Hey, Caitlin. You're on mute. Hey. That was so fun. Those last ones. Amazing. Yeah. So so nice to be on stage. I'm Ronita. I'm manager here at Goldcast. I'm super excited to, like, go through all your questions. And we have Caitlin. Hi, guys. I'm Caitlin. I'm a senior CSM here at Goldcast. So hello to any of my clients watching. We're gonna have some fun today. Absolutely. Alright. So we have the first question here from Helene. Is is there an area where we can get recommendations for image sizes? Yes. Idea how big the logo should be, for instance. Amazing question. So we do have, all of the dimensions. It's right here in the help docs, wherein you can download our 3 help articles. It does provide you dimensions on the event page, the registration page as well. At the same time, I'm just gonna share my screen. Give me a quick second. Okay. Just sharing my screen over here. Just a bit of funkiness. I'm not able to find oopsies. Alright. So right here, when you are in the block based builder, it's very simple. As in when you upload your image, for example, it's this hero image right here. You upload your image. Great. But even under your block style, you can choose your aspect ratio. So 3 by 1 is the ideal, but then if you want to just shift it around, you can do so and then see that change getting replicated over here in real time. So that's the way that you can do. I would highly recommend looking at your help docs and uploading the images over here. And even when you're inside the builder, you can still further customize it and change and play around with the ratios. Yeah. Just to add a little bit onto that, Ronita, because I think it's really important and it's one thing that we hear about a lot. And I think that everybody is always looking for the exact pixel dimension, and we we, like, we have recommendations, but I think it is really important to, as Ronita was showing you, to think in proportions first. And then it's really about optimizing the size, like, the weight of the image. So it's like, you probably don't wanna put a 15 megabyte image as your header because it's gonna take forever to load. And so we try to put as many guardrails on that as we can, but we also want your pages to look amazing. So some amount of we give you a lot of latitude. You want the image to be high resolution, but not overly large so it loads quickly. And that that is the best experience for your customers. So it takes a little fiddling, but it's worth it. Yes. Thank you so much, Dan. Alright. We have the next question. I okay. That's for Caitlin. I'm gonna take this one, actually. So this is one of the coolest things, honestly, that I think, our platform does. It is so neat, and it's such a hidden gem. So, like, clip this, share with everyone, do all the things. I think it's so cool. I'll shout it from the rooftops. We actually have an integration in our registration page with Unsplash. So for those of you who are not in the design world or in the photography world, Unsplash is a really cool platform that allows photographers and graphic designers and really anyone in who wants to, to upload their images, but the catch is that they're royalty free. So it's a great platform for artists to upload their work, but it also is an awesome platform for people to go and look for, like, stock images and general images that are super high resolution, but they're not gonna have, like, Adobe Stock as, like, a watermark on them. So, I'm actually a user myself. I have some images uploaded there. So kinda fun. And I love it. And to see Goldcast having the integration just blew me away. So I really wanted to actually take a second to show the way that you can use that integration because it's kind of hidden in plain sight, to be honest. So I'm just gonna go ahead and actually share my screen. I love it. We're using the stage controls ourselves. Okay. So let me go ahead and share. Alright. Buckle up, team. This is gonna be really cool. Okay. So we're in just the standard rich page builder. I'm gonna go into the hero section, the hero block, and go pop on down to block style. I'm gonna take away this gradient. Gradients are amazing. They're an awesome way just to have something up there. You can play around with the colors, have a lot of fun. But if you wanna get an image up there that maybe, you know, your design team has worked, like, backed up, or you're a small but mighty team in making your own designs, and you wanna have a chance to put a really cool image in there that's relevant to your event or your industry, but you may not have the tools at your disposal to create those yourselves. What you can do, drum roll, please, rather than uploading an image, this right here, this integration right here, it lives directly in this pop out is gonna be oh my gosh. You guys making me blush. Is gonna be your saving grace. It is so cool. So let's see. Does anyone have, like, a I don't know. An example topic? What are we gonna make an event about if someone wants to put it in the chat? What should we look for? Cat. I knew Cy was gonna say cats. You know? The Olympics is also good. I I think Cy I do appreciate cats, but I think I might go with Olympics because I'm actually curious to see what What's gonna come up? Maybe if I could spell it right, that would be great. Okay. Cool. So it pulls up let me see if I can, like, increase this a little bit. So it pulls up all of these images, and these are high resolution images. So Zach, are we talking summer Olympics or Winter Olympics? I think that's what we really need to know. Oh my gosh. The suspense is killing me. Summer. Summer. Summer. So we'll go summer. Because I'm looking at my ratio of my reg page, I'm like, I'm probably not gonna wanna put a portrait style image. I'm gonna wanna look at for landscape. So, again, portrait is this way, landscape is this way. This is also just an art lesson for for anyone included. So I actually really like this image. I think that's pretty cool. I know it's not exactly like Olympics action, but I think it's a really neat image itself. So it takes my ratio restraints or constraints into consideration when it's clipping this out. So I'm just gonna I can move the box. I'm gonna do a little something funky like that. Save it, upload it, and it should show up as my hero image. So, again, really, really helpful. I just talked for a very long time, but just a really cool way to look for images to use. I'm very passionate about this, by the way. So you can move these around. You can play around with all sorts of ways to get it exactly how you want it, put a CTA, block in there underneath, have a lot of fun with it, but this is just a great starting point for some rock solid images. Let me stop sharing. Thanks for letting me talk about that. Okay. I think, Dan, you kind of touched on this as you were just speaking about does adding multiple big images slow down your page loading? Yeah. And this is, like, the classic struggle, and it's not just for page builder. It's for every website. So the more page the more images on your page, the heavier it's going to be. And that's just, like, a fact of life. And so if you have a ton of images, you wanna make sure they're as small as possible. And, you know, we if you look at, you know, our website or any website, there's a constant balance between the amount of blocks, the amount of information, the amount of images, how big they are. And, you know, balancing all of that is part of the work. And so you might choose some smaller images, like the 5050 block, for instance, is a really great way to get a smaller image that can look really sharp and good and be lighter weight and mix it up to give, like, a little rhythm to your page. And then, like, put the cherry on top with a big hero image, background image, or something like that. So there's a lot of strategies, and I think, you know, my recommendation is to, like, look for inspiration and, you know, see what feels good. And, you know, you might not wanna have 20 blocks with 20 gigantic images in it if you want your page to be performant. But 1 or 2 is definitely acceptable. Yeah. Absolutely. The lighter, the better. Cool. So I struggle to make my images fit. Do you have any best practices? Yes. The first thing is that please do follow the recommendations and the help docs. That's point number 1. And you can always I would have to stop sharing the question to share my screen again. You would have to always go into your reg block builder. And just having a struggle with my share screen. So this is what happens when you have multiple tabs opened. As a speaker, do not have multiple tabs open when you're speaking. That's a lesson for me. Anyhoo. So as I was saying, you need to go into a reg block builder. Please upload the images as per the dimensions mentioned. That's because it's lighter, it's easier, it correctly fits onto your reg page. But then, again, you can always change the aspect ratio, which we went over. You can always change it right here. So that would make your image fit exactly, again, depending on what you want to achieve out of it. Likewise, the block style has, like, multiple other features that you can even work on. Aspect ratio is one of them, but at the same time, if you want to, like, change any other areas like the border, the padding, the padding or the bottom, this is where you can minimize the space. So then it looks crisp and neat on your reg page. I hope that helped the question over there. I'm just gonna stop sharing. Ronita, actually, could do you mind sharing your screen again? Sorry to make you do this. But there's the thing that there's, like, sort of a design pro tip in here. And if there are any designers listening in, I wanna make sure they're aware of this because this is a big deal. So if you go to, the hero image and we go to the block styles again Okay. And you see where it says background position, you have some options there of, like, where the background lines up. So it's like, let's say you instead of, the aspect ratio of 3 by 1, you actually want it to be 2 by 1, which I think is much narrower. And then you actually want that image to be lined up to the bottom. So the bottom always shows, and the top can go away. You can make sure that it always shows that piece of the image. And then the other one that this works in tandem with is background size. So right now, we have it set to cover, which means, like, we're gonna take your image, and we're going to stretch it over the entire block. So we're, like, we're gonna always fill up the block with image even if the image cuts off. And that's often like, that's a great way to sort of see how, like, the the UI in this image is, like, sort of going off to the right. Like, that's part of the design. So that's acceptable here, and we we celebrate that. And so we like using the cover here. But if you wanted the image to show all the time, you can pull down cover and choose contain, and that will always show the image. And this is another superpower. It's like if you wanna make sure that image is shown as much as possible, that is a great choice. And you need to watch out for your typography and all of that, and see what happens when you go down to smaller sizes. But that is a design superpower in the Page Builder. Thanks for letting me butt in. Cool. So that yeah. So Slack, you're good. Yeah. And also, Dan, it is so cool having you up here with us. So we anytime. 7. We're speaking from what we know, and we've seen, like, clients do and all that stuff. So it's great to have the the added context. Okay. So what methods did you have going for testing and reviewing your resume? So we have a lot of different ways to test and review. Obviously, the preview is my favorite way to do it. I'm gonna go ahead and share my screen. It's a lot of screen sharing that we're doing today, but it's kinda fun. So I'm gonna I'm gonna share my screen one more time. So let's go ahead and stop sharing this one. These stage controls are just so easy to use. I love it. Alright. So we're back to Unsplash. I did a little bit of editing. So I removed that register button. As you can see, I was also playing around with the text. So my favorite way, the easiest way to do it is always to just do preview. It was right up there. You can actually preview it in mobile as well. So we're gonna resize. Let's see. Oh, it might not do it while I'm screen sharing. There is a way to to do mobile too. So this is just our little button. And that way I can look at it. I also will move my my screen size around. So I'll look to see, like, what happens if I have, like, a smaller screen, a full screen situation, and I just check the whole thing out. And then I'm like, oh, you know, this is taking up a little too much space. I wanna change it around a little bit. So that's gonna be the best way to preview it in my opinion. You can always, of course, copy paste the link, have someone else look at it on your team. That's what I would suggest too. And then let me hold on one sec. I'm gonna close this preview. Other ways outside of the registration page, you can, you know, test your emails because those are, related to design too. You have your header image, you have your text layout, all of that. So you can test your emails with we're gonna go for another adventure in here. Going down to your email schedule, checking out, your little pop out here, and there's a way to send a test email. Now this is great. Sending test emails is awesome. That being said, I actually really like to go through the whole experience. Like, test emails are awesome for in the moment. You just wanna see what it looks like. But test emails will not bring you through the steps of clicking your registration link. It doesn't actually do that because you're not registered necessarily. So I'll register with, like, a personal email address. That way I can see everything from all of the steps. So going back to my registration page. Actually, I can just click on it right here, right from the event dashboard. I'll go to register, brings me down here, put in my name, and then I'm just gonna do I'm not gonna I'm not gonna show you my personal email, and then I'm gonna click submit. And I'll not only get the email registration confirmation so I can see what that looks like. I'll also see what this, little note is here. And I'll be reminded, like, oh, I actually wanna update that instead. So there's a lot of things to do. I would just say the best way that I've seen it done is pretend like you're a registrant and go through all of the steps. So that's for me. Alright. What other questions do we have up here? Oh, nice. Oh, so how can I adjust the size blank space of the blocks? You can always adjust it by playing around with the padding. You do have the options to, like, reduce the padding, either if it's on the top of the block or at the bottom of the block. So, again, I'm going to stop sharing. Y'all are going to see me struggling with my little window, but then okay. Here we got it. Right? Anyways, so in each block that you go to I'm just gonna minimize this. You do receive a block style and a and a card style. So under the block style, I'm just gonna use the hero block as an example. You scroll down. Under this block style, if you want to reduce the space of your image, so you can do that by going to the padding top and padding bottom. You do have couple of options over here, but if you just wanna remove the padding, say, from the top, the top part of the zero image, you can just choose none. And the padding at the bottom, you can also make it as none. So that for that specific block, there wouldn't be any blank space. Likewise, for your next block, which is the description, you do the same thing. That way you reduce the blank space, and it looks more like one information after the other. Cool. Alright. And I hope that helped. If you have any follow-up questions on that, please feel free to, like, send out a question or maybe drop it on the chat. I got a Dan question. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's a great question. You know, I talk to a lot of designers that work for our customers, and it always it's a very similar pattern here. I think that people are generally afraid to go in. So step 1 is invite your designer in. Say this is a tool that's built for them. Like, genuinely, it is by designers, for designers, with marketers in mind. And so, you know, it's a team sport. Invite them into the space. Let them play around. It's often like, you don't need to jump into your reg page. We also have, like, in the pages section of goal cast, you can make a test page and just, like, get some experience playing with the blocks, uploading images, seeing how it feels. Like, we have had some unbelievably successful pages built by our customers that you could tell that they just had a very strong brand guideline and event theme. And they went in and they explored, and they expressed their brand. And that's, like, how we think about it, is expression of the brand and not just like if you set up the expectation that it's gonna be like Figma or Adobe Illustrator or some full fledged design tool, like, you're gonna set you're gonna have a a sad designer. But almost every designer that I've ever worked with loves constraints because it helps guide them on making a really great deliverable. And so once they understand the constraints, and maybe you can show them this talk, or we'll send this, this through ContentLab and clip it up so you have some assets to share. But understanding the philosophy really, really helps your designers, so get them in the loop. Amazing. Those were some awesome questions. I think that we covered a pretty wide range of topics within that. But, obviously, if anybody has any other questions that they wanna flow in, we're still here. Our goal was to give about 10 minutes of buffer time at the end of this event because who doesn't love a little bit of extra time before their next meeting or their next thing in the day? I'm in Seattle, so I'm definitely about to, like, eat some lunch or something before my next meeting. Before we cap off, a, I wanna thank everybody for attending today. Thank you for your support.
