This is a one-page site specifically designed to promote a single event. This template is a unique instance of the EIFE portal that can be requested for events at the country level.

The one-page layout is streamlined to focus on key event details, providing visitors with a concise, yet impactful presentation. It’s particularly useful for events that require a strong, localised promotional effort, highlighting the quality and variety of European products to international audiences. Whether the event is regional or national, this template ensures that all relevant information is presented clearly and attractively, driving engagement and promoting participation.

Creating an event site

First got to domain content => your country site domain => Add content => Event site

Event site backend from tabs

As most content types, the event site edit form is organised using tabs :

Header tab

This tab holds the “header content” part of your event site page

The title of the event serves as the page’s H1 heading, ensuring clear identification of the event. The teaser text is limited to 350 characters, allowing for a concise summary that provides essential information to engage visitors quickly.

For the banner image, it is recommended to use horizontal images with a 16:9 aspect ratio to maintain visual integrity. A common size is 1920x720, but any image that follows these proportions will display properly without unwanted cropping.

The CTA (Call-to-Action) button enables you to link to an external or internal registration form, guiding visitors to sign up or learn more about the event easily.

About tab

The “About” tab allows you to provide detailed information about your event, including practical details. You can add event-related content using the Add Event Site Section, which includes a title, text, and a CTA button.

The Practical Information section enables you to add the timezone, which is mandatory to ensure that the event time is displayed accurately for your country site’s target audience. This feature also allows visitors from other countries to view the event time adjusted for their own timezone.The Hide Time option allows editors to conceal the event time if it has not yet been set.
