Design a fix for square sponsor logos looking small

When using the Sponsors component, horizontal logos look good, but square logos look tiny. The reason appears to be that the logo containers are horizontal, so any graphic that is not horizontal get minimized. On the flip side, any horizontal logo that happens to have the same proportions of the container end up looking giant. Ideally, all the logo would have the same visual weight. I’m not sure what the ideal fix it, but it would be great if something can be done about it. 1) Make the containers square? This might be better, but would probably be a half measure, because then square graphics would look bigger than others. 2) Perhaps a setting in each logo to tell HeySummit whether a logo is horizontal, vertical or square, so that the display size can be automatically optimized? 3) A setting (probably in the Manage Sponsor settings) for a relative size (smaller, small, medium, big, bigger — kind of like relative font sizes in HTML)? Then the event developer can eyeball what looks best? (This could also help event organizers who want to make logo sizes different based on sponsorship tier.)

Date override for the Countdown feature in the hero header

The Event Countdown component has a setting to override the begin date, but the Hero Header Countdown setting does not offer the same functionality. An issue arises when we schedule a pre-con event. We don’t want the pre-con event changing the date that the Hero Header’s Countdown setting uses to calculate. In our event settings, we do have manual dates set, but that doesn’t solve the issue either. Please add a setting in the Hero Header component to override the automatic date setting.

Add setting to take manual control the text color of speaker details on dynamic page

From a recent exchange with Jerica, we understand that “The speaker details, such as the company name and job title, take their color from the Body color settings. ... What you are seeing is a lighter version of that color.” We find that lighter version of the color to be distracting (in fact, in this case it looks like link text to businesses, and it’s n ot). We would like to be able to change this text color, but it appears there is no control or setting to do so. Is that something you could add, please?

💡 Feature Request

consolidated feedback from our developer when optimising or editing events

Limited Layout Customization ( "Templates are fairly rigid; while you can add logos, colors, and some branding, you don’t get full design freedom.") Generic Look & Feel ("Out-of-the-box pages tend to look like other HeySummit events. This reduces the ability to create a truly unique branded experience, which is often critical for high-profile events.") Poor Granular Styling Controls ( " You can adjust basic colors, fonts, and backgrounds, but not fine-tuned CSS-level changes unless you hack workarounds.") Limited Media & Content Placement Options (" You can’t always place images, videos, or sponsor logos exactly where you want. This creates challenges for creating compelling landing/schedule pages.") Lack of Custom Code Injection ("minimal ability to inject custom JavaScript, CSS, or HTML into event pages. This blocks advanced customizations or unique interactive features.") Rigid Templates (" pre-built templates that auto-adjust, but they’re not fully flexible. We can’t easily tweak breakpoints or create unique responsive behaviors for different screen sizes.") Limited Mobile Customization("You can’t design mobile layouts separately. The system auto-scales desktop designs, which often leads to spacing issues, oversized buttons, or squished layouts on smaller screens.") No Custom CSS for Breakpoints("We can not inject custom CSS to define media queries. This blocks fine-tuning of how the design responds to tablets vs. phones vs. widescreen monitors.") Image Cropping/Scaling Issues("Images can't be resized in ratio") Backend Updating Issue ("While working live on the backend, the live version is not updated simultaneously, which causes confusion and overwork.") Backend is really slow ("We have to encounter a lot of slow editing in the backend. ")

A feature to enable image posting in the event lobby

I believe if HeySummit team could implement a feature in the event lobby to allow users to post images or photos would be highly beneficial. This functionality, similar to standard posts on Instagram, aims to engage followers and clients by leveraging visual content to drive discussions around events.

Layout Component for page header that matches dynamic pages

I love the Layout Components and the three options you’ve given for them. I’d like to suggest a fourth: It would be extremely useful to have an option that matches the page header that HeySummit uses for the dynamic pages (such as Speakers, Schedule, etc.) That way when we make our own pages, it would be easy to match the look of the dynamic pages.
