Global Templates & Better Editing of Event Pages
I really like HeySummit - but the editing and setting up of new events is gruelling and unnecessarily time-consuming.
Currently, the editing of an event happens in 3 separate pages and locations - this is terribly confusing to remember what was edited where and I dread having to pass this onto assistants, even with an SOP.
If I have to edit certain parts in ‘Content Editor’, others in ‘Theme Editor’and third in ‘
anding Page Editor’ I’m already feeling exhausted having to remember which is where.
Can I please request the following solutions:
- One Editing Dashboard- you choose your template, you edit your content and landing page in one place.
And the other issue I have - having to setup EVERYTHING for the same brand - from the Template with logos, colours and fonts, to the footers, headers, FAQs for speakers, Affiliate Signup Questions, Email Signatures, Email Content, Page Footers - with the links, support email, privacy policy bla bla bla, etc. etc. from scratch every time is too much.
Solution I would love to see:
- Global Templates
Allow us to create ‘Template Banks’ - similar to how we can have it in Canva - these contain our chosen Branding Colours, Fonts, Logos, etc.
But also Template Banks for all the other stuff like - Footer Content (with all our pre-determined links, policies, bla blas); Speaker, Attendees & Partners FAQs, Affiliate Questions, maybe even the Email Sequence Content etc.
So when you’re starting a new event you get to choose from your Templates what applies and then it’s a piece of cake and will not take a week just to set up the ‘boring’ but necessary stuff.
Thank you for reading and your consideration!
Reviewing
Hi Leah, thanks so much for the thorough outline of the feature request and for sharing your experiences. I think you've hit on a few interesting points here. Firstly, just a quick note in case you weren't aware, you can already clone an event which a lot of customers will use to effectively do what you're talking about here, i.e., to recreate a new event based on the current event, effectively using that as a template. I totally appreciate that this is not quite what you're asking for though. I agree that there’s an opportunity here to create a template library that you can manage yourself, and that we (HeySummit) can potentially add/create a selection of impactful/common templates at the central level as well. I can’t promise that we’ll be able to roll this out in the very short term, but its on my radar now and in my list for us to work on in the near future. Thanks for sharing :)
