What is an Event Calendar?
An event calendar is a community calendar that allows the website owner to manage events and display a calendar online.
Event Calendars are great for:
- Organizations, Churches, Senior Centers, Day Care Centers or any business that holds events
- Giving customers instant access to upcoming events
- Encouraging Community Involvement
Can the Types of Events be Customized in the Calendar?
Yes. You can create an event type that shows in the calendar view. In our example we created different types for Kids, Women, Seniors and Families. The Event Type makes it easy for viewers to filter the calendar.
Can the event calendar be used to sign up or register for events?
The calendar itself can include contact information for registration on each event. Each event can also be linked to a unique page whether on your Advanced Custom Website or hosted elsewhere like Facebook.
For most of our examples on the left we linked to a simple youtube video for the Event Link.
On the Saturday Square Dance Lessons we linked to a Page on the website with a form to register.
Can we charge for event reqistration or sell tickets with the Event Calendar?
No. Typically you will need registrants to contact you either at the Contact Info, or using a contact form as in our Square Dance Lessons example. Neither supports taking payment online.
Can we show a quick list of Coming Events on the Home Page in Addition to the full calendar?
Yes! Below you can see a widget that shows a list of events too.
