Custom brand, design and launch your event registration pages easily using Goldcast's Page Builder. The default registration page will already have added sections - you can select theme, fonts and upload a hero image, save changes and the page will be ready to launch.
To get started:
- Log in to Goldcast Studio with your credentials

What is the Page Builder?
Once you are on the builder page, on the left side of the page, you will see the Editor. Here you can see the blocks of your page - add new blocks, edit, hide and remove blocks, and change the global page settings.
You can:
- Reorder the blocks on your page by dragging and dropping each block in the left side menu.
- Delete a block by clicking the arrow next to the block name, then scrolling down and clicking the red "Delete Block" button.
- Hide/Unhide a block by clicking the arrow next to the block name, then scrolling down and clicking the eye icon.
On the right side of the page, you will see a preview of your page as you make the above edits.
The right side of the page is not editable. To change anything on this page, you must use the left side menu.
Previewing your page
To preview the page, click the Preview icon at the top of the screen. This will show you what the registration page will look like for your visitors.
Alternatively, you can also click the Registration Page tab on the left of the screen to get a preview of your registration page.
To see what this page will look like on a mobile device, you may open it on your phone, or you can collapse your browser window down to its smallest size.
To exit the preview, click the X at the top of the screen.
Settings from the Look & Feel section of your event will not apply to a custom Registration page.
Page styles
The first time you enter the registration page builder, the default Page Styles will be applied to your registration page - white background and black text color.
You can use the Page styles section to change the font, background color, and font color of the entire registration page at once. (You may also choose to change the style of each block on the page individually.)
Adding a new block
To add a new block to your page, click the "New Block" button at the top right of the menu. Then, select a block to add. Your page will automatically scroll to your new block at the very bottom of the page. To reorder your blocks, drag and drop the new block in the left menu.
Once you add any new block, block is automatically added to Navigation block lists but is hidden by default and it will not appear on the Navigation section of your page. For the block header to be visible, click on the eye icon and you can edit the block name if you want to customize the menu name for this block.
Once done editing, the Navigation bar will reflect the edited name.
Editing a block
To edit a block, scroll to the name of that block in the left side menu and click the arrow to the left of the block name. This will open the section. You can change elements of the block from this list, including the headline, text, images, background color, text color, and more.
For each block, you can customise the font styling for your Headline, text; to view the styling options click on the swatch icon on the tab.All of these new controls automagically adapt to all device sizes, so it remains fast and easy to build a page that looks great on every device.
Here is a brief description on how each of these styling settings work:
Color: This controls the color for your text. By default this would be blank and will inherit the block text color. If the block text color is blank , then it will inherit the page text color.
To change the color you can enter the hex code or click on the color preview to open the color palette.
Font Size: This controls the size of your text. We have defaults applied to each text sections in the block. You can choose different sized headers for block Title and Headers. The rest of the elements like description, agenda, button texts, etc., have fixed font sizes and cannot be edited.
Font Weight: This setting controls how thick or thin the characters of the text should be.
Leading: This setting controls how the text is spaced vertically in lines or the spacing between adjacent lines of text.
Max Width: This controls the maximum width that applies to your text. For instance, if there is a lengthy event title and you prefer the title length to be contained instead of running the full length you can use this option.
Tracking: This controls the spacing in between the characters of your text.
Space Top: This controls the spacing or padding above your text.
Space Bottom: This controls the spacing or padding below your text.
Additionally, we also have block, button and card level styling: to view these click on the block /card/button tabs.
Saving your page
To save changes to your page, click the "Save" button at the bottom of the menu. This will save changes and publish your page.
You will see a prompt to save changes if you have unsaved changes on page and click on Close button. Clicking on Ok will redirect you to the admin app without saving changes and clicking on Cancel will close the modal and you will remain on the builder page, allowing you to save the changes.
Registration Forms
Every Custom Registration page will have exactly one Registration block in it. This block can't be deleted, but it can be hidden.
You can set your registration form to be in either Embed Mode or Popup Mode.
In Popup Mode, your registration form will popup over the registration page when one of the register CTAs on the page is clicked like so:
In Embed Mode, the registration form is embedded directly into the page, at the same level as all the other elements on your page. The registration form will be in a block that is split between a text area and the form. The register CTAs on your page will auto-scroll the user to the registration form embedded in your page.
In Embed Mode you'll be able to add a headline that appears above your registration form. Additionally, you can make users navigating to your registration page automatically land on the form block when the page loads by adding ?scroll-to-form=true to the end of your Registration
Page URL
Here is an example registration page URL that auto-scrolls to the form: https://goldcasttest.registration.goldcast.io/events/dccdd791-ee4e-4342-afd0-6c756ad78f0c?scroll-to-form=true
Goldcast's Custom Registration Page provides options to embed external forms built on Marketo and HubSpot on the page. You will view these options in your Register block in the form style folder along with the option to use Goldcast forms.
By default your Goldcast form is selected and the registration form from your Goldcast Library is used. For more information on how to create and assign forms, refer here.
You can also embed third-party forms on your registration page. To learn more, refer to:

Image Specs
How should I create my hero image to ensure it looks great at any browser size?
To compensate for the challenge of infinite screen sizes, Goldcast uses a “background cover” strategy for hero images. The image will crop on the left and right if the browser is tall and skinny. If the browser is wide and short, it will crop the image on the top and bottom.
The content inside the target purple circle of this sample image will be visible at all browser sizes. The top, bottom, left, and right of the image may be cropped depending on screen size.
Avoid noisy background images or including text in your image that conflict with your event name, description, and date. It’s best practice to preview your website at different screen sizes with our preview feature, by resizing your browser to confirm the page looks how you want it to before you publish.

The hero block also has a variable height - it expands to fit the amount of content displayed. For example, if a logo and a long description are added, the hero image will be taller to cover the background of the content.
 No logo, short description. |
 With a logo and a longer description. |
Here are some suggested specs for images you can use in other registration page blocks. Keep in mind, as the content on your page, layout of each block, and size of your browser changes, these images will shift to compensate.
All block background images: 4x3 aspect ratio, between 1600px - 2400px wide
Navigation bar
Logo: svg file approx. 32px tall, width not greater than 150px
Background image: approx. 66px tall
Hero
Logo: svg file approx. 80px tall, any aspect ratio
Background: see above
Full width image
4x3 aspect ratio, between 1600px - 2400px wide
Text grid
Image: 4x3 aspect ratio, suggested minimum width of approx. 250px Depending on how many columns in your grid, and the size of your browser window, the image size and crop will adjust.
Image/text split
Image: 1x1 or 3x4 aspect ratio. This image will stretch taller to match the height of the text in the block.
