DESIGN FOR A VIRTUAL EVENT

Designing a website for a virtual event is crucial for creating a seamless and engaging experience for attendees. It serves as the digital venue where participants can access information, interact with content, and connect with other attendees. A well-designed website enhances the event’s professionalism, credibility, and accessibility, ultimately contributing to higher attendee engagement and satisfaction.

Headings

Use headings and spacing to separate sections of text. Using only headings without space is not clear enough

Control Buttons

On videos, especially ones that start automatically, clearly show control buttons such as play, stop and pause. This also applies when carousels and image sliders are used

Contrast Ratio

Contrast ratio — need a high enough contrast between text and background

Multiple Displays

When designing for multiple displays, such as desktop and handheld, keep things consistent, but specific to the display. Navigation should be present at all times on the web

Link Icon

Links

Links need to be made obvious as well as clickable
for all users

Captions & Transcripts

Providing captions and transcripts for audio and video content to ensure that individuals with auditory disabilities can access the content
