What’s new in Weston 2.2
Version 2.2 · Apr 19, 2024

What it does
Event websites need to carry a lot of detail: the agenda, who is speaking, how to register and when things start. This theme puts those pieces into a single setup made for event organizers. You can publish a schedule, add speaker bios and photos, and sell tickets directly from the site with secure payment options, so attendees find everything without being sent elsewhere.
The design templates can be tailored to match your brand, and a drag and drop page builder lets you adjust layouts without writing code. The templates are responsive, so pages adapt to phones, tablets and desktops. It works for a small workshop or a larger conference with multiple sessions and tracks, and multilingual support lets you offer the site in more than one language.
Best for
- Conference organizers building a dedicated event website
- Workshop and seminar hosts selling tickets online
- Agencies creating sites for multi-track events
