- Start with a template, not a blank canvas. Choose a BT template close to your event type and customize from there, It's faster than building from scratch.
- Set your brand theme first. Use Site Settings → Color Scheme → Theme Creator to establish your palette before touching individual components. Components inherit theme tokens automatically.
- Preview on all three device sizes (desktop, tablet, mobile) before publishing. Columns stack on mobile by default: check that the stacking order makes sense for your content.
- Run the accessibility checker before publishing. It flags contrast failures, missing alt text, and buttons without labels in seconds.
- Complete your Event record before designing. Page Designer pulls live data from Salesforce: populate your banner, description, sessions, speakers, and tickets first so you can see real content while you build.
- After changing theme colors, check your gradients. Changing a palette color updates elements that use that color, but section and column gradients update only when you switch themes. Update them directly in Site Settings → Gradients.
- Target columns precisely with the Page Structure sidebar. When you have a multi-column layout (e.g., 33/66 split) and want to add padding to just one column, select it from the Structure tree rather than clicking in the canvas: clicking the canvas can accidentally select the parent section and apply spacing to everything.
