It’s essential for event organizers and organizations to make content accessible across various formats to reach and engage their audience effectively. Grandstand understands this need and has completely transformed its web widget, offering unmatched customization, powerful features, and intuitive controls. This reimagined widget makes it simple to adapt your event content to fit seamlessly with your website, ensuring a cohesive, polished presentation that helps you reach attendees wherever they are.
The new Grandstand web widget puts you in control. With a vast array of settings and styling options, you can easily design a widget that complements your website’s aesthetic. Whether you’re managing a festival, conference, or community event, the reimagined widget adapts effortlessly to reflect your brand. For those using a JavaScript embed, you can even leverage your website’s existing styles and select from 50 Google Font choices for a fresh new look without the hassle of coding.
The widget’s flexible layouts add another level of versatility. Schedule and List widgets come with multiple layouts—five for Schedule and four for List—each with various configurations. Lists are ideal for displaying Food Vendors, Artists, Performers, Sponsors, and even FAQs, and you can give each list a unique style, ensuring that different categories stand out visually. The newly added Popover Layoutbrings a modern, interactive experience for both Schedule and List, complementing existing expandable options.
With Map customization options, you can adjust the look and feel to create an engaging visual guide for attendees. Each component now offers real-time previews so you can see exactly how it will look on your website, whether you choose the JavaScript or iframe embed.
Grandstand’s widget goes beyond aesthetics. Attendees can now search each Schedule, List, and Map with ease, and filtering has been enhanced to provide a more tailored user experience. Schedule categories, List Tags, and Map Pin Categories can be filtered either with buttons or a convenient dropdown, making it easier for attendees to find precisely what they’re looking for.
For those who prefer a minimalist or embedded look, the widget now supports transparent backgrounds through JavaScript embeds, allowing seamless integration even on websites with unconventional backgrounds. And for users unable to embed JavaScript, the iframe option still provides a streamlined, user-friendly solution.
One of the standout advantages of Grandstand’s widget is its integration with the Grandstand native app, meaning you can update content in one place, and it will automatically appear on both your app and website. This centralized system saves time and ensures a consistent, up-to-date experience across platforms.
Grandstand offers a cost-effective, scalable pricing model. For partners with an app, widget packages start at $150/year; for non-app partners, packages begin at $300/year. Pricing is based on widget quantity and total views, making it easy to find an option that aligns with your event’s needs and budget.
With its reimagined design, Grandstand’s web widget offers the flexibility, ease of use, and customization you need to create an engaging, visually cohesive experience. From schedules and lists to interactive maps, Grandstand’s widget is the perfect solution for integrating your event into your website and delivering a polished experience that keeps attendees informed and engaged.
