[Ticket Fairy](https://www.ticketfairy.com/) 2. [Guides](https://www.ticketfairy.com/guides) 3. Build a website for your events Email, SMS and marketing # Build a website for your events Festival teams, venues and promoters want one place where fans find every event, the line-up and how to get tickets. You build that website in your dashboard from the events and brand details you already have, so you spend your time on what makes your events different rather than on web design. Give your festival, venue or club night its own website: Fai drafts it from your events and brand, or you start from a template, then you change the pages, sections and look and publish it for ticket buyers. For: Building a website for your events Takes: 12 minutes - [Open your websites](#step-1) - [Start a new website](#step-2) - [Let Fai build the draft](#step-3) - [Or start from a template](#step-4) - [Fai’s draft and her ideas](#step-5) - [Change the text on a page](#step-6) - [Change a section](#step-7) - [Add a section](#step-8) - [Add a page](#step-9) - [Choose the look](#step-10) - [Check the website on a phone](#step-11) - [Publish your website](#step-12) - [Check that your website is live](#step-13) ## Before you start - You are an owner or an admin of the brand.

Visitors see the website when you publish it. Why can I not let Fai build my website?: Fai building your website and drafting its text are part of some plans. When your plan does not include it, the dialog says so and you can start from a template instead. Contact us to add it. Can my brand have more than one website?: Your plan decides how many websites your brand can have. When the limit is reached, a new website says "Your plan includes a single website. Upgrade to create more." Contact us to add more. What happens if a teammate changes the same section as me?: The editor shows "Someone else changed this" when you save. Select **Reload their version** to see their change, or **Keep my version** to save yours over it. Which address does my website use?: Each website gets a free address that ends in .sites.ticketfairy.com. You can connect a web address you own, as the guide to connecting your own web address shows. How do I delete a website?: On the **Websites** page, select the more actions button on the website, select **Delete**, then confirm. Deleting cannot be undone, so take the website offline instead if you might want it back. Can I use some premium styles?: Styles marked **Premium** are part of some plans. Contact us to add them. ## Still have a question? Book a demo and we will answer it on a call, on your kind of event. Or create your account and see it for yourself.
