Have you ever been tasked with launching a new website for your event? Or having to set up a "quick website" for your event? Worry not because you now have a good variety of "off-the-shelf" options that will get you up and running in no time.

We believe that wordpress has revolutionised the way non-techy people use blogs and websites. So that is why we particularly like and recommend (in most cases) to use wordpress as a CMS. 

On to the specifics, here is a list of the best and most popular event website templates for wordpress available in the market right now:

A very different design but one that is highly visual and we really like this one because it allows customisation in various ways and can be segmented by different topics. This theme offers advanced features for multiple events and allows you to categorize them by time, location, type or anything else. 

Eventum by Templatic

This theme is great for companies that run multiple events of different sizes and want to promote them all in one place. Interestingly, even your audience can create their own events on this website. Eventum can help you increase the number of followers by synchronizing your activities with your Facebook page. It's highly responsive and works well on both desktop computers and mobile phones.

There you have it. I can guarantee that setting an event website is extremely simple and with a little bit of customisation, to change the colours or specific elements you will be up and running very quickly.

You need to bear in mind that when using a template you need to adapt to the template features instead of adapting the template to your specific needs. If your business requires a lot of bespoke functionality you should consider building a bespoke website.
