Use your own HTML for a conference page
If you already have a page design, you can use it for your conference landing page. Registration and checkout still run through OpenCEU.
This may not be turned on for your account yet
Open it
Click Conferences, open your conference, then click Custom landing page in the button row at the top.
Add your HTML
Paste your HTML into the box under Your HTML, or click Upload .html to load a file from your computer. If the box is empty, you can also click Start from a template to get a basic starting point. The limit is 512KB.
Add the Register placeholder
Somewhere in your HTML, put {{OPENCEU_REGISTER}}on its own line, where you want the Register button to appear. This is what sends people into registration and checkout — tickets, prices, and coupon codes all keep working the way they do now. You can’t turn the page on without it.
You can also use these optional placeholders:
{{OPENCEU_TITLE}}— your conference title{{OPENCEU_DATE}}— the conference date range{{OPENCEU_PRICE}}— the price (for example “Free”, “$199.00”, or “From $99.00”){{OPENCEU_CEUS}}— the total credit (for example “6 CEUs”)
Check “What we changed”
Your page runs in a locked-down frame, so we remove anything that could be unsafe. If we changed something, a box called What we changed in your HTML appears and lists it out.
Here is what gets removed:
- JavaScript
- Forms and form fields
- Embedded videos and iframes
- Links that don’t start with
https://,mailto:, ortel:. The text stays, but the link stops going anywhere.
A few other rules:
- Images must be hosted on an
https://address. - Google Fonts work. Other font services do not.
- Links open in a new tab.
- Fixed or sticky positioning in your CSS is converted to normal (relative) positioning. Your page runs in a frame that sizes itself to your content, so there is no fixed viewport for “stay in place while scrolling” styles to attach to.
Preview
Click Preview. This shows the real page, not an approximation — the same frame and the same rules visitors will see. Your OpenCEU header bar always sits above your design, and the registration box always sits below it.
Turn it on
Click Turn on to show your design to visitors. Click Turn offany time to put the built-in conference page back immediately — your HTML is kept, so turning it off is a safe undo.
Things to know
- Google reads your page title, description, dates, and price from your OpenCEU conference settings, not from the words inside your design. Keep your conference description filled in.
- Your visit numbers still work normally.
- The built-in conference page is still there any time you turn the custom page off.
