Your public website

A Chobble Tickets site can provide a homepage, listings, news, content pages and an optional contact page. If you already have a website, you can switch the public site off and share booking links directly.

Pages you write, alongside the listings

Write a page, give it a name and choose the web address it lives at. There is no separate step to publish it: it is at that address from the moment you save it, and the site's navigation offers it beside Home and Listings.

What a page holds

A page's content is written in Markdown, and it carries an ordered list of items: sub-pages, listings, and groups.

These items form a navigable menu, so a page about workshops can link straight to the workshop listings and to further sub-pages. You choose the order the pages are offered in, and you can take one down by typing its name to confirm.

Appearance

You set the site title, which appears as the main heading on every public page, and can upload a header image. The homepage text and contact page text are written in Markdown.

The site renders in a light or dark theme, and a toggle controls whether links are underlined. For anything beyond that, you can write your own CSS, which is served to visitors at /custom.css. The site can also run on your own custom domain.

Contact form

The contact page appears when it has contact content or an enabled form. The form can be switched on or off from the admin panel. Spam protection is available through Botpoison, a service that makes each sender's browser solve a small computational puzzle before the form submits.

Or switch it all off

If you only want Chobble Tickets for bookings, you can turn the public site off. Public pages then redirect away, but direct ticket links keep working, so you can link to bookings from your existing website.
