    We found when we added text into an image that we used as our header it often got cut off or stretched improperly because of the dynamic resizing. We've discovered if you do layered images (We do an image with no text as the background and then an image layer over it centered that is our event text) it solves the problem and looks so much nicer and ...

You can also create CC fields that don't attach to someone's Cvent profile. #Registration ...

    If you need to add a phone list in the app for contacts, and you want to make them interactive (click-to-dial), it requires HTML coding that isn't supported on custom pages yet.
