Start Here: Your First EverFrame Event

If you are brand new to EverFrame, this guide walks you through everything in order. By the end, you will have your account, your plan, and your first event fully configured and ready for guests.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Create your EverFrame account first so your events, media, and settings are saved to your profile. Once signed in, you are ready to choose your plan.

Sign up for EverFrame

Step 2: Choose Your Plan (Free Tier Included)

Go to plan selection and choose the option that fits your needs. EverFrame includes a Free tier, and you can upgrade if you want higher limits and additional capabilities. After selecting your plan, complete payment if required for that tier.

Step 3: Create a New Event

Click the event button to create your first event. This opens the event setup screen where you configure everything: basic details, design, and guest permissions.

Event Basics You Should Fill In

  • Event name (clear and recognizable for guests)
  • Image banner (cover visual for your gallery)
  • Event date (helps with organization and context)
  • Event type (wedding, birthday, business, general, etc.)

Step 4: Configure the Event Design

In the design section, personalize how the gallery looks and feels. Your event message is especially important: treat it as a welcoming text that sets the tone for guests during the active life of your event.

Design Options in the Event Setup Screen

  • Welcome message (expiring welcome text for users while the event is active)
  • Title font
  • Text font
  • Primary font color
  • Secondary/accent color

Step 5: Set Event Visibility and Interaction Rules

The event setup screen gives you full control over privacy and participation. Configure permissions based on how open or private you want the experience to be.

  • Whether the event is public
  • Whether people can view media
  • Whether people can upload photos/videos
  • Whether people can post messages
  • Whether people can view messages
  • Whether people can like or comment on media
  • Whether to create a trivia or poll experience

Step 6: Save and Share

After finishing the event setup, save your event and share it with your guests. You can update settings later, but starting with clear naming, strong design, and the right permissions gives you the smoothest launch.
