Preparing for your upcoming events can be hard at times. You want people to know, but you’re not sure how. Sure, giving out flyers seems to be a good idea, but how about make an online event page? That way, people from different locations can see it online and you will have more chances of success in your hands. With EventWax, you can.
EventWax is a web2.0 ajax-based web service that allows you to have a special event page easily, from conferences and workshops to parties, gigs, and receptions. EventWax allows you to customize your event page (or use your own hosted web site), have versatile ticket types (allowing free, limited, early bird, bulk discounted, and numerous other options), accept payments through your PayPal account, Search and Sort attendee details, and send out invites and collect RSVPs. There are 3 main tabs on your admin account, and they are: Attendees, Tickets and Event Site.
The “Attedees” tab shows an overview of everyone attending your event. Attendees can be one of three statuses: Confirmed, Unconfirmed, and Cancelled. The Tickets page, which can be reached by selecting the “Tickets” tab in your event admin area, outlines the different types of tickets you have set up, and allows you to add new ones. A standard ticket is set up automatically when you create a new event, and different ticket types allow you to have tickets available at different times (such as an early-bird option), at different prices (such as a discounted rate for students), or with limited availabilities (if you wanted the first 50 tickets to be half price, for example). If you need to add additional charges, such as sales tax, or booking fee, simply select either the “add new percentage charge” or “add new fixed charge” link next to the Additional Charges heading on the main Tickets page. And finally, you can set up the web site for your event in the Event Site tab. The first thing you need to decide is whether you want an EventWax-hosted web site for your event, or if you want to use your own web site (hosted elsewhere) and simply link through to the registration pages.
Overall, it is very very easy to set up your own event page. Unfortunately, there are no pre-made templates by EventWax, resulting only a plain white event page. Although you can modify the CSS, for inexperience users, it can be hard to have a decent page (our sample page is HERE!). Thankfully you can opt to have your own page and have the registration linked to EventWax. There will be more features to come in the near future, including multiple payment options (such as invoicing and popular payment gateways such as Authorize.Net and Secpay), API remote control and access, integration with Upcoming.org, and more feature-rich event sites.
WorldTechLogic has posted a similar site before, called Annologger. Annologger has a better templating system, but with EventWax, you can have your own registration page and database. To signup for an EventWax account, you can go directly to the website.

[…] Overall, MyPunchBowl offers a very easy to use interface to create, customize, and send your party invitations. In fact, we couldn’t find a web service that does it better than MyPunchBowl. Unfortunately, images and pictures can only be shared using Flickr. WorldTechLogic has reviewed another similar service in the past, called EventWax. EventWax is more suitable for events that requires tickets, while MyPunchBowl is excellent for party invitations. Although in a different niche, compare to EventWax, MyPunchBowl has better templates and interface. EventWax’s strength lies in their ability to create our own CSS (suitable for more advanced users). At this time, for its ease of use, we would recommend MyPunchBowl to create and send out your party invitations. […]
