- The white space below the headerHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes. could be smaller
- Can you change the language for each event? The training team has members throughout the world and we schedule events in different languages.
- It is nice to be able to edit the templates and create a format that works for each group.

  I just made small adjustments on the test site in the child themeChild theme A Child Theme is a customized theme based upon a Parent Theme. It’s considered best practice to create a child theme if you want to modify the CSS of your theme. https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/., based on your 2 first suggestions, so it’s by default for all groups unless they have styled themselves in the editor
  
  Thanks a lot
