Homepage feature boxes: our suggested starting set
Prepared by Cuberis for the Miami Book Fair team, October 12, 2026
What we need from you: a simple yes, or edits to any wording below. That is the last item before the new homepage can go live.
The boxes change on their own by date, so this one approval covers the run-up to the Fair, Fair week, and the months after. Your team can edit, add, or switch off any box at any time from the WordPress dashboard (Homepage Promos).
1. From launch until the Fair opens
Now through Saturday, November 14
The annual Fair

A few open questions
- Exhibitors. The current homepage says exhibitor applications are "Now Open!", but the Exhibitors page still shows 2025. We left exhibitors out of the boxes. Tell us if applications are still open and we will add one.
- Next Page Dinner cutoff. Is there a last day to buy a seat before November 20? We will end the box on that date.
- Opening Day Block Party. Once you have the date and details, it would make a strong Fair-week box. Its page currently reads "More information coming soon."
- Street Fair Friday. Please confirm Friday, November 20 is still free for everyone, since the Fair-week box leads with it.
