# Build Your Booth Experience

Now for the fun part: designing what your guests see and do! This step covers customizing everything from the photo appearance to how to navigate your settings.

***

### Where to Customize

Event settings can be edited from two different locations:

* In your online [dashboard](https://app.simplebooth.com/) on any computer.
* In the HALO app on your iPad.

Your changes sync between the two, so you can start on your computer and fine-tune or make last-minute changes on the iPad.

### Create a Preset and Pair a Gallery

Every photo your booth captures is created using a **preset** and sent to a connected **gallery**. These two pieces work together, but they serve different roles.

1. [Create a preset](https://docs.simplebooth.com/customization-guide/basic-setup/create-a-preset): Presets control the booth-side experience, including photo appearance, editing tools available to participants, and things like data capture (Pro & Select plans only).
2. [Pair a gallery](https://docs.simplebooth.com/customization-guide/basic-setup/pair-a-gallery): your gallery stores your event photos and lets guests save and share their photos on social media. is the online collection where your event photos are saved, and where guests can share to social media.

{% hint style="info" %}
In most circumstances, you will want to set up a brand new preset & gallery for each of your events or activations. [Learn more](https://docs.simplebooth.com/customization-guide/basic-setup/create-a-preset/create-a-new-preset).
{% endhint %}

### Customize the Look and Experience

* Use the [layout designer](https://docs.simplebooth.com/customization-guide/layout-designer) to design how your photos will look.
* Use the [experience designer](https://docs.simplebooth.com/customization-guide/experience-designer) to set up what guests see before, during, and after capturing their photo, including start screens, capture settings, effects, and sharing.
* Use the [gallery designer](https://docs.simplebooth.com/gallery-design) to customize the online gallery's privacy, appearance, and the Live Feed slideshow tool.
