Website

What people see at your organization's address before they sign in: a home page, more pages where your plan has them, pages for units, and your programs on a website of your own.

Write your home page

  1. If the page warns that no privacy notice is linked yet, press Give its address in Your data first.
  2. Press Edit at the end of Home page's row, then type the Line above your name and an Introduction.
  3. Write About us. A blank line starts a new paragraph.
  4. Give a Contact email, an Address and Your own website, whichever you have.
  5. Press Choose a picture for a wide cover picture across the top.
  6. Under Show on the page, check the parts you want, such as Upcoming events or Install the app.
  7. Press Save, then View your website to see it.

Then: Saved. Your home page shows it now: your name on a line of its own under the line you chose, sign-in on the same page, and under Upcoming events the next three events you have opened to the public. Replies to your organization's emails go to the contact email too, unless a unit's page gives its own.

Rather not? Uncheck a part under Show on the page to hide it: what you wrote in it is kept.

Mary Ann types Welcome to above the name, writes two paragraphs About us, adds a wide photo of the team and checks Upcoming events. A visitor to riverside.org-app.com now sees the photo, the name on a line of its own, the next three public events and the sign-in form beside them.

Add another page

  1. Under More pages, press Add a page and choose in Kind of page: A page of your own, Events or Contact.
  2. Type its Title. A page of your own takes its address from the title, like about-us.
  3. Press Add page. A page of your own opens for you to write.
  4. Back on the list, check Published to publish it, and In the menu to list it in the menu across the top. Each is saved as you check it.
  5. Move a page with its arrows, or press Remove at the end of its row, then Remove it.

Then: A new page is a draft until you publish it, so nobody outside sees it until then. A page left out of the menu is reached only by its address. A removed page's words cannot be brought back.

Daniel adds a page called Our story, writes it, and leaves it a draft over the weekend. On Monday Daniel checks Published and In the menu, and the page is at riverside.org-app.com/our-story, with Our story in the menu.

Show your programs on your own website

  1. Press Edit at the end of Show on your website's row, and switch on Share programs with my website.
  2. Under Websites that may show the widget, type the address your visitors see, starting https://. Press Add a website for another, up to 5.
  3. Choose a Category, a Unit, How many, up to 50, and a Style.
  4. Choose whether to Show courses too, and what happens When somebody presses a program.
  5. Press Save.
  6. Under Put it on your website, copy 1. The widget, 2. Inline cards or 4. The WordPress shortcode, and paste it into your website.

Then: A change takes about 6 minutes to show; on WordPress about 20 minutes. Each program opens its page on ORG-APP, where people register and pay.

Who: Whoever looks after your other website pastes it in. On WordPress, the plugin keeps a page up to date by itself once it has your address on ORG-APP.

Grace's organization has a WordPress website. Grace switches sharing on, installs the plugin, and puts the shortcode on its Events page. A program Grace opens to the public appears there within about 20 minutes, and its Register button opens the program's page on ORG-APP.

If a program is missing from your website, or still shows

  1. Press Edit at the end of Show on your website's row.
  2. Check the program is open to the public. Only those are shared, soonest first, up to the number in How many, and a finished one drops off.
  3. Check the Category and the Unit chosen.
  4. If the widget shows an empty box or a refusal, add the address your visitors see under Websites that may show the widget, starting https://.
  5. Press Save.

Then: Websites keep what they were sent for about 6 minutes, and a WordPress site about 20 minutes. After that they follow what you saved, and with sharing switched off they show nothing.

Give units pages of their own

  1. Press Edit at the end of Pages for units' row, then check the levels under Levels with a page.
  2. Under What every unit page shows, in order, check each part to show, and number them in the order you want.
  3. Press Save.

Then: Saved. Every unit page follows it from now on. Each unit's Coordinator writes its own page under Hierarchy › Web pages, and Find us lists them all. A part with nothing to show is left out of a page.

Who: Each unit's Coordinator writes its page. Who leads us names only the Coordinators and leads who agreed to be named, under Your account.

Only an organization-wide role that changes settings, such as the Owner or an Admin, changes the website; anybody else who opens the page sees its pages with every switch disabled, and opens each part with View to read it, under a notice at the top that says who changes it. The page opens only on a plan with a website. More pages needs a plan that includes them, and Pages for units shows only where they are switched on.
