Adding Optional Standard Pages

You will see that you already have a homepage built from information provided through the registration process.

Standard pages available for use

You can edit this information in ‘Manage Website' then ‘Use standard pages'. By enabling the standard pages as shown in this section you can add pages to your website using a pre-set format such as an events calendar, a notice board or a discussion forum. These pages are all optional.

If you would like to add additional pages and content for your website you can do this by either:

• Enabling and editing standard pages, or
• Creating more customised pages

The standard page types available are:

Job Listings Add job listings to your web site so that subscribers can then apply for vacancies

Classified Ads Add classified adverts that subscribers to your web site can then answer

Feeds Bring up to date information to your website using data feeds from other sites

Events Calendar Publicise your events by adding them to a calendar

Discussions Set up a discussion forum about relevant topics with subscribers to your web site

Noticeboard Add different types of notices and links to other websites

Weblog An online diary for you to communicate with users

Surveys Conduct surveys about relevant topics with users

Our Files Add other relevant files to your web site

Photo Album Add photos to your web site

Useful Links Add useful links to your web site

FAQs Answer common questions that may arise when visitors use your web site

To enable (or ‘turn on') any of these pages:

• Go to ‘Manage Website' and select ‘Use standard pages'
• A list of services will appear. Click on the word ‘Enable' beside the services you would like to have on your site
• The page should then appear on the left hand navigational menu
• By clicking on ‘Rename' you can change the name of any of your pages

In the example below, the Administrator has enabled everything except for  ‘Useful Links', ‘FAQ', ‘Classifieds', ‘Feeds' and ‘Petitions' pages and can now change the permissions or re-name any of the enabled pages.

Editing and managing each of these pages is described in detail under the relevant helpsheet.

Services and Permissions

You can grant users or other administrators permissions to make changes to your services. By setting permissions for each page, you can choose which members of your audience are allowed to add and edit content on your site.

To change the permissions on altering your website:

• Go to ‘Manage Website' and select ‘Use standard pages'
• A list of services will appear. Click on the word ‘Permissions' (this will only be availablefor services you have already enabled)
• Allow members, administrators or the general public degrees of access to your website (‘Read', ‘Edit', ‘Admin')
