CommuniBee caters to a variety of content needs with specialized templates for events, products, donations, sponsors, and news posts. If you’re aiming to craft a custom page—a static page that doesn’t conform to these predefined templates—CommuniBee offers the flexibility to create from scratch.
To add new pages, navigate through your dashboard to the Content tab found on the side menu. This action takes you to the Pages tab, where existing pages, including those from any chosen template during your community’s initial setup, are displayed. Here is where you have the capability to add, edit, or delete pages to suit your needs.
To create a new page, click Add Page.
Every new page will require the same general information, which will also be included on its Feature Card.
As you fill in the details above, a Sample Preview dynamically updates to give you a sneak peek of how your page will appear once shared. This is an example of what a Feature Card looks like.
This section is all about the design of the hero section for your page. You can upload images or link to a video to feature on this page. Depending on the media type and positioning, you can control how visitors will first encounter your page:
Add any text content you wish to display on the page using the HTML editor. If left blank, we present the Short Description that was entered on the General tab. If you selected to use Custom Blocks Only from the Media tab, you can ignore this tab as you will be using page blocks from the Layout tab to add your content.
Not only can you preview your page from this tab, but you can also make additional changes to the overall page layout.
To build on this page and add additional sections, follow the steps below:
To rearrange a block, use your mouse and hold left click on it, then drag the block above or below another block. Let go of left click to set the block in place. Learn more about the available page blocks.
The Visibility tab is where you make the page visible to your guests.
Status
You have the flexibility to change the page status at any time. Additionally, you can schedule when a page goes live or set it to archive automatically at a future date and time.
Schedule a Publish Date: Enter the date and time you wish to have the page become visible to your guests. Then set the status to Live and save. Note, a static page must be linked somewhere in your CommuniBee site in order to be accessible to guests, such as to the Top Menu, or to an existing page via a side item block.
Automatically Hide: Enter a Hide After date and time and your page will be automatically archived once this date is reached. This makes it inaccessible to guests and ensures the content on your website stays up to date.
Tip: To get a comprehensive understanding of the many settings and options available, consider setting your page status to Live after you’re done with the General tab. This action unlocks the ability to click on the Preview tab just below the Visibility tab. Additionally, an Overview tab will appear which includes a View option. Both of these options will allow you to see your page as it would appear to your website visitors. Continuously reviewing your page from a guest perspective whenever you make a change is the simplest and most effective way to ensure your page looks just right!
