Set up a membership home page

The Membership Home Page is where you can direct your audience to view and purchase the memberships available within your community. Any memberships you create with a status of “Live” will display on the Membership’s Home Page automatically.

To get started, click on the Memberships menu option, and select the tab called Membership Home Page.

General

Membership Home Name: this is the name for your home page.
Page Slug: a unique web address suffix for your page, automatically generated but this is editable.
Short Description: provide a summary of this page that will be displayed when shared online or on other pages.
Feature Image: upload an image that will be featured when this page is shared online or showcased within your community.

Check out the Sample Preview as you fill in the fields above to get an idea on how page will appear when shared throughout your community’s website.

Configuration

On this tab, the fields below will help you further design your Membership Home Page.

Show Category Tiles: you have the option to showcase membership categories as distinct tiles on the home page. If this option is not turned on, categories will remain accessible from a sidebar menu.
Memberships Shown Per Category: decide how many memberships per category will appear on this page. If you’re not using categories, your memberships will display on the home page automatically.
Membership Home Description: enter in as much detail as needed to describe your home page.
Color Highlight: this will appear on the tile for your home page whenever shared and linked to throughout your community.

Media

This section is all about the design of your home 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 this page:

Media Position: choose where you want your image or video to appear. If you added a feature image, this image would present here as well. You may remove it altogether if you do not wish to have an image shown on this page. Alternatively, you can upload a different image to take its place or add more images, which will appear as a sliding carousel.
- Header & Body Only: no image, no problem. Your page will display the Membership Home Name and any content provided on the Configuration tab (previous step). No image upload necessary.
- Media On Left: keep your image and content together within a single section, allowing your image to appear on the left, and your page name and content on the right. This is suitable if you’re using square images.
- Media Full Width At Top: emulate the classic web page header with this setting, where your image spans across the top of the page, creating a striking banner—often referred to as the Hero section.
  - Adjustments for images in this layout include:
    - Banner Aspect Ratio: dictate the general dimensions of your banner image(s).
    - Banner Max Height: set the maximum height for your banner image(s).
    - Image Anchor: choose where your image is focused by anchoring it to the desired section of the page—top, center, or bottom—ensuring the key parts of your image are always displayed prominently.
  - Use Custom Blocks Only: feeling ambitious and want to build this page from the ground up? Select this option and navigate to the Layout tab to create a unique page using our pre-built Page Blocks.
Media Type
- If you selected Media on Left or Media Full Width At Top from the Media Position dropdown, you can decide on the media type (Images or Video).
  - Images: you can browse from your media library or upload new images. If you upload multiple images, they will appear in a carousel.
  - Video: Currently, we support embedding videos from YouTube. To link a video, go to YouTube, click the Share button beneath the video, and choose Embed. Copy the URL provided there and return to your CommuniBee dashboard to paste it into the Video URL field.

Layout

Not only can you preview your Membership Home 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:

Under where it says, Choose Another Template or Block to Add, click on the Add Block To End
A Page Block screen will appear that lists individual blocks that can be added to your page. For example, a Text Block to include text and an optional button, a Multiple Item Block to feature specific items from your community, and more.
Click the Add button to have the block appear on your page.
Depending on the block type you select, you will have different customization options. As you make changes to a page block, a preview will update live on your screen so you can know exactly how your page will look before you save.
After you finish customizing a page block, be sure to hit the Save button so you don’t lose your work.
For any additional blocks you add, you have the option to edit, duplicate, or delete individual blocks by using the icons on the right side of each block.

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.

Visibility

With your Membership Home Page fully designed and ready to share to your audience, the Visibility tab is where you make the page visible.

Status

Draft: this is the initial status for new pages. Draft pages are not visible to your guests.
Live: set the page live to make it visible on your CommuniBee site.
Archived: for pages that you want removed from your website. Once Archived, the page will be accessible from your dashboard and can be permanently deleted by navigating to its General tab.

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 click Save.

Automatically Hide: set a Hide After date and time for your page to be automatically archived once this time is reached.

Note, the Membership Home Page is not accessible to your guests until you link it to your CommuniBee site. You may consider adding this page into your site’s Top Menu or embedding it within another page using a side item block for easy access.

Tip: To get a comprehensive understanding of the many settings and options available, select the Preview tab which allows you to see the page as your visitors would. 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!
