How Can I Add or Highlight Sponsors?

 

There are two ways that you may want to highlight your Sponsors as a "thank you" for their donation.

(1) Use Banners to Highlight Sponsors

If you would like to highlight your Sponsors, one way is to use the “Banners” feature within “Manage School.”  You can either create a static Banner or create up to 5 Banners that rotate through on your site.

 

You can also hyperlink each Banner to go directly to the Sponsors site as shown below.

 

(2) Create a Custom Page to Showcase Your Sponsors All Year

If you would like to not only showcase your Sponsors, but provide more information and keep the information on your site all year, you can add a “Custom Page.”  You can also include your Sponsors’ logo and contact information, as well as any other information about the Sponsor you would like to include like hyperlinks to the Sponsor’s website.

In order to do that, you need to first create a “Custom Page.”  Information on how to add a “Custom Page” below, but if you would like to see additional information, please take a look at the article, What are Custom Pages & How Do I Create Them?

  • Make sure you are logged in as a Super Admin, and you are on your homepage.
  • Then, scroll down the left side of your page until you see “Add Menu.”
  • Click on “Add Menu,” and you will see this box:

 

  • “Menu Title” is the name that you would like to name the “Custom Page.”
  • “Display Order” is the order you would like your “Custom Pages” to be listed.  The “Display Order” should be numerical in this section.  For example, number your pages in the order you would like with 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.
  • Click “Save” and you will see your title on the left side menu.  For example, if you created a “Custom Page” named “Meeting Minutes,” it would look like this:

 

  • Click on the actual title, “Meeting Minutes” and it will take you to a screen where you can start adding your “pages.”  
  • Click “Add a Page” to create your first “tab.” 

 

  • This will take you to the “page” where you can add text, images and/or logos in JPEG or PNG format as well as hyperlinks and videos.

 

  • Make sure you click “Save” when you are finished with your page!

 

Here is an example of what your page could look after you add in logos and hyperlinks.  In this example, the logos are hyperlinked as well as the text.
