Promote your group online with design templates and easily editable pages — no coding required. Groups can easily create and maintain a website with always up-to-date data and listings of activities, and interactive modules such as News and Forum.
Pages and navigation
Log in, Manage your Group, and click on Website on the left-hand menu.
To start creating your navigation, click the "Create Menu" and "Create Page" buttons located at the top right corner of the page. To create a menu, you will only need to type its name and click on "OK" (you can next subpages under this page). To create a page, type its name and choose a template for your page. Then, click on "Create."
You can then assign pages to a menu by using the "Select a Menu" dropdown. Reorder menus and pages by dragging and dropping them in the list. Click and hold to drag the move icon located on the right of the screen.
To upload the website logo, click on "Website Settings"
The "Home" radio button on a page allows you to define which page will be the Home page.
Delete", "Rename" and "Duplicate" actions are also accessible under the far-right menu. The "Access" button allows you to restrict the privacy of a page to specific users (e.g. restrict a page to members of the group only). The "Settings" button gives you access to advanced options such as redirecting a page to an external URL.
The "Publish" checkbox allows you to publish or unpublish a page, and checking the "Hide in Menu" box will remove your page's link from its menu.
Basic editing
To edit a page, you can either click on the "Edit" button of the page you want to edit from the pages list, or access your page in preview mode by either clicking on the link at the top of the page or clicking on the "Preview" button.
Click the top left red icon to navigate back to the manage page or the blue Edit icon to access edit mode. The screen should then be divided vertically in two sections:
The list of content stripes is on the left.
Content stripes
The content stripes are the content elements that allow you to build a page. Drag and drop any of them from the left to the right section of the screen to add content to your website.
The content of your page is on the right. You can edit content by clicking on a text element (title, paragraph…) and updating it with your own text. Hovering on a stripe should reveal "Move", "Delete" and "Duplicate" buttons in the right corner. You can horizontally drag and drop the stripes anywhere on the page. Some stripes have a background image which can be edited by hovering, and clicking the bottom right icon.
Stripes are sometimes composed of recurring elements that can be deleted or duplicated. The element can be a single image, or several text elements and images. Once the edits are complete, select the green save button on the top left of the screen to apply the changes to the page. Or you can click the red button to cancel any modifications.
Dynamic stripes
These stripes allow you to automatically pull data from the Embark platform and are constantly regenerated to stay up to date. No need to enter or update data manually! Examples of dynamic stripes are:
