Overview

Web Content provides you with the ability to create pages on your website with templates for Blog, Coupon/Deals, Job Postings, News and other ideas you create. Ythe Iou may add additional content types as needed to your database, then include on your web-site, or the Info Hub or both.

Ideas for Web Content Types:

  • Job Postings – list of employment opportunities in your area. You may create separate content types, for instance, you may wish to showcase just your association postings on one page and have a separate type for your member postings.
  • Coupons/Deals – list of specials or online coupons. You may have one type for members only and another page listing deals available to any website viewer.
  • News – list of announcements, articles, newsletters or any other type of post. Create a news type for your association newsletters and create another for membership announcements.
  • Blog – a simple posting feature for creating blog posts. (note: does not currently contain ability to comment)
  • Testimonials – share your membership stories. Include their logo/photo. Or use as a member of the month posting.

Content Types

On installation of the software, standard content types (Job Postings, Coupons/Deals, News, Blog and Testimonial) are in your database. Content Types are used to organize your content on the web, as well as report and filter within the software. To begin using these, you will need to enable their use.
