The first step in building your website is to organise your content into categories (and sub-categories if necessary). Once you've established your category titles, you can begin assigning articles to them. Within the article page, is where you determine whether the content will be member-only or available to everyone. Content can also be assigned to specific member groups created and listed in the Member Manager. Member groups can correspond to a particular subscription plan. It's also important to make some free content available. This is good for SEO and for gaining new members.
Follow this step-by-step guide to get your site ready to launch. Start by deciding the aims for your site. Create an outline of the content you plan to include and design a layout of your navigation. Next proceed through each of the following steps, adding the necessary details.
The About Us page is your opportunity to introduce yourself, the team or company to your audience.
Share your story. Be authentic. Take some time to present your qualifications and expertise. Promote the services you or your company provide and the benefits your content has to offer.
Include individual bios and engaging profile photos of yourself and team members.
Now create your own About Us page. Click the Edit button in the upper right corner, delete this content and add your own words and images.
By following some basic rules, you can create a professional looking website. Remember, not only is the quality of your content important but providing a consistent and accessible presentation enhances the enjoyment of the user experience. Limit yourself to one font face for body content and another for headings. Keep your pages clean, eliminate unnecessary clutter, proofread and spellcheck. Bear in mind, that the majority of your visitors will be logged in through a mobile device or tablet, so it's vital to optimise space. Incorporate your images into the text body by wrapping the font around an image using the alignment icons in the editor.
