Design your club's website
Your website is built from your Club Routes calendar, routes and groups, so its runs are always up to date. You design it on the Design and home page tab of Website, under Club services in the side menu. You need the Owner, Editor or Website editor role. Without the website yet, the Website screen offers a 30-day free trial.
Design it
- Open Website in the side menu, under Club services.
- Under Logo, choose Add your logo. An SVG or large PNG with a see-through background works best.
- Pick a Look: Contour, Clean or Bold.
- Pick a Colour. Your logo's colours are offered first. If it's light, the website uses a darker shade for buttons and text.
- Choose the Headings style.
- Under Welcome, write the Headline and, if you like, a sentence or two. Add a photo puts a wide photo behind it.
- Under Home page, switch sections on or off and move them up or down. Next club run and This week fill themselves from your calendar.
- Under Club favourites, tick up to 6 routes.
- Spotlight shows one of your pages big on the home page, such as your race. Joining is the "come and run with us" part.
Every change saves straight away and shows in the preview beside it. Use Computer and Phone to check both, or Open the preview to see it full size in a new tab. Only your committee can see it until you choose Publish changes. On a phone, Preview and Publish changes stay at the bottom of the screen.
Publish changes puts your design, menu and all your pages live together. News posts are published one at a time.
Share the preview
To let committee members who don't use the portal see the draft, choose More, then Share the preview, then Make a link and Copy. Anyone with the link can see the draft for 30 days, without signing in. It isn't public. New link stops the old one working, and Stop sharing turns it off.
