Heads up! This article is only intended for Site Managers.

Custom Pages let you share key information in one centralized spot on your site. You can use them for FAQs, volunteer forms, special events, an About Us page, or even to filter opportunities by location and link to filtered views.

To make a Custom Page visible, share its unique URL and feature it on your site with a Spotlight (or another accessible link). Keep in mind: Custom Pages don’t appear automatically—if the link isn’t placed correctly, users won’t be able to find them.

ℹ️ So you know: Some sites use different terms or menu options. For example, you might see Needs instead of Opportunities or Agencies instead of Programs. Each site can be customized, so the options you see may differ from the examples shown here.

Getting Started

  1. Go to Content > Custom Pages and click Add New Page.

  2. Fill out the Edit Page fields to customize your page.

  3. Click Submit Page to finish.
