❖ Heads up! This article is only intended for Site Managers.
Custom Pages are a great way to share key information in one centralized spot on your site. For example, you can create a custom page to display a site FAQ list, share a volunteer form, post about special events, or manage an About Us page. These are just a few possibilities of what you can do with Custom Pages. Custom Pages are flexible and can also be used to filter opportunities by location or connect to clickable links created through filtered views.
You can also share your Custom Pages and highlight them on your site with a Spotlight too! Just copy the unique URL created for your Custom Pages and share it with your community. Remember, custom pages don't automatically appear on the site—they must be linked somewhere accessible, like through a Spotlight widget, to ensure users can navigate to them. Incorrect links could lead to visibility issues.
ℹ️ So you know: Some sites have language overrides. This means you may see Needs instead of Opportunities, Agencies instead of Programs, or Prerequisites instead of Qualifications. You may also notice different menu options available, as each site is set up differently than the ones presented in the examples here.
