Add a sub-homepage
A sub-homepage is a unique area within your community platform, dedicated to content around a specific area. Sub-homepages can be used to guide or funnel members and browsers towards a landing page for a variety of things. Examples of sub-homepages include:
- local timebanks set up within a county-wide timebank
- platform partners micro-site, promoting what they do and linking to their members & activities
- short-term 'updates' hub for a community fundraiser
- niche resource centres combining information pages and activities
A sub-homepage has a main 'parent' page with a header, links to social media and space for content, added in 'segments' as created on landing pages.
The sub-homepage can then have its own unique menu of pages. These are called 'child pages'. Each child page can be designed using the page layout options explained here.
