Category: Sponsors

You can create a "Sponsors" page for your site under the Association menu that lists your association's sponsors along with a description and link to each one. In addition, each sponsor's name will be featured on the top right portion of you site at random whenever a page is displayed. These are great ways to give your sponsors the notice they deserve and to attract new ones as well. Note that if you choose not to enter any sponsors, the "Sponsors" menu choice will not appear under the Association menu, and the top right area of the site will remain blank.

To enter one or more sponsors, choose (click) the "Sponsors" choice under the Admin menu. The resulting form has the following fields:

Name

Type the name of the sponsor here.

Position

This will allow you to order your sponsors. Using the number "1" will place the sponsor first in the list.

URL

This is the address (or URL) of the sponsor's web site if there is one. If the sponsor doesn't have a web site, leave this field blank.

Description

Describe your sponsor here. You can enter as much information as you like. If the sponsor doesn't have a web site, you may want to ask him or her for a paragraph or two to put in this field. The text you enter here will appear below the sponsor's name on the Contacts page. Note that you can include HTML formatting tags in your text like "Bold" or "Italic" or even a hyperlink like: "A Web Site".
