This guide offers a comprehensive overview of how to effectively utilie ClubSite for managing and customizing your club's web presence. It details the process of adding and editing pages, setting up navigation menus, and incorporating various media, ensuring users can create a tailored online experience that meets their club's needs.

ClubSites are a convenient way to manage your Club's Website without the need ton have any prior technical knowledge. ClubSites work by allowing you to add 'blocks' to pages. These blocks make up the content of your ClubSite and we offer a wide range of them. ClubSites offer a wide range of customisation from backgrounds to fonts ensuring users can created a tailored online experience that meets their club's needs.

Intro

Navigate to [https://www.clubv1.com/ClubSite/SitePages](https://www.clubv1.com/ClubSite/SitePages)
Your Clubsite by default will have prepopulated pages and custom pages already created. Prepopulated pages are pages that can't be deleted but can be hidden from your clubsite. These are the Home, policy and terms and condition pages.

The custom pages are ones that can be added, edited and deleted by the users.

Adding a new page

At the top of the list of pages, there is a '+' icon. Selecting this will create a new page.
You will be prompted to enter a name for your new page. Note that this page name must be unique.

Editing page details

If you wish to edit any of the details for an existing custom page, you can select the page on the left and then select the highlighted icon below.
When editing the page details, you have the option to remove the page, link it to a nav menu item, change the name, set whether the page name should show as a header on the page and change the status of the page. The status of the page can either be published or draft. Draft will hide this page from your clubsite.
Once you are done editing the page details, select the save icon at the top.

Adding blocks to a page

To add a block to your page select the '+' at the top.
The "Add New Block" page will open. On the left of this page you can select what form of block you would like, for example a document block or a text block. Selecting this will then present you with all the different options on the right.

Block Settings

After selecting a block, you will be presented with block settings on the right hand side.

The first setting for each block is "Visible". This setting dictates whether this block should show on your live Clubsite or not. By default this will be set to "Hide" so the block doesn't show when not set up correctly so be sure to change this once happy with your block.

You will be able to add Block headers and descriptions for your blocks. After this the block specific settings display, so for example on an Open Competitions block you can customise the colours.
At the very top of the block settings, you have the "Save Block" and "Remove Block" options.

Navigation Menus

Click "Menus"
You will first be presented with the "Menu Items" tab. From here you can create navigation menu items by selecting the '+'.
The "New Nav Menu Item" page will display allowing you to name the menu item.
After adding a menu item you will see it in this list. Selecting the menu item will give you further options on the right.

You can update the name of the item, select a page to link the item to so when clicked the selected page will show and choose whether the menu item is hidden or not.
Selecting "Add Child Menu Item" will allow you to create a new submenu item. This will convert the parent menu item into a dropdown menu and any linked page/custom URL assigned to the parent menu item will be removed.
Child Menu Items can be accessed by expanding the Parent Menu Item as seen below.
Premium product level users are able to add 7 custom menu items, with 3 custom sticky links and there's no limit on the number of child menu items that can be added per navigation menu item.

For non premium product levels, you can have 3 custom menu items, 1 custom sticky link and 4 child menu items per navigation menu item.

You can choose whether the Club Crest and Club Name should show. Choose to use the Full Club name or Short Club name as well as selecting background and font colours for your Nav Menu.
