Banners
ADD BANNER
The banners module allows you to post a clickable image on subpages of the site. This provides a great way to advertise an upcoming event, direct visitors to a specific page, or link to a sponsor's website.
- The Banner Name appears as an alt tag that visitors see when hovering over the image on the front of the site
- Enter in a URL for the banner to link to. Note: this can link to an internal page or an external website.
- Use the Start Date and End Date fields to determine when it will be accessible. The end date is optional.
- Use the Activate field to determine whether or not the banner is currently active.
- Select which main navigation sections the banner will display on by checking the boxes. Note: the banner system will only display on subpages of the site.
- Use the Any Comments to remember field to post internal comments about the banner (e.g. what the goal or purpose of the banner is)
- Use the browse button to upload an image for the banner. Note: If linking to an internal page, you may wish to create a graphic that says Click Here so the visitor realizes it's a clickable image.
- Click Save.
BANNER CLICKS
The Banner module can be used as a marketing tool to help encourage visitors to access certain pages of the site. The banner clicks section allows you to see how effective the banner has been.
Use the month and year drop down menus to select what time range you'd like to view clicks for.
Views - The number of times the banner was viewed
Clicks - The number of times the banner was actually clicked on
Click % - The percentage of time the banner was viewed and then clicked on
