Notices
A Notice is a site-wide banner that appears above or below the header on every page of your club's website. It's a great way to share time-sensitive updates — schedule changes, registration deadlines, weather alerts, or anything your members need to see right away.
Creating a notice
- Go to Notices in the Club Management Portal.
- Click Create Notice.
- Enter a Name for internal reference (visitors won't see this).
- Choose a Position: Above Header or Below Header.
- Pick a Background Color for the banner.
- Write your message in the Content editor. This is the text visitors will see, and it supports rich formatting.
- Set Activation Date and Deactivation Date if you want the banner to appear and disappear on a schedule. Leave these blank to control timing manually with the Active switch.
- Make sure Active is turned on when you're ready for the notice to go live.
- Save.
When a notice is visible
A notice appears on the site when all three conditions are met:
- Active is turned on
- Activation Date is either blank or already in the past
- Deactivation Date is either blank or still in the future
This means you can prepare a notice ahead of time, set the dates, and it will appear and disappear automatically — no need to come back and toggle it off.
One notice at a time
You can create multiple notice records, but the site only displays one — whichever active notice it finds first. If you need to rotate announcements, turn off the current notice before activating a new one.
Tips for effective notices
- Keep the message short. A notice banner works best when someone can read it at a glance.
- Set a Deactivation Date for anything temporary so it doesn't linger after the event or deadline passes.
- Turn off old notices when you're done with them to keep your list clean.
