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

  1. Go to Notices in the Club Management Portal.
  2. Click Create Notice.
  3. Enter a Name for internal reference (visitors won't see this).
  4. Choose a Position: Above Header or Below Header.
  5. Pick a Background Color for the banner.
  6. Write your message in the Content editor. This is the text visitors will see, and it supports rich formatting.
  7. 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.
  8. Make sure Active is turned on when you're ready for the notice to go live.
  9. 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.
