BAW - Editing Banners (Home Page)

Introduction

1) Your website features banners that you can edit, which are the images you see at the top of the webpages. On the home page, you have the home page rotator, or this banner at the top here, which rotates to promote different content available on your website.

 

2) On the inside pages, you have a fixed image at the top.

 

3) To edit your banners, click on the "Banners" icon.

 

4) In the banner editing tool, the "Home Page" tab will be selected at the top. This tab will show you all the banners that are currently being scrolled through on your home page.

 

Adding a new home page banner

1) To add a new slide, click on "Add Slide".

 

2) A window will appear. At the top, there are three tabs that allow you to add content to the new slide. The first two tabs – "Featured News" and "Financial Briefs" – show lists of content, written by Advisor Products, for you to pick from.

 

3) At the top of the "Featured News" list you can also select the latest weekly investment update that is written every Friday.

 

4) Select the article you want to include as the content for your banner and check the box next to it.

 

5) Once you've picked it, click "Submit".

 

6) The banner is added to the list of content that your home page banner will rotate through.

 

7) If you want to add your own content instead of an existing article, click on "Add Slide", and then click on the tab at the top that says "Custom Category".

 

8) Then click "Submit".

 

9) You then have fields to complete. First, enter your link in this bottom field. You can link to an external website or article, or you can select a link from your own website. We start here because, if you select a link on your own website, it will populate the Headline field automatically, overwriting anything that you've already put there.

 

10) If you click on "Available Link", a list of the pages you have on your website will appear.

 

11) You may have created a page with some content that you want the rotator to link to – so this is where you can select that content. Select a page by clicking it.

 

12) Next, enter your headline in the top field. If this has been automatically populated, you can leave it as it is, or you can edit what it says.

 

13) The middle field is for your intro. This is text that is displayed underneath the banner headline. If you do not see this after you've saved your banner, talk to us as we'll need to change a setting behind the scenes.

 

14) Click "Done" to save your changes so far.

 

15) You'll see that your content is now in the list of banners. Click "Edit" to go back into it.

 

16) You then need to select the image to use as your banner. You can use one of the banners that are already uploaded for you, or you can select your own. To select one of the existing banners, click on the "Available Banner" button.

 

17) If you've previously uploaded images, then you'll see these in the photo library.

 

18) To pick an image from our image bank, click on this "Photo CentCom" button, and you'll see a range of images to pick from.

 

19) You can search by theme by using the drop-down box at the top of the window.

 

20) Click the image you want to use.

 

21) It will appear in this window. You can move the image around by dragging it in the box, and you can also use the arrows above the image to do the same thing. You can also zoom in or out of the image by using the scroller on your mouse, if you have one.

 

22) If you don't like the changes you've made at any time, you can use the "Reset" button to start again.

 

23) If you want to see what the image looks like in the banner, you can click "Preview".

 

24) The preview will then appear in a new window.

 

25) When you've finished editing the image, click "Done".

 

26) Your changes will be saved and the banner will be live in your Home Page Rotator.

 

Editing Home Page Banners

1) If you want to edit any of the existing home page banners, go to the banner you want to change and click "Edit".

 

2) You can change the text in the headline and intro fields, and the link in the link field.

 

3) When you've made those changes, click "Done" to save them.

 

4) To add your own picture, drag and drop an image onto this field, or click the field to select the file from your computer. Depending on your upload speed and the size of the picture, it might take a little while to upload.

 

5) Once it has uploaded, you'll see it appear in this window.

 

6) Drag the image around to position it. You can also use the arrows above the image. If you want to zoom in or out of the image, use the scroller on your mouse, if you have one.

 

7) If you don't like the changes you've made at any point, you can use the "Reset" button to start again.

 

8) If you want to see what the image looks like in the banner, you can click "Preview".

 

9) The image will appear in a new window.

 

10) If you change your mind and want to use a different image, click on the "Upload" button and it will reset the field so that you can upload a new image.

 

11) When you're happy with what the image looks like, click "Done" and it will save your changes.

 

12) You'll see the updated banner in this list.

 

13) On your home page, you can see how the banner looks in the rotator.

 

Removing content from the home page rotator

1) If you don't like some of the content that's already available on the rotator, you can just delete it. Got to the content you want to delete, and click the "Remove" button underneath it.

 

2) A pop up will appear that asks you if you're sure you want to remove the slide. Click "OK" and that content will be deleted.
