Create a Community Landing Page

Create a community landing page to group together information about a region, including locations, projects and events happening in the area. 

In this article, we'll show you how to:

• create a landing page in the Pages tool
• add a Region category to the page
• add this page to your site menu to make it easy for the public to access. 

Create a landing page

1. In the main dashboard, navigate to Site Content in the Left-hand menu.
2. Click Pages.
   
3. To create a new landing page, click on the + in the top right corner of the screen. 
4. Give your Page a Title, Summary and provide a description in the Body. Upload an Image. 
5. When you have finished, click Done and then Publish. 

Add a category content block to your landing page

Categories make it easy for users to search for projects they are interested in. There are two types of Categories in District Engage: Regions (locations) and Tags (topics of interest).

By adding a Category content block to your landing page, you can display all the Regions that have been created for that project. 

NB: These steps can also be followed to create a landing page for a tag category, such as Arts and Entertainment, Sport or Education.  

1. To add a Category content block to your landing page, go to the Edit tab of your Page.
2. Click +Add block. From the dropdown, select Regions. 
3. Give this section of your page a Title. Then, to choose the content you’d like to display, click All items or Custom selection.   
4. In the Advanced section, you can choose how you want these items to display on the page.
5. When you have finished, click Done and then Publish. 

If you want to add more elements to your landing page, such as Events or Projects, click +Add block, and select from the dropdown list of content blocks. 

NB: Adding a content block will only display content that has already been created and published for the project. When you create new Regions, they'll be automatically added to the Regions content block. If they are not displaying on your Landing Page, make sure you have selected them in the Custom Selection.
