Microsite: Widgets Made Easy
If customizing Widgets sounds like too much work, we have a simple plug-and-play alternative. A Microsite provides the same functionality as some of our Widgets, without the complex configuration!
- Online Directory
- My Giving
- My Contribution Statement
- My Profile
- My Household
- My Pledges
- User Defined Labels
The best part is, the Microsites are already waiting for you! They exist right now, and you can start using them as soon as you'd like. All you have to do is add a link to each congregation or parish website that wants to use it.
How It Works
We've set up a Microsite for every congregation and parish to use. The list of Microsites (where you can obtain the links) is tied to your instance of the Platform. To view the list, you'll enter the same base URL as your Platform instance, then add "/my" to the end of it.
Example: In the following example, the Platform instance is "demo.ministryplatform.net/mp". So you would replace "/mp" with "/my" (like this, "demo.ministryplatform.net/my") to get the Microsite list for the Demo database.
Try this with your Platform instance to see your list of Microsites now!
Once you get to your list, you'll copy the URL link for a Microsite and add it to the relevant congregation or parish website. This could be in the form of a button, link, or whatever allows people to jump to the Microsite. After logging in, authenticated users can view and manage their information.
Link to Microsites
Ready to get started? Follow these steps to add a Microsite to a website.
Once the link to the Microsite exists on the website, congregants/parishioners can easily navigate to it, log in, and view and manage their information. The home page welcomes them and lets them know what they can do.
- Online Directory: Authenticated users can search for fellow congregants or parishioners.
- My Giving: Authenticated users can see details of their past financial gifts.
- My Contribution Statements: Authenticated users can download a PDF of their contribution statements and opt for paperless delivery.
- My Profile (part of the User Account Dialog in the Platform): Authenticated users can view the information on file and update it if needed.
- My Household: Authenticated users can view and update Household details.
- My Pledges: Authenticated users can view and manage their Campaign pledges.
- User Defined Labels: Provides more control over labels and translations on your site or microsite.
