Step 3: Appearance and Layout Customizations
Utilize these core features to create a unique look and layout for your audience.
Social Media Links: Add links to your school’s Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram and LinkedIn accounts to display them in the website header and footer. You can easily change the order of these links by dragging and dropping them.
Contact Us:
Add up to three key contacts to display on your website, each with a convenient hyperlink for their email and phone. For each contact, you can include a name, title, email address and phone number. Easily reorder the display of these contacts by dragging and dropping them into your preferred sequence.
Sponsors:
You can upload up to 10 sponsor logos, each with a corresponding link, to be displayed on your website. Easily reorder the appearance of these logos by simply dragging and dropping them into your preferred sequence.
Navigation:
This section in the CMS allows you to control the main menu navigation on your website. In addition to the default Resources and Teams links, you can choose to display pre-configured options like Watch, Shop and Donate, each with a designated link. Furthermore, you can add up to three custom navigation items with links to any URL. Common examples include links to the main school website, student registration platforms or league websites.
Resources:
This default menu option creates a customizable mega menu for your website, serving as a central collection of links for your school community. Within the Resources page, you can organize links into columns (up to six), with a max of ten links per column. Each column and individual link requires a title. The display order of both columns and links can be easily managed using drag and drop functionality.

Step 4: Add Content
Begin adding news articles such as athlete highlights, game announcements or other special event updates to appear on your website.
News Articles:
News Articles allow you to quickly communicate information to your community. Each article requires a title, image and description. Optional features include:
Tagging a program to display the article on the specific team/program page
Automatic sharing to Facebook and X (Twitter) Featuring the article on the website’s homepage by checking the box next to Featured.
Adjusting how it shows up in search engines (Google, etc.) and editing the website link (URL slug)
A URL slug is the human-readable text at the end of a web address that identifies a specific page on a website, often a shortened, descriptive version of the page title separated by hyphens. For example, in https://ladythunder.com/news/roll-past-cougars, the slug is /roll-past-cougars.
Featured:
This section provides a centralized interface to manage the five articles highlighted on your website. Here, you can easily reorder, remove and add featured articles using drag and drop functionality and a searchable dropdown menu.
Galleries:
Galleries let you showcase photo and video collections on your website. Each needs a title and cover image and can be tagged to a program like news articles. Upload single or multiple files at once.
Custom Pages:
Engage CMS lets you create custom pages to build unique sections on your website. Each page can be added to your navigation, resources page, or linked within other content.
You can choose from five block types:
Hero Section: A large banner area at the top of the page.
Content Section: For general text, images, and lists.
Image Gallery: Display photos in 2–4 columns.
Call to Action: A clickable button or prompt to drive a specific action.
Embed Content: Add HTML or embed media from YouTube, X, Facebook, Instagram, Google Calendar, Hudl, or MaxPreps (others on request).
Pages can be linked from the resources page, the navigation menu, or within other content. For easy internal linking, you will see an option to select an internal page. Where this isn't yet available, you can directly link by entering yourdomain.com/slug in the link URL (e.g., http://morethanjusttickets.com/ <slug>).
Media:
This feature gives you a central place to upload and manage photos and videos for your events and pages. This helps create a consistent, professional look across your ticketing site and websites.
