Clickable Content Blocks
We've made navigating the "Page Setup" tab as streamlined as possible. You can easily add and customize key elements like the navbar, header, body section(s), cards, and footer by selecting the corresponding content blocks. This process lets you quickly build and preview your website section by section.
Navbar
The Navbar is always across the top of the screen on every page of your site. When a user is signed in to Church Connect, the Navbar will display a menu with additional options.
You can customize the Navbar background color, text color, and height, as well as add up to four links to be displayed at the top of every page of your site. You can also upload a PNG file of your church's logo to be displayed in the top left corner of your site. When no logo is present, your church or ministry name will be displayed.
Our Perfect Church Website Navbar Pro Tip video covers our recommendations for what to put in the Navbar of your site.
Header (or Hero)
The Header (or Hero) is the section between your Navbar and Cards. This is a great place to add your most important message for site visitors.
You can choose from a curated list of templates, or customize your own design, with custom fonts, font size, text color, background color, and text alignment.
You can customize the header background color and height, as well as upload a header background image. If you choose an image, your header background color will be displayed while your image is loading. We recommend picking a color that is similar to your background image. Additionally, you can choose an overlay color and overlay capacity.
Body Section(s)
Use the Body Section(s) to display additional content below your Header and/or above your Footer.
You can choose from a curated list of templates, or customize your own design, with custom fonts, font size, text color, background color, and text alignment.
Cards
The Cards on your Home Page are the primary way your site visitors will interact with your content. You can add and configure cards on the Cards screen and further modify them here.
You can customize the border radius of your Cards and Buttons to control how square or rounded they appear. Additionally, you can adjust the gutter size to determine the spacing between your Cards and set a minimum width in pixels for each Card.
Footer
The Footer appears at the bottom of every page on your site. You can edit the background color and add your basic contact information, social media, and important links.
We recommend linking to the most important pages on your site in the Footer Links to ensure that they are easily accessible.
