Your first 30 minutes

Your dashboard shows a setup checklist that tracks these steps as you complete them - it fills in automatically, so just work through the tiles. Here's the order we'd suggest and why.

1. Fill in your club settings

Head to Club Settings and work through the sections: club name, description, logo, founded year, contact details, a couple of club rules and your social links. A progress helper on the page shows what's left. This matters first because widgets, your public site and even search results pull from these details.

2. Set your design

Open Design and pick a theme preset - colours, fonts and corner style for your whole club site in one click. You can fine-tune individual colours later; the preset gets you looking right immediately. See Design your site.

3. Make your home page yours

Your home page already exists with starter sections. Open Pages, then open it in the page builder and replace the placeholder text and images with your club's own. See Page builder basics.

4. Add your first event

Create an event in Events - even a rough date for your next meet. It gives your site a pulse and something for members to find. See Create an event.

5. Connect Facebook (optional)

If your club runs a Facebook page, connect it in Connections so followers, posts and events sync automatically. See Connect your Facebook page.

Once the checklist hits 100% it collapses out of the way. From here, explore at your own pace - the admin site tour shows where everything lives.
