Overview
Webmasters and admins may need to create a new School or District website or rebuild the site homepage from scratch.
Solution
Before proceeding with the creation of the site, the below points are required to be met:
- Your District has requested a new School Portal and it was created - this is required when creating a completely new school site with School Loop.
- You need to have Webmaster rights to set up a School site.
- You need to have Senior District Webmaster rights to edit a District site.
- Your site is already converted to SLS2 (if it was using SLS1 design earlier).
Note: All newly created sites are using SLS2 design by default.
After the above items are verified, the below steps can be followed for the creation of the site:
- Log into your School Loop account.
- For District portals, open Admin Center.
- For School portals, open Site Center.
- For District portals, open Admin Center.
- Select the desired homepage template.
- Configure the color palette for your site.
- Add content to your homepage. You can:
- Add new modules.
- Modify existing modules.
Note: Some modules on the homepage are locked and can be edited or removed only by a Senior District Webmaster.
- Create pages and minisites that will be linked in the Navigation Header at the top of your homepage.
- Add content to the newly created pages.
- Once the homepage content and all linked pages are ready, publish the site.
Note: If you want our Professional Services to set up a new or redesign an existing site for you, submit a ticket describing the desired design of your site and special effects you want to add, and our Professional Services team will get in touch with you.
