Only an owner or admin can publish. If you signed up recently, confirm your email first: the page can go live after that.
Put it live
Open Web
Choose Web in the sidebar. If it is not there, turn it on in your apps.
Check it with Preview
Your page starts as a draft, and only owners and admins can preview it. The address it will use is shown beside Copy.
Switch from Draft to Live
Ember asks Put your site live? If the page is still thin, it says so. That is a suggestion only; you can go live anyway and fill it in as you go.
Press Go live
You see "Your site is live." Anyone with the link can now see it, including your public volunteer sign-up.
What fills in on its own
| Section | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Name and the line under it | Your organization's name from Settings. The line under it is your tagline, which starts as your mission. |
| Impact and programs | Programs with a count marked to show on your website, a goal shown on your website, or open volunteer shifts. |
| A quote | The newest story cleared as public and added to your website in Stories, with its first photo. |
Keep those apps up to date and the page stays current without editing it.
What you can set
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Logo and cover photo | Upload images, 5 MB or smaller. The cover runs across the top of the page. |
| Theme | Warm, Bold or Classic. |
| Brand color | Pick one of six colors. |
| Tagline | One line under your name: what you do, in plain words. |
| Contact email | Adds a Get in touch form. Messages are emailed to this address, which is never shown on the page. |
| Donate link | A link to your own donation page. It must start with https:// or http://. Ember never handles money. |
| Social links | Instagram, Facebook, X / Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube, shown as icons. |
Changes save as you make them. There is no Save button.
Once it is live
- People can follow along. Visitors can sign up for updates. They appear on the Subscribers tab, where Download CSV exports the list.
- Messages from the Get in touch form are emailed to your contact address and also listed on the Subscribers tab.
- Visits shows visits in the last 7 days, and where visitors came from over the last 30. It never records who visited, and uses no cookies.
- Search engines list your page once you confirm your website is yours. See your web address and verification.
Take it offline
Switch back to Draft and press Take it offline. Visitors find nothing at your link until you publish again, and your public volunteer sign-up goes offline with it. Your settings are kept.
