Introduction
...
Each community site on FirstVoices.com is extensively customizable to reflect community identity and decisions. The homepage is a memorable landing page that you can use to highlight the main content you would like visitors to see. It is constructed using Widgets, which are customizable blocks of content that respond to user screen size and can be interactive.
As a Language Administrator, you can edit your site by logging in and using your Dashboard.

Design tip While Widgets have been designed to be mix-and-matched, certain Widgets may work better at the top of your homepage. Ask yourself: What will visitors to my language site want to see first? For example, if you want people to visit your language site every day to view the Word of the Day, consider putting the Word of the Day widget at the top of the page. |
