The Member Wizard Website template
What is the Member Wizard website template?
Member Wizard can provide your organisation with a fully configurable website which already incorporates all the links for classes and membership buttons integrating to your Member Wizard database.
The website comes as a standard template which can be altered to suit your requirements and which can be configured to be unique to your organisation.
The sample template is shown at the bottom of this article.
Note: Member Wizard's web template is not Word Press or based on any existing system. It is designed specifically to be simple and easy to learn and use by members not necessarily familiar with HTML or CSS. As such it does not have elements that are by their nature complex such as picture carousels. We believe however that your creativity can more than compensate for that and you can quickly and easily develop a good looking and functional website none the less.
What if we want to use our own website design template?
That's fine. You can add, delete or move pages, areas on pages, images, downloads and text to make the template look exactly the way your organisation prefers.
The best thing is that anyone with knowledge of Word can do it. You no longer have to find someone prepared to volunteer web programming skills in order to have an easily managed, flexible and good looking website.
The Website Demo button on the Member Wizard home page explains how to work with the three main elements - pages, sections and panels.
What do we need to do to get our website up and running?
Simply click on the button in Member Wizard in the Website menu. We will then send you a temporary URL which will contain your template. You then need to make sure that the Role attached to your User name (Settings/User Management) has had the Web Site access set to Full Access. You can then go to your template and click on the Settings menu item and login using your Member Wizard user name and password.
When you have the page looking the way you wish you should contact us and we will commence making the website visible under your organisations preferred URL. There are a few ways to achieve this depending on your current domain name situation:
1. If you do not use your domain name for emails (eg you use gmail or some other mail service) and you do not have a .org.au web domain then we can simply transfer the entire domain to our domain manager Amazon. This is the easiest solution.
2. If you use your domain to also send emails eg you have an email address of say presidentU3Ax@u3ax.org.au then we can not move the domain as our service does not include email. In this case we will need to talk to your current website manager and we will arrange for them to make some A Record entries in the DNS. If they are not able to do this we will require the login to your domain provider. Alternatively we can get your website manager to forward the domain you use for emails to a new domain we obtain for you such as U3ASample.au. You can then continue to use your previous domain for emails and your members browser bookmarks will simply redirect automatically to the new domain.
3. If you have a .org.au domain eg U3ASample.org.au then we can no transfer the domain as our provider does not handle .org.au domains your situation is as per 2 above. We can redirect your current domain to a new URL such as U3ASample.au so your member's bookmarks still continue to operate as usual.
How much does the Member Wizard website cost?
There is a one off setup cost of $450 plus GST which includes your first year hosting and domain name registration (if required). Thereafter the cost is only $150 pa plus GST.
