Registration: Add a Custom Welcome Page

 

The optional welcome page is first screen the user sees when they access your registration. You provide the content on this screen and it can contain any information that you want to convey to your users before they begin the registration process. The welcome screen is ideal for example, for providing additional information such as your organization's policies, information about season start dates, and pricing policies. 

To enable your custom welcome screen:

• Beneath the registration that you want to edit, click the Customize the Welcome Screen link. The Welcome Screen will be displayed.
• Select the check box, "Show the following welcome content before users begin registration", to cause the welcome screen to be displayed during registration.

How to add welcome page content

The page builder on this screen allows you to add text, images, links, and attachments to your welcome screen. You have the option to keep it simple with some instructional text or you can fully stylize the page.

Use the click and drag toolbar on the left side to add text and other elements to your page. Once you've completed your page, use the translation tool to generate a version for Spanish speakers in your community.

To create a translated version of your page:

• Click the Translations link in the upper right
• Click the Add a Translation button
• Select Spanish from the list of languages. A Spanish version of your page will appear.
• At this point, you can edit the translated page if necessary.
• To switch between English and Spanish, click the Translations button and select the language version you want to view.
• You can create multiple translations of your welcome screen. The Doodlio registration pages support English and Spanish, but your welcome page and custom forms can support multiple languages.
• Be sure to click Save Changes.
