WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.760 --> 00:00:02.399 Hi there. 2 00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:08.608 In this video, we're gonna go over how to configure your main websites and the options you have inside Simplero. 3 00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:14.099 So first of all, to access your main website, you'll just go to marketing and click 4 00:00:14.955 --> 00:00:20.815 on main website. The main website is different from sites which are under your content. 5 00:00:21.835 --> 00:00:23.855 Usually the main website is, 6 00:00:24.395 --> 00:00:28.335 used as your shop as the ways to showcase your product. 7 00:00:29.900 --> 00:00:31.600 And the sides are more 8 00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:33.040 for your, 9 00:00:33.900 --> 00:00:40.240 for your customers to buy, for your customers to have as their content, post your courses, have their, 10 00:00:41.855 --> 00:00:43.715 their blogs or their forums. 11 00:00:44.255 --> 00:00:49.555 So there's another whole video on what the difference is, but we here will focus on the main website. 12 00:00:49.934 --> 00:00:54.195 So if you just open your Simplero account, the first thing you're gonna see is this warning. 13 00:00:55.780 --> 00:01:03.320 So if you have not launched your site yet, Simpler is gonna show a splash screen that you can see when clicking here. 14 00:01:04.740 --> 00:01:11.485 When you're ready to launch the site, then you have to click on launch site now, but don't do that before you are ready. 15 00:01:12.345 --> 00:01:13.785 Then in here, you'll see, 16 00:01:14.105 --> 00:01:17.245 different tabs. So first thing you're gonna see is your activity. 17 00:01:17.785 --> 00:01:18.585 At the minute, 18 00:01:18.905 --> 00:01:27.000 this main website has just been created, so you don't have any recent visitors or latest posts or uncommons, but otherwise you'd see those. 19 00:01:27.940 --> 00:01:34.440 Secondly, you'll see the list of members of that site. So anyone that has been given access to, 20 00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:36.600 core closed course, 21 00:01:37.805 --> 00:01:40.625 inside your main website would show in here. 22 00:01:41.325 --> 00:01:46.865 You can also choose to see members without access or all of them. Like there's three tabs here. 23 00:01:48.125 --> 00:01:52.670 Then next thing you're gonna see is a list of all your pages. 24 00:01:52.670 --> 00:01:55.250 So currently, again, I don't have any, but, 25 00:01:56.670 --> 00:01:59.730 you'll see it in different tabs. So publish, draft, 26 00:02:00.190 --> 00:02:01.170 drip, schedule, 27 00:02:01.470 --> 00:02:02.770 all, or SEO. 28 00:02:04.755 --> 00:02:07.494 One an interesting one would be the 29 00:02:07.955 --> 00:02:08.455 SEO. 30 00:02:09.395 --> 00:02:14.855 So let me just quickly create a page to show you. Right. So I have now created, just a blank page 31 00:02:15.155 --> 00:02:18.470 in here just to show you as an example. So SEO, 32 00:02:19.170 --> 00:02:22.150 is what you wanna look at in terms of, 33 00:02:22.930 --> 00:02:27.269 driving traffic to your website and how your side pages show 34 00:02:27.730 --> 00:02:31.110 in Google, Meta, and when you share them around 35 00:02:31.935 --> 00:02:34.915 others other, places that are not seen there. 36 00:02:35.055 --> 00:02:39.875 If you go to the SEO tab, you will be able to see the Slack and edit it here. 37 00:02:40.735 --> 00:02:44.115 You can choose if it's visible or hidden from robots. 38 00:02:44.550 --> 00:02:50.410 And then you can, decide your meta title, description, and your social image. You can all, 39 00:02:51.030 --> 00:02:52.250 do it from here. 40 00:02:53.110 --> 00:02:58.489 And if you had a list of pages, there's a there's an easy way to edit them all from here. 41 00:02:59.864 --> 00:03:03.965 The next thing you'll have is the block will record a specific video, 42 00:03:04.905 --> 00:03:08.125 about the block. So I won't go into much detail now. 43 00:03:09.385 --> 00:03:13.210 And then same for courses. So here you would see a list of your courses. 44 00:03:13.270 --> 00:03:17.610 We will create another video regarding courses, but this here is where you're located. 45 00:03:18.630 --> 00:03:23.050 And here in comments, you would see a list of any comments that have been 46 00:03:24.105 --> 00:03:26.445 added to your blog or to 47 00:03:26.905 --> 00:03:27.645 your forum. 48 00:03:28.505 --> 00:03:29.645 Then after that 49 00:03:29.945 --> 00:03:31.085 you'll see the configure 50 00:03:31.385 --> 00:03:35.405 tab. So we'll go over this page and the options that you can find here. 51 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:40.860 Here you can change your site title, which is the one that shows over in the browser, 52 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:42.780 and the title bar. 53 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:47.020 You can choose what your home page is, what you want it to be. 54 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:52.275 And then here on the right side, you can you'll have the options if you want to add an internal name. 55 00:03:52.275 --> 00:03:54.295 So only one one that only administrator 56 00:03:54.755 --> 00:03:58.295 see and to add some labels to locate it inside Simplero. 57 00:03:59.955 --> 00:04:03.735 Then here you are able to choose the side URL. 58 00:04:04.515 --> 00:04:05.495 And in here, 59 00:04:05.850 --> 00:04:08.110 what you can do is hide 60 00:04:08.810 --> 00:04:14.170 the side from your users, which is what you're currently doing, and choose which splash screen you're showing. 61 00:04:14.170 --> 00:04:19.310 So currently, what choice showing the this one, but you're able to create new landing pages, 62 00:04:20.425 --> 00:04:21.805 and show them here. 63 00:04:22.425 --> 00:04:24.525 If you wanna change your main, 64 00:04:24.985 --> 00:04:27.725 website URL for a custom one, 65 00:04:28.505 --> 00:04:34.125 we have a whole video on this, but this will have to be done from your settings, change your URL. 66 00:04:34.610 --> 00:04:36.950 And if you look for a video Calvin something like, 67 00:04:37.330 --> 00:04:41.270 custom customize your URL or use your custom URL, you'll find 68 00:04:41.570 --> 00:04:44.950 the steps on how to use your custom URL for your main website. 69 00:04:46.130 --> 00:04:47.030 After that, 70 00:04:47.410 --> 00:04:50.070 you'll see some graphics. So you'll see 71 00:04:50.695 --> 00:04:54.875 the cart image which is the one that shows when you have an overview of sites. 72 00:04:55.175 --> 00:04:59.355 The fav icon which is like the little image that shows sometimes here up, 73 00:04:59.895 --> 00:05:01.675 in the browser next to the URL. 74 00:05:02.295 --> 00:05:04.715 And then you can choose your logos for 75 00:05:05.229 --> 00:05:10.110 light and dark mode. And I'll show you what I mean in our community side. 76 00:05:10.110 --> 00:05:12.689 So if I look at our community side, 77 00:05:14.509 --> 00:05:17.715 just as an example. So here you can see this is the logo. 78 00:05:18.915 --> 00:05:20.775 And this is the one that you can customize. 79 00:05:21.155 --> 00:05:22.835 And then your customers can choose. 80 00:05:22.835 --> 00:05:27.074 So here in the right corner, they can choose between light and dark mode when they browse. 81 00:05:27.074 --> 00:05:30.030 That's something that your customers can do from their side. 82 00:05:30.430 --> 00:05:32.670 And then you can choose to have different logos. 83 00:05:32.670 --> 00:05:38.530 So depending on the colors of your logos, you might wanna change and have different one for light and for dark. 84 00:05:39.550 --> 00:05:41.570 Now back to the main website, 85 00:05:44.415 --> 00:05:48.215 you can you have many community features here such as, like, 86 00:05:48.655 --> 00:05:49.095 in, 87 00:05:49.535 --> 00:05:50.275 artificial intelligence, 88 00:05:50.735 --> 00:05:51.235 enhanced 89 00:05:51.854 --> 00:05:52.354 search. 90 00:05:54.255 --> 00:05:54.995 You can 91 00:05:55.610 --> 00:06:00.510 allow or not allow many different things. For example, reactions on the comments. 92 00:06:00.970 --> 00:06:02.590 You can allow the members 93 00:06:02.970 --> 00:06:07.230 to chat between them. If you don't want that, you just wanna turn this option off. 94 00:06:08.125 --> 00:06:13.105 Something to note is that as an administrator, you will always be able to chat to your members. 95 00:06:13.405 --> 00:06:16.865 So you always see the chat icon, this one up here 96 00:06:17.325 --> 00:06:18.545 on the right corner. 97 00:06:18.925 --> 00:06:25.599 But if you disable, your members will not see it. So they will not be able to interact between them. 98 00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:28.560 Then you can also choose to auto collapse, 99 00:06:29.020 --> 00:06:30.080 long common threads, 100 00:06:30.780 --> 00:06:32.460 show engagement budgets. 101 00:06:32.460 --> 00:06:36.764 So this is something that you can also choose and it's a good thing if you wanna gamify 102 00:06:37.625 --> 00:06:38.444 your community. 103 00:06:40.185 --> 00:06:41.884 And you can also here 104 00:06:42.185 --> 00:06:43.324 choose your engagement 105 00:06:43.625 --> 00:06:46.604 points type. This is what we would will choose 106 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.840 what we'll use if you have a leadership board. 107 00:06:49.840 --> 00:06:53.140 So if I go back to the Simplero community just to show you, 108 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.060 here on the left side, you can see that we have the feature, 109 00:06:57.760 --> 00:06:58.740 called leaderboards. 110 00:07:00.585 --> 00:07:04.205 And every member has different number of points. 111 00:07:04.825 --> 00:07:07.965 These points are whatever you choose 112 00:07:08.265 --> 00:07:11.085 here on the engagement points points type. 113 00:07:11.865 --> 00:07:15.245 And then Simplero will automatically grant one point for 114 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.220 each like and each post and comment and stuff like that. 115 00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:23.460 Then you can also choose to allow or not allow comments without login, 116 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.380 and you can choose to have a moderation email. So if your customers 117 00:07:28.865 --> 00:07:30.325 when your customers comment, 118 00:07:30.785 --> 00:07:33.665 you can choose to approve each one of the comments. 119 00:07:33.665 --> 00:07:41.550 So if that's the case, if you turn it on, you will then get an email for each time they comment, and you'll either approve or decline the comment. 120 00:07:42.270 --> 00:07:44.430 And then you can choose the notification settings. 121 00:07:44.430 --> 00:07:48.210 Something important is that this is only the default one. 122 00:07:48.590 --> 00:07:52.930 So this is what new members will see when they get added to your website. 123 00:07:54.595 --> 00:08:01.014 So you can choose for the the the full notification to be on everything, post and comments, just post, just comments, or none. 124 00:08:01.235 --> 00:08:04.055 But then after that, each member will be 125 00:08:04.514 --> 00:08:08.615 able to personalize it, to their liking. So there's only one default. 126 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.000 And then you can choose to have a sign up form to in each one of your pages. 127 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:14.540 So if you add a form here, 128 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:19.820 in any of the pages when your customers log in, they will see that sign up form. 129 00:08:21.645 --> 00:08:24.845 Then here you can add your social profiles that, 130 00:08:25.325 --> 00:08:26.705 will show on your website. 131 00:08:27.325 --> 00:08:29.905 And then you can show you can choose the metadata 132 00:08:30.365 --> 00:08:35.585 for your whole site. So the one I showed before what was specific for each page, 133 00:08:35.929 --> 00:08:37.630 these ones are for the whole site. 134 00:08:38.169 --> 00:08:40.329 Then you can add triggers if you wish to. 135 00:08:40.329 --> 00:08:43.630 Again, we have a separate video on triggers if you wanna use them. 136 00:08:43.929 --> 00:08:45.630 And there are some advanced settings. 137 00:08:46.730 --> 00:08:50.509 This is if you wanna use the legacy site experience. So this is a deprecated, 138 00:08:51.584 --> 00:08:56.084 the old way that Simplero sites look. We don't recommend you to use that option, 139 00:08:57.185 --> 00:08:59.125 because now the the current 140 00:08:59.505 --> 00:09:01.204 experience is much more modern. 141 00:09:01.745 --> 00:09:03.505 You can include support tickets. 142 00:09:03.505 --> 00:09:07.579 You can include an NPS survey, which is good if you wanna get your your customer's opinion 143 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.079 you can customize your four zero four not found page. 144 00:09:11.319 --> 00:09:16.620 So currently we'll have a default one from Simplero, but you can create your own one if you want a funny one 145 00:09:17.560 --> 00:09:18.540 you can remove 146 00:09:18.935 --> 00:09:23.834 the download links so that your customers cannot download your videos, audios and PDFs. 147 00:09:25.495 --> 00:09:30.695 You can also do that at the course level and for each one of your assets. 148 00:09:30.695 --> 00:09:33.195 So if you don't wanna do this for all courses, 149 00:09:33.699 --> 00:09:38.100 you can leave it off. And then inside each course, you also see this option. 150 00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:40.120 So you can see do it per course. 151 00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:43.560 Then you can choose to hide the new member's profile 152 00:09:44.420 --> 00:09:45.720 from the member directory 153 00:09:46.259 --> 00:09:49.160 by default. So if you do use the a member directory, 154 00:09:50.475 --> 00:09:56.015 you can choose that every time you add a new member, they are hidden by default, and then they can choose on their own settings 155 00:09:56.475 --> 00:09:58.495 if they wanna activate it or not. 156 00:09:59.915 --> 00:10:04.815 And you can also also disallow posting replies to email notifications as comments. 157 00:10:05.459 --> 00:10:10.040 Then something that if you're more advanced, you might wanna use, is custom tracking code. 158 00:10:10.260 --> 00:10:16.519 Like, for example, if you wanna add, like, Google tracking or anything like that, and Facebook app app ID and page. 159 00:10:16.660 --> 00:10:21.195 Once you've chosen, like, all your customizations, you'll just go save changes, 160 00:10:22.454 --> 00:10:23.915 and this will be it. 161 00:10:24.855 --> 00:10:26.235 Other tabs that you, 162 00:10:26.615 --> 00:10:32.555 will find here are the style guide where you can choose your default colors and fonts and buttons. 163 00:10:33.149 --> 00:10:37.889 We'll have a whole video on each one of the settings. So these videos don't get too long. 164 00:10:39.709 --> 00:10:40.529 And then 165 00:10:40.910 --> 00:10:46.209 you if you click the three dots, you have three things more. One of them are the engagement budgets. 166 00:10:46.975 --> 00:10:49.475 Those are budgets that you can give to your customers, 167 00:10:50.575 --> 00:10:55.555 and you can choose how they are awarded. So you can add new ones, edit these ones. 168 00:10:56.335 --> 00:10:58.095 And this is very fun if you want, 169 00:10:58.975 --> 00:11:00.915 to engage your customers in your community. 170 00:11:01.660 --> 00:11:08.160 And then if you click here, you can also find, redirects, which you can add if you wanna redirect specific 171 00:11:08.620 --> 00:11:09.760 pages to, 172 00:11:10.700 --> 00:11:16.720 to other pages. Something important to note is that the page that you redirect needs to be, 173 00:11:17.555 --> 00:11:20.375 off.
