Notes on managing the promo
I have used content from the HSUK website and not edited any of it other than making links into your local site for About Us and Volunteering. That means you get the benefit of showing the promotion.
The videos are running in YouTube and are not locally on your website. That means if someone decides to move them, they will stop working. If that happens let me know please.
I have done three things:
1). Added an additional slider to your home page featuring the graphic for Give a Little Love, this slider is linked to a post. The slider can be edited if you wish to change the messaging. Look for Smart Slider in the sidebar of your site and locate the slider and edit it. It will be the first one in the set you currently use on your home page.
2). Added an introduction which I think came from a Press release on the 13th of November. It is all generic and talks about the promotion.
3). Added a detailed post which should also be at the top of your news page and the bottom left of your home page which includes the detail and the videos, and how to participate. Participation links back through to the HSUK promotion. I have not changed these, nor should you.
You can edit anything I have added to localise it more for you. But you should keep the core part of the messaging to be consistent with the scheme. You may also add in other supporting news related to this promotion.
While it looks like a lot of work, I am using the Divi system to it’s full advantage. The work was initially carried out at Home-Start Runnymede, refined there, and then saved to a library. I can then visit your site and load the library and quickly produce the two posts and link them into your site. It takes me less than 10 minutes per site to do this. For this reason, I cannot spend a lot of time localising it further for you, and still do this for free. Hopefully the generic version, partially localised to your site will meet your needs.
Best wishes,
Mark.
