Mobile Home Page & Calendar Pages

We are continuing our series of posts on various page types in the Mobile Management Area. This week is all about events and promotions. Events and Promotions are displayed on the Home Page as well as on the Calendar page type. As always, categories are key. Categories control where events and promotions are displayed.

Mobile Website Home Page

There are two sections of the mobile website home page. The second section is a custom content area. This area allows you to add text, images, embed videos and more. The custom content area allows you to make your home page what you want it and give it the look and the content you want.

The first feature on the home page is the "Event/Promotion Slider". This feature has a drop down to select categories from. Upcoming events and promotions from the selected categories will be shown on an interactive slider at the top of your mobile website home page.

One thing to keep in mind is that you can set mobile site visitors to be taken to your website menu or to this home page when they first land on your site. The setting for this is found in the Site Settings tab.

Calendar Pages

Calendar pages come in two styles: List Calendar and Slider. The Slider version functions just like the slider on the home page. Events and promotions from your selected categories will be show on a slider.

The List Calendar looks very much like the List Widget. Events and Promotions are listed with their date. You can select which categories you want to show your happenings from.

Events and Promotions

With the Home Page and with the Calendar pages, each event/promotion can be selected by the site visitor to see details. Every event and promotion has a mobile optimized version that is displayed on your mobile website. The mobile Events/Promotions still offer locations/directions, content and more.
