At a minimum you need to full in the 'Short Meeting times text' and the 'Website Introduction Text' are required. We recommend filling in as much information as you can, the more information your webiste visitors have the better. You can provide links to your social media. A link to a map and various other features.
Remember that this is the shop window for your club, so hone your content to be welcoming as possibly.
Do add a club background image when you have one (see below).

Adding additional images to your page
You can add additional images in the text of your webpage by doing two things.
Firstly add the image in the 'Click here' to manage website images' section of the website configuration.
Secondly with the name of the image 'OurClub.png' add the following text to the text in the website (remember the text supports 'markdown' to add lists, bold etc, this is another feature of markdown).
Replace 'Alt text' with a description (for those with screen readers or with images turned off). Replace the 'YOURIMAGE.png' part with the name of the image you uploaded ('OurClub.png' for example)
