Administering: Your site admin rights grant you the ability to change everything on your site, from the look, the pages, the widgets that appear on the pages, and more. Everything administrative in nature is done by either clicking on the Control Panel link, or by clicking on the Edit buttons found under the widgets.  For example, click the Edit button under this widget after you're done reading it to edit this block of content so it says what you want it to for people visiting your site.



Styling: We have a vast array of themes for you to choose from, but GuildPortal goes far beyond that, by providing you the ability to generate attractive graphics for your banner, widgets, and other elements of your site.  In addition, if you're one of those power users who is comfortable in the world of HTML and CSS (or you have a designer in the guild who is), then you'll find our advanced tools for custom HTML and CSS provide you all the power you need to get the exact look you want.


Layout: Nothing is set in stone here. You can have whatever pages you want, call them what you want, and add whatever widgets you want to them. Widgets are specific to the page they're on, so if you want a shout box on one page, but not on another, it's no problem at all.


Getting Members Here: Easy. Give them the URL to your site and let them know to apply. By default, the application process is single-click and painless (you can add application questions later on, if you like). If you have e-mail addresses of your guild members, however, head to your Control Panel and click Member Management (over on the left), and then click E-Mail Invites.

Thank you for choosing GuildPortal as your guild's website host! For more information, check our Frequently Asked Questions, Videos and the Admin Community, where other guild leaders using GuildPortal hang out.  If you need help, we're only a support ticket away!
