For many organizations, having both an interactive homepage and a dedicated, well-maintained homepage gives the best of both worlds. Your main interactive homepage can feature the timeline and personalized content, while a second, editorially curated homepage offers a clear space for official information.

Objectives of your editorial homepage

Before you begin designing, clarify the specific goals and use cases for this type of homepage:

  • Provide users with high-quality, verified information to help them find what they need easily.
  • Serve as a central place for important announcements and helpful content that may not be suitable for the timeline.
  • Make it easy to access helpful tools and resources quickly, both internal and from trusted third parties.

Setting up your homepage in Haiilo

When configuring your editorially maintained homepage in Haiilo, we recommend using the following elements and widgets to create a compelling editorial experience:

  • Latest Blog Articles Widgets: Dedicated sections showcase recent blog posts and important selected blog articles, ensuring that important updates are easily discoverable.
  • Teaser Widget: Strategically placed teasers can highlight critical policies or important guidelines, drawing attention while acting as links to important resources.
  • Divider Widgets: Used throughout, these create clear visual breaks, making the content easy to scan and digest. They can also introduce new sections, for example, "Company News" or "Strategic Initiatives."
  • Launchpad Links Widget: Positioned conveniently, this widget offers a quick gateway to frequently used applications and resources, enhancing user efficiency.
