After creating a homepage, you can design its layout and structure using rows and columns, widgets, and a hero teaser to best serve your organization's use case. To edit a homepage, you need to either be its editor or have "Access moderator mode" permission.
Haiilo provides multiple layout options for customizing your homepage.
- Rows: A row is an element that covers the width of the homepage. There are 9 row options to choose from. The row you select determines the number of columns and layout of your homepage.
- Columns: Every row has columns. Each row option has between 1 and 4 columns. The column width determines the size of widgets on your homepage.
- Widgets: Into each column, you place widgets that contain content that users will see and interact with.
Design a homepage
- Go to the homepage. An active homepage is visible in the homepage tabs.
- If a homepage isn't yet activated or is only activated for the mobile app, you can access the homepage using the homepage's direct URL to be able to design it. A homepage URL is shown in Administration > Homepages.
- Select Enable Edit view from your user profile drop-down
- An empty homepage includes a default row, which covers the whole width of the homepage. Add a row by selecting the plus sign and remove a row by selecting the minus sign. When removing a row, all widgets inside the row are deleted.
