Activate public choir website

What is this?

With the public website you get a full choir website without having to program one yourself. The website pulls all content automatically from your Chorilo choir: logo, description, concert dates, board, contact data. You do not have to maintain anything twice.

What the website typically shows:

• Home page with choir logo and short description
• About us — history, values, choir type
• Concerts — upcoming public events, automatically updated
• Board & choir director — with roles
• Rehearsal times and rehearsal location
• Contact with form and address
• Join — directly to the invitation link
• Optional: photo gallery, audio samples, news

How to activate the website

1. Open your choir and go to Administration > Public website.
2. Click "Activate website".
3. Choose a subdomain — e.g. my-choir.chorilo.app. The subdomain has to be unique.
4. Set which areas should be visible: concerts, board, join link.
5. Click "Activate". The website is immediately live.
6. Share the link with your community, on social media and in newsletters.

What is automatically taken over

From Chorilo the website automatically pulls:

• Logo, name, description from the choir base data
• Concert dates marked as "public"
• Board and choir director from member data with choir roles
• Rehearsal location and times from regular rehearsal events
• Contact data from the base data

So you do not maintain anything twice — when something changes in Chorilo, the website is automatically up to date.

What you can additionally customize

• Hero image for the home page
• Custom texts (e.g. "About us")
• Color theme and typography
• Photo gallery with concert photos
• News area with posts
• Audio samples (embedded)
• Social media links
• GDPR texts (imprint, privacy)

The detailed editing runs via Administration > Public website > Edit.

Permission

You need the permission ensemble.edit to activate the website. By default the owner and choir director have this access.

Tips

• Activate the website early — even when not everything is perfect. A simple, current website is better than none.
• Maintain concert dates carefully with "public" mark — they are often the most important magnet for website visitors.
• Enter an appealing "About us" text — new interested people often decide here whether they come to an open rehearsal.
• Link the website everywhere: in the mail signature, on concert posters, in the association, on social media.
• If you have or want to buy your own domain (e.g. www.my-choir.com), look at the custom domain feature.
