Edit content of the public website

What is this?

With the website editor you maintain all content of your public choir website — texts, images, custom pages, design, news posts. While the standard data (logo, concerts, board) is automatically taken from your choir, here you design everything beyond the standard pages.

What you can edit:

• Hero area of the home page — image, title, subtitle, CTA
• "About us" texts — history, values, identity
• Custom pages (e.g. donations, press)
• News posts for concerts or special events
• Photo galleries for past concerts
• Audio samples embedded (e.g. SoundCloud, Spotify)
• Colors and typography matched to your logo
• Footer content (imprint, privacy, social links)

How to edit content

1. Open your choir and go to Administration > Public website > Edit.
2. Choose a page from the page overview (home, about us, concerts etc.).
3. Click a block to edit it — text, image, gallery, video.
4. Add new blocks via the plus icon.
5. Sort blocks via drag and drop.
6. Save the page. Changes are immediately live.

What you can do on every page

• Text blocks with headings (H1-H6), lists, links
• Image blocks with caption and alt text
• Photo galleries as grid or slider
• Video blocks (embedded via YouTube/Vimeo link)
• Audio player (own MP3 or stream link)
• Event blocks (e.g. only the next 3 concerts)
• Board blocks (alphabetical or sorted by role)
• Contact forms
• Donation buttons

SEO optimization

Per page you can maintain SEO data:

• Page title (browser tab and Google result)
• Meta description (snippet in search result)
• Open Graph image (preview for social media links)
• URL slug (meaningful URL ending)

A sitemap is automatically generated and delivered to search engines.

Permission

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

Tips

• Keep texts short and clear — website visitors skim, they do not read. Short paragraphs, meaningful headings.
• Invest in good images — one high-quality hero photo has more impact than three mediocre ones.
• Update news regularly — an outdated website (last news from 2022) signals inactivity.
• Maintain required information carefully: imprint and privacy are legally required in Germany.
• Test on smartphone — most visitors come mobile. Long texts and small buttons often work poorly on the phone.
