This week has been a big one for our developers as they continue to roll out some highly anticipated features. Today, we bring you three incredible updates that will make your pages and membership sites even better.
Update #1: Membership Site Templates
When saving changes to your membership site, you may notice something new popping up…
Membership templates are here! There are five templates available with many color schemes for each.
First, deselect the default template, and then you can explore the others.
Each has its own unique aspects, such as the sidebar being on the left or right, or the categories being on the top or as an additional sidebar. Once you’ve selected the template you like, find the color scheme that suits your needs (it will appear underneath your selected template).
Now you can scroll back to the top to Preview your membership site. Click “Preview” (see below), and you are shown a full version of your membership site to explore the new design.
Update #2: Drop An Anchor Link
This is exciting. Kartra now lets you assign anchor links to your top navigation and buttons in the page builder. The anchor links will then scroll to another section in a page – with a simple click. No coding required!
Here’s how it works:
In this example, we’re styling a page in the page builder that offers a free brand assessment with a request form in a section at the bottom of the page, below the fold.
First, we’ll enable a link in the top navigation to scroll the page down to the “free assessment” section.
Simply click on the pencil icon for this link, click on “link” in the slide-out menu, and then select “Scroll to a particular section in this page.
Then, select which section you’d like to scroll to. In this example, that’s section four.
Click apply, and the link is created! Now, let’s do the same for a button. The process is identical.
After publishing the page, let’s see how the live page looks.
And there you go – clicking on either the top navigation link or the button we configured scrolls the page right to the bottom section.
And that’s all there is to it! We hope you enjoy this handy feature that will improve navigation on a longer page.
Update #3: Customize Your GDPR Cookie Banner
As you know, on May 25th, Kartra became GDPR compliant and added tools to allow you to be GDPR compliant too. One of the requests we received was the ability to customize what visitors from the EU will see in the GDPR cookie banner at the bottom of your Kartra-hosted web pages.
We heard you. Now you can tailor the language of your cookie banner as well as turn it on/off.
To do this, go to your profile in the upper right corner, scroll down and click on “GDPR.” You’ll see the window displayed below.
Make sure to activate GDPR in the upper right-hand corner. Then, scroll to the bottom of the screen where it says “cookie disclaimer banner.” Here, you can tailor the language as you see fit. You can also easily toggle the banner on and off to suit your specific needs.
This further helps you create the exact experience you want for your users when they visit your web pages.
