You use widgets to add content (such as stories, links and upcoming events) to your bulletin or web page. They are essential design features, and each one has a different function.
In this article we'll take a closer look at the different types of Sponsors widgets. The Sponsors widgets are used to place a complete list of your sponsors onto the Home Page or a given Custom Page. Learn more about creating Custom Pages.
To get started with the page designer, login to your club’s website and click Member Area in the top right.
In the Member Area, click Website tab in the top blue menu.
In the grey menu just below, click Designer Home.
Add Sponsors to your Home Page
To add Sponsors to the Home Page, hover over the Home Page in the Recent Pages section, then click Open.

Click the Bulletin & PR widget group in the Content tab. You may need to scroll down the list of widgets, or click Preformatted Widgets, to minimize this group.
In the Bulletin & PR group, you can use these any of these three widgets to display your sponsors:
Home Page All Sponsors - Displays all of the club’s active sponsors on the home page.
Home Page Animated Sponsors - Displays a carousel of the sponsors, transitioning to one sponsor at a time, based on the sequence.
Home Page Single Sponsor - Displays a single sponsor on the page. If the page is reloaded, a different sponsor will appear, based on the sequence.
Drag-and-drop one of the Sponsors Widgets into a layout section displaying Drop Here, or above-or-below another widget on the page.
