How to set up your Weebly site navigation for members

The way you want members to move through and interact on your website is usually subjective but there are some good common options to consider.

Below are the three main options MemberSpace customers have successfully used to ensure their member experience is intuitive.

Option 1 - Enable the Member Menu

Option 2 - Create a member dashboard page

This is one of the more popular approaches MemberSpace customers use.

1. First, create a page in your Weebly site (e.g. "/dashboard") and design it however you want. See this case study for a visual example.
2. Add the page URL to a product in MemberSpace.
3. Make sure to include links on this dashboard page to the various other protected pages on your website so this acts as the home base for your members to get anywhere else they need to go on your website.
4. We recommend you also make this dashboard page the After Log In and After Signup page URL for all your plans so new and returning members are taken there automatically.

5. By default when you add a page in your Weebly backend, it will appear in your top navigation which we recommend. If you don't see it there, go to your Weebly backend and find the page by clicking Pages in the top menu > click into the page on the left side menu > make sure Hide in Navigation is unchecked:

   
   

   

Option 3 - Create a dropdown in your top navigation

1. If you prefer to have links to every protected page easily accessible in your top navigation, we recommend you create a dropdown.
2. You could call the dropdown title something like "Member Navigation" and then you would add links to your various protected pages within the dropdown.
3. You could also include a Member Link popup link in the dropdown.
