How to set up your Duda 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's experience is intuitive :)
Member Menu | Member dashboard page |
Dropdown in site navigation |
Option 1 - Enable the Member Menu
The easiest way to set up member navigation is by utilizing our Member Menu feature. Learn more about the Member Menu as well as how to enable it in
this guide.
Option 2 - Create a member dashboard page
This is one of the more popular approaches MemberSpace customers use.
- You would first create a page in your Duda site (e.g. "/dashboard") and design it however you want. See this case study for a visual example.
- You would then add the page URL as a Member Page in MemberSpace.
- You would make sure to include links on this dashboard page to the various other Member 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.
- We recommend you also make this dashboard page the After Log In and After Sign Up page URL for all your Member Plans so new and returning members are taken there automatically.
- You could also add a link to this dashboard page in your top navigation within Duda. First, make sure you are logged into your Duda backend.
- Click on Pages on the left, then click "New Page" at the top:
- Click "Page URL":
- Enter in any title you want to represent the page (e.g. Member Dashboard). Then, type in the URL of the dashboard page you previously created and click Add Page:
Option 3 - Create a dropdown in your top navigation
- If you prefer to have links to every Member Page easily accessible in your top navigation, we recommend you add a navigation folder.
- You could set the navigation folder title to something like "Member Navigation". Then, you would add links within the navigation folder to your various Member Pages.
- You could also include a Member Link popup in the navigation folder.
