Custom Pages for Your Site

Overview

The Custom Pages module allows schools, universities, and institutions to expand their alumni site with site-specific pages tailored to their community. Schools can create a parent page (e.g. About Us) and up to six child pages, making it easy to share important information such as school history, guidelines, policies, or alumni resources — all within the Alumnly platform.

This feature gives institutions flexibility while keeping content organised and easy for alumni to navigate.

Best Use Cases for Custom Pages

1. About Us / School History
2. Alumni Guidelines or Code of Conduct
3. Mentoring Program Information
4. Alumni Benefits & Resources
5. Policies, Handbooks, or Reference Documents

Alumni Experience: Viewing Custom Pages

Here’s how alumni will see and access your custom pages:
 

1. The renamed parent page (e.g. About Us) appears in the alumni navigation menu.
2. Clicking the parent page expands to show the child pages you’ve created.
3. When alumni clicks a child page, they’ll see:
   1. The content you’ve added
   2. Any attached PDF files
   3. Images and supporting information

This structure keeps content clean, organised, and easy to explore.
