Express Page
Build your public page from blocks, keep it in sync with your events, products and services, and share it as a link, a QR code or a contact card.
Your Express Page is your organization's public page. It's the one link to put in your bio, on your business cards and in your emails. It lives at lahuta.org/northside-pottery, with the short link luta.co/northside-pottery. You build it from blocks, and the blocks for events, products, services and blog posts fill themselves from your dashboard.
Setting up your organization already made a first version. This page covers changing it.
Open the editor
Select Express Page at the bottom of the dashboard sidebar. Your live page opens, and as an admin you'll see an Edit page button on it. Select it to open the editor at lahuta.org/northside-pottery/edit.
The editor has three parts:
- Left panel. Two tabs: Add for new blocks and Design for the look of the whole page.
- Middle. Your page as visitors see it. Switch between Phone and Full width above it.
- Right panel. Settings for the block you've selected, with Hide and Delete at the bottom.
The top bar holds Dashboard to go back, your page address, View live, Contact card, Preview and Save. Select the address to copy your page link.
Save to publish
Changes aren't live until you select Save. The top bar shows "Unsaved changes" until you do, and your browser warns you if you try to leave.
Build your page
Add a block
Open the Add tab and select a block. It's added below the block you have selected, or at the end of the page.
Fill it in
The new block is selected and its settings open on the right. Text blocks work differently. You type straight onto the page, and highlight text to format it.
Arrange it
A selected block gets a toolbar. Drag its handle to reorder, or use Move up, Move down, Duplicate, Hide from page and Delete. The plus button adds a block right below it. A hidden block stays in the editor but doesn't show on your live page.
Save
Select Preview to see the page without the editor around it, then Exit preview. Select Save when you're happy. You'll see "Page saved".
Blocks
Lahuta widgets
These are synced from your dashboard. Each one lists your latest items automatically, so all you set is the section title. The block settings link to the matching dashboard page, for example Manage products.
| Block | What visitors see |
|---|---|
| Products | Your products in a grid, each linking to its product page, and a View shop → link to your shop page. |
| Services | Your services with prices, each linking to its service page. |
| Events | Your upcoming events, five at a time. Under Row thumbnail, choose Cover for the event image or Date for a date tile. Under Show more, choose Pages to let visitors page through the rest, or Infinite scroll to load more as they scroll. |
| Donations | A support box with suggested amounts and a button. It can't take payments yet. Visitors see "Donations are coming soon." |
| Blog | Your latest published posts. |
A synced block with nothing to show is left off your live page.
Essentials
| Block | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Profile | Your name, Location, Bio, Avatar and Cover image. Pick a Layout and an Avatar shape. |
| Link button | One tappable link with a Title, Subtitle, URL and optional Icon. |
| Social icons | A row of icons linking to your social profiles. |
| Text | A heading or paragraph. |
| Image | One photo, with Aspect ratio, Caption, Alt text and an optional link. |
| Image gallery | A grid of photos. |
| Subscribe | A signup form. Visitors enter a name and, depending on Collect, an email address, a phone number or both. Set the Title, Subtitle and Button label. |
The Subscribe block
Collect decides what the form asks for:
- Email address. The visitor's email joins your newsletter. If Require confirmation is on for your newsletter, they join once they confirm by email.
- Phone number. The number is saved on their contact, with their consent to marketing texts, so your text campaigns can reach it. The visitor must tick "I agree to get recurring marketing texts from" your organization's name before the form sends. The rest of the line says consent isn't a condition of purchase, that message frequency varies and rates may apply, and to reply HELP for help or STOP to opt out. Lahuta keeps the exact line they saw, the page, and when they agreed.
- Email and phone. The email is required and joins your newsletter. The phone number is optional, and a visitor who enters one must tick the same box.
Phone number and Email and phone are only offered once your organization has its own texting number. See Text messaging. Until then the form asks for an email address, whatever Collect was set to.
If your organization asks new numbers to reply YES, the form tells the visitor to check their phone and reply YES to your text.
A phone number never joins your newsletter, which is sent by email only. If the person had replied STOP to your texts before, they stay opted out until they text START.
Embeds
| Block | What to paste |
|---|---|
| YouTube | A YouTube link, or the embed code from YouTube's Share menu |
| Spotify | A Spotify link to a track or playlist, or its embed code |
| Fillout form | Your Fillout form ID |
| Embed | Any HTML embed code, such as an iframe from another service |
Design
The Design tab styles the whole page.
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Looks | Ready-made designs such as Editorial, Paper, Noir and Midnight. Shuffle picks a random combination. |
| Theme | The background style: Minimal, Aurora, Mesh, Pattern, Confetti or Emoji. |
| Background | A variant of the theme, and how strong it is: Subtle, Medium or Bold. With the Emoji theme you also pick the emoji. |
| Color | The accent colour. Pick a swatch or enter a Custom hex. |
| Display | Light or Dark. |
| Typography | The font pairing, such as Editorial, Modern or Classic. |
| Corners | Soft, Pill or Sharp buttons and cards. |
Contact card
Your page can double as a digital business card. Select Contact card in the top bar to open "Digital business card". It's filled in from your page and your organization's contact details. Change anything you like:
- Turn on Enable digital business card.
- Check Display name, First name, Last name, Company and Job title.
- Add phone numbers, email addresses, Websites and a Note.
- Turn on Include social links to add your social profiles to the card.
Save the page to publish it. Visitors then see a Save contact button on your page. On a phone it opens the add-contact screen with your details filled in. The card also gets its own link, lahuta.org/northside-pottery/contact.
Edit on your phone
On a small screen, a bar at the bottom of the editor holds Add, Design, Card and a preview button. Tap a block to open its settings in a sheet.
What visitors see
- Your page, with a small "made with Lahuta" badge at the bottom.
- On a computer, a "Scan to view on mobile" QR code in the corner.
- A Save contact button, if the contact card is on.
- Your booking pages, listed at
lahuta.org/northside-pottery/book.
Old links to lahuta.org/p/northside-pottery still work and send people to your page.
Only admins can edit the page. A member who opens the editor sees it in view-only mode and can't save.
