Members can customize various aspects of their member sites to create an engaging experience for their audience. Here's how to customize key elements:

Member Homepage Customization

To set a new member homepage:

  1. Open Pages panel
  2. Find your member site
  3. Click "..." on the desired page
  4. Select "Set as Member Homepage"
  5. Click Confirm

Note: The first page added automatically becomes the homepage. If deleted, the next available page becomes the homepage.

Navigation Options

Choose from these navigation styles:

  • Replace main navigation (7.1 only): Shows member navigation at top when logged in
  • Show in Customer Account panel: Accessible via Account link
  • Do not show navigation: Hidden navigation requiring custom menu creation

Payment Customization

Create custom payment forms to:

  • Collect customer information
  • Get feedback
  • Display Terms of Use

Note: Custom payment forms don't appear for free member sites.

Email Notification Options

Customize these automatic emails:

  • Welcome Email
  • Cancellation Email
  • Customer Account Emails
  • Subscription Confirmation (free plans only)

Paywall Customization

Paywalls appear to visitors who:

  • Haven't logged into their Customer Account
  • Aren't members of the relevant pricing plan

Style customization options are available through the Design panel for all elements including homepage layout, navigation appearance, and paywall design.

Email notifications can be fully customized to match your brand voice and provide relevant information to members at each stage of their membership journey.

Remember to maintain clear navigation paths and provide necessary information for members to access their content easily, regardless of your chosen customization options.
