Creating a site for your club comes with a long list of benefits. Your site acts as the official public face of your club, allowing you to increase visibility and share information with your members, prospects, and anyone else who interacts with your club. Your members can log in to their account to view their private dashboard directly from your website, putting all the info they need in one place. Site Builder is a feature that empowers you to create and maintain a site – including multiple pages within it – and you don't even need to know any HTML! Site Builder’s drag-and-drop functionality is intuitive and easy to learn.
Before getting started, log in to your memberplanet admin portal. Your club admin permissions will allow you to have access to Site Builder once you are logged in.
