The first thing you should do when you receive one of our Global Marketing templates is personalize your homepage.
Personalize your Homepage by using the following steps:
- Log into your WordPress Dashboard:
- Go to http://sites.northwestern.edu and click Log in on the white banner.
- At the Online Passport screen, enter your NetID and NetID password, then click Log in.
- From the left menu, click Appearance.
- Select Customize.
Customizing the Header Lockup
The default header format is a single standard line of text. There are four additional options, but we recommend that you use the single line option unless you are a part of a larger entity.
To change the header on your new website:
- On the left menu, select Header Lockup.
- Change the text in the Lockup Line 1 text field.
- After making your site title changes, click the blue Save & Publish button.
Note: You will have to click the
Save and Publish button every time you change something within the Customise menu.
Changing your Hero Image and Hero Image Text
- On the left menu, select Homepage.
- Click Hero Banner.
- Customize the four options, using the screenshot below for guidance:
- To change your hero banner image, click Change Image and select your image from your desktop or drag it into the uploader.
- Note: your hero banner image must be 1440px by 420px. We suggest cropping the image before uploading it.
- Once you have customized the four options and changed the hero banner image, please click the blue Save and Publish button.
