Microsite Templates Explained

Microsites are purpose-built miniature websites that only give participants access to program information. They’re built using the visual editor. Each microsite supports having multiple pages. When you use Auto setup to create a microsite, impact.com sets up a basic site structure with distinct layouts and pages for signed-in and signed-out participants. Additional layout and page templates are also provided to those who want to add more to their site.

See Microsite Editor Explained for more info about what Layouts and Pages are, and how they can be branded.

Layout templates

Layouts are containers for microsite pages. You can add components that you want to appear consistently across all pages within the layout—like headers and banners. Auto setup microsites come with pre-made layouts, but you can add more. The three template options are:

• Base Layout - for overall content.
• Logged In Layout - for signed-in participants.
• Logged Out Layout - for public access.

Page templates

There are a variety of page templates as well.

Dashboard page

• Program explainer section
• Program statistics
• Referral code and share links
• Share buttons

Activity page

The activity page is a one-stop shop for customer advocates’ program activity within your microsite. It includes program statistics and a referral history table.

Account management pages

There are templates available for pages that customer advocates encounter when performing different site functions. These are included by default in an Auto setup microsite, but can be adjusted. The account management templates are:

• Edit profile page
• 404 page
• Email verification page
• Forgot password page
• Login page
• Logout page
• Registration page
• Reset password page
• Verify email page
