Donate Banner

Example of the donate banner

Donate Banner snippets are call to action banners that render at the top of the browser site wide.

The user has the option to remove the banner from view by clicking the 'X' at the top right corner of the banner.

If a user selects to remove the banner, it will remain hidden from view for 24 hours.

3. On the donate banner edit page, you will see the following (required) fields:

  • Name - Used to identify the banner in the CMS
  • Title - The heading of the donate banner. We recommend a max character count of 30.
  • Subtitle - The subheading that renders below the title. For best results we recommend a max character count of 60.
  • Cta Button Text - This field updates the text inside the purple CTA button.
  • Cta link - This field updates the URL that the button will link to. This can either link to a full URL, or, a relative URL (ex: ?form=donate).
  • Background Image - The image that will appear on the donate banner. For best results we recommend a PNG image with transparent background.

4. Once all fields have been updated, click the save button at the bottom of the page. The donate banner is now ready for use!
