What is the Webpage Builder?
The central idea with the Webpage Builder is that it allows you to create a 'one-stop' online location where the public can learn about and participate in different projects. It can be just a single page for a single project, or a complex website structure with many sub-categories.
In practice, you create pages and collect them under a front page. The Webpage Builder module comes with an unlimited number of project pages, so feel free to create as many pages as your project requires! Take a look at what pages can look like by browsing the demo website found in this link.
The webpage builder allows you to:
- Tell stakeholders more about your project
- Inform participants about events and deadlines
- Include links to your questionnaire
- Get comments from the public
- Allow people to share the project on social media
