Add a banner to your website

About

Do you have an important message to convey or a link to share with your customers? The announcement bar (or banner) is the ideal solution. Positioned at the top of your site, it is visible on all pages of your website, allowing you to communicate directly with your visitors.

Activate the banner display

To ensure it is visible on your site, you need to activate the publication of your banner directly. To do this, simply click on the button located on the right of the screen from the general announcements page:

Create a banner

  1. Go to the "Announcement" section from the site editor in CentralApp

There are 3 types of announcements available, each designed for different needs. In this article, we explain how to create a banner:

The banner Settings

Publication Date

Set a start date for the appearance of the banner.

An end date can also be specified (optional) if you want the banner to be displayed temporarily (e.g., promoting a holiday menu). The bar will disappear automatically at midnight, the day after the chosen end date.

👋 If no end date is set, the banner will remain visible indefinitely on your site.

Add a Call to Action

To activate calls to action, simply enable the button located on the right. This setting also applies to backgrounds:

1. Promotion of a business objective

If you want to encourage your customers to take a specific action on your site, this banner allows you to display a message with a button. This button will redirect your visitors to the corresponding page of your site.

Here’s a list of possible business objectives: table reservation, room reservation/privatization, booking a room, contact form, recruitment, order taking, appointment booking, franchise, presenting your events, presenting your menu, etc.

👋 The list of objectives varies depending on the features activated in CentralApp. It is possible that you may not have access to all the options listed above.

2. Custom Action

If you want to redirect your customers to a specific link (external form) or another website, the banner with a custom action is ideal. You can include a link and text that will serve as a clickable button, hiding the full URL.

👋 Multilingual site? Make sure to translate your message into the different languages activated on your site so that all your visitors can understand the content of the banner.

➡️ Activate multilingual on your site

Add a background ("Background")

The color of the banner is linked to the highlight color set in your site's branding settings. If you are not satisfied with this color, you can either customize it in the Branding section or simply choose a custom color.

Is it possible to add multiple banners on the website?

Yes, it is possible. They will not all be displayed at the same time; there will be a rotation.

You can also schedule multiple banners in advance by setting a start date and an end date for each announcement bar.
