The Sermon Section
While the Sermon Hub is the best place to direct people to access your entire sermons archive and library, it can be helpful to highlight a specific sermon or collection of sermons directly on a page on your website, including your Homepage! That way visitors to your site can see previews of a sermon (or collection of sermons) while elsewhere on your website, rather than just within your Sermon Hub.
To begin, click on Pages in Nucleus Web. Click here to go right there. Then click Edit on any page, or click + Create New Page to start afresh and follow the instructions on the screen.
Note: Editing a section involves much more than focusing on the specific type of section. For instance, there are a slew of design and layout options you can choose for every single section you add to a page. This guide focuses specifically on the uniqueness of the Sermon Section. To learn more about how to add and edit a section in general, click here [article coming soon].
In this guide, we'll cover the following topics. Click on any one to jump ahead.
Add A Sermon Section To A Page
As explained in this guide, Nucleus pages are built using sections. To add Sermons to your page, we'll start by adding a Sermon Section.
To add a Sermon Section to a page, go to your Pages Panel and click on any page to edit it. (If you don’t have any pages to edit, you can always edit your Homepage. Alternatively, you can create a new page. Click here to learn more about how to do that.)
While in the Page Editor, click on + Add New Section.
Then, click to add the Sermon Section.
Next, select a layout for how the information in your section will be displayed.
Note: Many section layouts allow you to showcase text along with whatever type of specific media/content you want to add (like sermons). This guide will only explore the specifics of showcasing a sermon or collection of sermons in a section. The text features rely on how the Information Section functions. To learn more about adding text to a section (and subsequently learn more about the Information Section), click here.
Finally, give your section a name. (This is purely for admin organization purposes, so it doesn’t have to be anything fancy.)
Note: This article will only focus on the unique functionality for the Sermon Section. To learn more about how to edit the layout and design of a section, click here [ARTICLE COMING SOON].
Preview Your Page
In all places where you can create and edit your web pages or design options, Nucleus operates with an autosave feature. At any point in time, you can choose to preview your website to see how your changes in your Dashboard are affecting your website as a visitor to your site would see it.
Simply click Preview in the top right corner.
This will open a new tab in your browser and will take you to your Nucleus Web preview URL.
To go back to your Dashboard, click on the appropriate tab in your browser.
Note: Clicking on the Preview button will always open a new tab, so unless you close out each preview tab opened, you could end up with several tabs opened with different iterations of how you’ve changed the design of your website.
