Create a custom page

Custom pages are a great way to share forms, media, or information you would include in a church bulletin. You can even set a page to limited access to display content to certain membership types only. Custom pages are in addition to the built-in pages that link to Planning Center products.

Create and publish a page

1. Select Pages from the top navigation.

2. Select the Add page button in the top right.

3. Add a page title that will show in your Church Center navigation.

   Warning

   This title will show in the URL path for this page and cannot be changed later.

4. Select Create page.

5. Add content to the page by dragging blocks from the right sidebar and dropping them into the body of the page.

   Block types

   Basic blocks

   Block name	Content to be added
   Button	Create a button and attach a hyperlink to it. Selecting the Open link in new tab only applies when someone is using the Church Center web pages and not the app.
   Contact	Add contact information that congregants can select or tap to contact your church.
   Divider	Add a horizontal line to divide sections of your page.
   Event schedule	Add a date, time, and description of an event.
   Image	Add an image. Select an image from your device, images previously used, or the Unsplash integration. Attach a hyperlink to the image to use it as a button. Selecting the Open link in new tab only applies when someone is using the Church Center web pages and not the app. Use the Image Sizing Guide to upload the right size and file type.
   Location	Enter an address to generate a map view on the page.
   Section header	Add a header for a section of your page. You can add a background image, button, and text.
   Social	Add a link to your church's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube page.
   Text	Add some text to your page.
   Video	Add a URL or embed code to a video hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, Resi, or Boxcast.
   Grid	Add multiple items, such as buttons and images with hyperlinks and texts, and display them in a grid with up to three columns. You can adjust the number of columns based on mobile and desktop views. It's recommended to have no more than 12 items per block. Any content added to an item will show on the published page.

   Planning Center blocks

   Add content from Planning Center products to your custom pages. A page can hold one content block for each product.

   Block name	Content to be added
   Calendar	Show up to six events, with past events dropping off automatically.
   Registrations
   Giving	Link to a specific fund.

6. When you're done adding blocks, use the buttons at the top of the editor to save, publish, and set page access.

   

   • Link only, public: Select this button to open the Page Navigation & Access popup.

     • URL: Copy the page URL so that you can add the link to a button or your navigation. You can also share this link with anyone to let them view the page directly.

     • QR code: Download the QR code to use on printed materials or displays. This code allows people to scan it to easily access the page.

     • Page access: You can control which membership types can view this page by sliding the Limited toggle and selecting the membership types. If you add this page to your navigation, everyone can see it in the navigation, but only people logged in and matching the selected membership types can view the page content.

   • Discard: Undo all changes since your last save.

   • Save draft: Save changes without publishing them.

   • Publish or Save & Publish: Publish your changes.

7. (Optional) After you've published a page, add it to the navigation for quick access.

Tip

To hide a page from the public, archive it or remove it from navigation.
