Building the public website

Build your public organization page with rows, columns and widgets, choose a template, check the preview and connect your own domain.

Updated: October 7, 2026

With the website builder you put together your organization’s public page — the page visitors see at /org/<slug>, or on your own domain. The page consists of rows; each row has one or more columns, and you put widgets in a column.

Where to find it

Sidebar → Organization Management → Public website. There are two tabs: Builder and Custom domain.

Who can do this

Permission Manage public website (manage_public_site). The website builder works in every plan. A custom domain is only available with Education Complete or Membership + Education Complete. Teachers have no access.

Widgets

  • Basic widgets: Text, Image, Button, Divider, HTML / embed, Socials and Advertisement (shows paid advertisements; module Advertising).
  • Section widgets that show your own data: Hero, Registration (the registration form), Become a member (only with Self-service member registration), Events, Announcements, Holidays, Map & info, Ask a question (only with the Communication module) and Footer.

Step by step: build your page

  1. Choose a template: Classic, Split, Bold or Clay.
  2. Choose the content language and fill in your texts per language. Empty languages fall back to Turkish.
  3. Click New row. Use Add column to split the row into columns.
  4. In a column, click Widget and choose a widget. The settings open in a window with the tabs Content, Style, Animation and Visibility (for example only show on mobile).
  5. Under Row settings you choose background, width, height and full-bleed. Use move up/down, dragging and duplicate to change the order.
  6. Check the preview on the right on desktop or mobile and in every language. View live opens the real page.

Changes are saved automatically; the status is shown at the top. Save stores immediately, Undo/Redo (Ctrl/⌘+Z) takes a step back.

Step by step: connect your own domain

  1. Open the Custom domain tab, enter the domain name (for example www.myorg.org) and click Add domain.
  2. Set the DNS records shown (Host and Value) at your domain provider. Enter the host relatively, as shown.
  3. Wait until the DNS change has propagated and click Verify. The domain is then active; the HTTPS certificate is arranged automatically.
  4. Disconnect removes the domain again.

I can’t see it / it doesn’t work

  • I don’t see the menu. You lack the Manage public website permission.
  • The Custom domain tab is locked. Your plan does not include a custom domain; switch to Education Complete or Membership + Education Complete.
  • Verification fails. DNS changes can take a few hours. Check that host and value are exactly right.
  • A section stays empty. Become a member only works when the Self-service member registration module is switched on for your organization; Ask a question only with the Communication module. You cannot switch these modules on yourself in the settings (the Features tab is read-only): request Self-service member registration from Aqlemy with a support request; Communication follows from your plan.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I change the colours and logo? In the organization settings, General tab, Branding block. The website uses them.

Does the Aqlemy credit disappear on a custom domain? No, it stays visible in the footer.

Can I put the registration form on my own website? Yes, with the Widget Generator in the organization settings (module Widget Embed).
