FAQs How can members get to the website? Each chapter will have its own unique URL. NABA’s National website will have links and redirects for each chapter and chapters may also redirect their current URL for a short period of time. How will the pages be built? The core frame has already been built and content populated. Chapter leaders receive a link to enter custom content for their chapter. For the initial rollout, NABA Inc. will populate each chapter’s website with the content provided from the chapter leaders. How can content be updated? Chapter president and designated webmaster will be provided admin rights to access the website to update content. How will the chapters be supported? There are NABA support contacts as well as Higher Logic support contacts.
FAQs How are these websites saving the chapters money? Chapters will not have to pay for web hosting, paying for a vendor to build or update the website, chapter doesn’t have to pay for a URL. How soon will the websites go live? The implementation for the chapter sites are scheduled to begin late June 2018. The target date for all chapter sites to be “live” is early September. I see that there is a ‘Community Features’ drop down on the navigation bar. Where does this take you? The NABA Now community site. How do we log into the website (and NABA Now site)? You must use your log in that you use to access your NABA account.
