Profiles are an easy way for you to display information about team members in your organisation. You could also use the profile control for other aspects of your business that you want to display information about: places of interest, key locations etc.
Creating a profile requires you to add some key information about each profile you create. At a basic level, this will include:
- Image
- Name
- Role/Position in organisation
- Bio
- Contact information
We can, however, customise this based on your needs. Some examples of custom fields we’ve added for previous clients include:
- List of current investments
- List of career milestones
- Dedicated field to add links to conflicts of interest/other key documents
Much like news articles, profiles can be separated into customisable categories. These categories behave like tags that you can associate with particular profiles. This would allow you to display different profile categories on different pages. Using a school environment as an example, you might want to set up your profiles into three categories:
- Senior leadership team
- Teaching staff
- Administrative staff
Having done this and tagging each profile with the relevant category, you could create three pages and display each type of profile on each page.
Top tip
Ensure the images you use for profiles have the same aspect ratio, or they will not display in rows correctly. At a baseline, a 1:1 aspect ratio tends to work well.
