How to set up your library's website ​

Every library on Librarify gets a public website at its own address, such as yourlibrary.librarify.in. Members can see your seats and prices there, sign up and book. You change it from Settings → Website.

Who can do thisOwner, Org admin by default, or any staff role given Org Settings → Manage in Settings → Staff role permissions.

Before you start ​

The website takes your library's name, logo, opening hours, phone and email from your library settings. Check them first:

Set up your website ​

  1. In the left menu, click Settings, then open the Website tab.
  2. On General, pick a homepage design and click Save changes. See Homepage designs.
  3. Work through the sections on the left: Hero, Services, Facilities, Gallery, Hours & pricing, FAQ, Footer & social and SEO & sharing. See Website sections.
  4. In each section, change the text and click that section's Save changes. Each section saves on its own.

Auto-fill words ​

Many text boxes show Auto-fill words: {{orgName}}, {{city}}, {{price}}, {{phone}} and {{email}}. Click a text box, then click a word to add it. On the live page it becomes your library name, city, price, phone or email, so the text stays right when those change.

What happens next ​

  • Saved changes show on the live homepage straight away.
  • If you switch section or leave with unsaved changes, Librarify asks Leave without saving?. Click Keep editing to go back and save, or Discard changes to throw them away.
  • To use your own address, such as yourlibrary.com, see Custom domain.
