Configuring your Standard micro-site

Some suggestions on how best to configure your Business Organization’s micro-site

Home Page and Micro-site Navigation

An example of part of a home page:



a. Micro-site Home page link
b. Announcements page, best used to post events and other new information relevant to your members
c. Forum for discussions between members, providing and seeking advice, resources. Can be configured to be available to non members
d. Members Forum, similar to (c) but can be configured to be accessible only to members
e. Registered vKoopia users can request to join the organization. The micro-site admins will receive an email request and can approve users.
f. Viewable and accessible only to micro-site admins, to manage the Organization profile
g. Registered users can request to provide reciprocal links to the Organization. If approved, the name of the requesting business will be displayed at the bottom of your home page and your organization’s name will appear on the requesting business profile on vKoopia. See Business Network for more details on this feature
h. This is where your Organization’s logo would appear
i. This is where a brief summary of your organization will go and which will also be displayed in the Directory
j. Information on the organization, including a description, links and contact information


Managing your Profile

An example of the “Manage Profile” page:


This page is only accessible to the micro-site admin(s)

1. Returns the admin to the profile home page
2. Allows you to edit the profile information, including Organization description and contact information, which gets displayed on the “home” page
3. Upload your organization logo
4. Allows you to select options for the Forum, Announcements and Member Forum. For example you could decide to allow the members forum to be accessed by non members and the Member Forum only accessible to members. Select “update” after making any changes
5. If a registered vKoopia user requests to join, by selecting the “Join” button in (e) above, this is where you can elect to accept or reject them. If there are no pending requests, this will be empty
6. A list of members the admin(s) has accepted. Hovering over their name provides you with some information, including their business profile. Selecting the name takes you to their “public profile” on vKoopia
7. A list of micro-site admins, where you can share the responsibility of administering the site
8. Where you can add a new admin to the micro-site. Enter their vKoopia user name. The user must already be a member of the group, with their name appearing in the “Members List” (6)

Moderating the Forums and Announcements

The micro-site admin(s) can moderate the forum posts, member forum posts and Announcement posts. View the forums and Announcement posts to take any action, including any post deletion.
