(Site Planning Worksheet | Beaver Builder "How to" Instructions)
Watch the AglowNet info videoHave you ever wanted a website for your Lighthouse, Area Team, Aglow Region or nation with the same look and feel as the Aglow website? Need a little help getting it going?
The new AglowNet initiative from the Headquarters office may be just the answer to help you get started.
With an AglowNet site, you can keep people informed about your group, upcoming events, about Aglow, and get your information out about the wonderful things you are doing.
Pages Included in Set Up
To help you get going with your AglowNet site the Headquarters office will start you out with the Home page, and additional pages including:
- Team information page
- Aglow Vision and Mission page
- Aglow Mandates page
- Aglow Core Values page
- Global Partnership page
- A Contact Us page
- And other pages of your choice, such as a page with information about your Lighthouse or an important upcoming event.
URLs
The web address for all AglowNet sites will be as follows:
- All URLs will start with http://aglownet.org
- Lighthouses - http://aglownet.org/LIGHTHOUSENAME/

- States - http://aglownet.org/STATENAME/
- Regions - http://aglownet.org/REGIONNAME/

AglowNet sites use WordPress for the content management system, so it will be pretty easy for you to pick up your site and run with it after the initial pages have been created by the Headquarters office.
