Adding Purpose-Built Pages
Explore examples of purpose-built pages you can add to your Auctria event website.
Auctria's website editor gives you the flexibility to build pages tailored to specific goals — from collecting donations to teasing upcoming content. The examples below highlight some of the most common purpose-built page types and when to use them.
Donation Page
A Donation Page lets guests contribute directly through your event website, with options for general cash donations, giving levels, a progress tracker, or specific donation causes through Donation Items.
If you are using one of Auctria's website templates, a donation page is already included and ready to customize. To add one from scratch, create a new page and drag the Donation element from the Website Editor Sidebar onto the page. You can mix and match multiple donation elements on the same page — or across several pages — if you are running a campaign with multiple themes or causes.

See Add Cash Donations To Your Website for more details on setting up cash donations, and Donation Items for fund-a-need or multi-cause giving campaigns.
Sponsors Page
A Sponsors Page displays the sponsors who have purchased Sponsorship items for your event. If you have added sponsorship items and recorded any sales, the page is automatically added to your website.

Coming Soon Page
A Coming Soon Page lets you publish a placeholder on a specific page of your website while keeping the actual content hidden until you are ready to reveal it — without taking the whole site offline.
The typical approach is to add a coming soon image or message to the page, then use the Visibility setting on the hidden element (such as an Item Catalog) to show it only in edit mode. When you are ready to launch, delete the placeholder and clear the visibility setting.

Save The Date Page
A Save The Date Page acts as a welcoming landing page for visitors while you continue building your main event website behind the scenes. It typically includes event details, a countdown timer, your organization's logo, and optionally a donation element or a Register Now button.
Once the page is ready, set it as your event's homepage using the Make Homepage option in the Website Pages window. You can hide the navigation menu for the page under Current Page settings, and remove the page's menu entry from your header once your main site is ready to go.

Black Philanthropy Month
Auctria has partnered with BackBlack to offer a special setup for Black Philanthropy Month. This generates a ready-to-go donation website featuring stories of impact, a giving thermometer, and more.
To create your Black Philanthropy campaign, go to Organization in the left sidebar and click the Black Philanthropy button. Click Create Event to generate a new donation event pre-configured for the campaign. From there, you can customize your donation page, set donation goals, and begin sharing your event.
