CREATE WEBSITE URL

To start creating your website, you have to choose your URL (your website address):

Click your name at the top right corner and select Settings

Click on the tab Website

Be sure Link my studio website that came with my account box option is selected

Here is where you need to create your URL. In the box http://____________.duetpartner.com Type in text box what you would like, such as your studio name, your personal name, etc.

Click Save Website Settings at the bottom of the page

Now your website is live! Time to format.

CREATE HOMEPAGE

To set up your homepage, select Website from the left hand menu.

Select Pages

From the table, go to the Home line and click on Edit

Here you can add anything you want to appear on your homepage! If you wish to embed a YouTube video, check out this article

Click Save Page

If you'd like to see what your website looks like, you can click on View My Website Now (from the Website>Pages page)

*REGISTRATION PAGE

This page is where potential students can register for your studio. They fill out the form and questions you have listed here and when they submit it, you will receive an email. The student will automatically be added to your Waitlist within your Duet account.

*PHOTO PAGE

This page can look a bit confusing because you don't actually add the pictures on this particular screen. This editable page is here so you can change the name of the page, change what order you wish this page to be on your website buttons, and to select whether you want this page to be active or not.

To actually add photos, you need to go back to the left menu Website>Photos. Here you add the photos (+New Photo). After it's been uploaded, you will find these photos under your Photos page on your actual website.

*RESOURCES PAGE

This page acts similar to the Photo's page in that you don't actually add the content here, it is just for editing page title, page order and page activation. To add resources, you need to go to the left menu Website>File Area. Here you can upload all types of files. This area can be used to share files with your students, as you can select which files are accessible to students, and even select particular students if needed. When you add a file, just follow the prompts.

You can also add links to the Resources Page as well. To do so, go to the left menu Website>Links and click +New Link. This area is handy to be able to share websites with your students such as where to buy books, or where to listen to a particular podcast, etc.

*CONTACT & LOGIN PAGE

These pages acts similar to the Photo page as well in that you don't actually add content but it is just for editing page title, page order and page activation.

On your actual website, the Contact page is a place where a potential student can contact you without your personal information being listed. When they submit their writing, it will come as an email to you.

The Login page is where students can log in with their credentials (set up within your account) and it will take them to the student page of your Duet account. To see what your students see when they log in, check out this article.

*STUDIO POLICY

To write your Studio Policy, go to your left menu: Website>Pages>Studio Policy and click Edit. Here you can type up your policies. However, to publish them on your site, you'll have to do one more step:

Website>Pages>Registration and click Edit

From here, under the heading Adult Student/Parent Information, find Studio Policy and select the Enable column button and click Save Page.

Now it will show up as a menu option on your webpage. To see more info on how this page works, see this article.

*BLOGS

This page is also just for editing page title, page order and page activation (if you wish for your blog to be an active page on your site, be sure the Page Status is set to Active). To enter content for your blog, follow these steps:

Go to your left menu Website>Blog>Posts

Here you can start writing!

*ANNOUNCEMENTS

The announcements show up on the side bar of your website and are visible while on any page of your website. To add an announcement, simply click the +Announcement button. You can see there are different settings to each announcement, such as who can see the announcement, how long you wish the announcement to be posted and what order you want that announcement to be. Once you've completed your writing and options, click Save.
