Your organization home page is the place visitors and organization members will start. How your home page looks will create first impressions – not just about you as a GIS organization, but also about the quality and veracity of the maps and apps people will find there.<\/p>\n

People do judge books by their cover, so it\u2019s important to have a professional looking, aesthetic, and well-organized home site, whether you\u2019re exposing it only within your organization, or to a more public audience.<\/p>\n

The home page can also deliver helpful resources and content for organization members and public visitors. You can configure a modern and professional-looking home page that reflects your organization’s branding and mission and showcases the maps, scenes, apps, and layers that are most important to your community.<\/p>\n

In this blog article, we’ll take a closer look at how to build your organization’s home page and create a great destination.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":922151,"id":922151,"title":"home-1s","filename":"home-1s.jpg","filesize":54897,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/07\/home-1s.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/administration\/create-a-great-home-page-for-your-organization\/home-1s","alt":"Home page examples","author":"7641","description":"","caption":"View larger image","name":"home-1s","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":78651,"date":"2020-07-07 21:31:57","modified":"2020-07-07 21:32:35","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":826,"height":401,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/07\/home-1s-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/07\/home-1s.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/07\/home-1s.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":373,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/07\/home-1s.jpg","large-width":826,"large-height":401,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/07\/home-1s.jpg","1536x1536-width":826,"1536x1536-height":401,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/07\/home-1s.jpg","2048x2048-width":826,"2048x2048-height":401,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/07\/home-1s.jpg","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":401,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/07\/home-1s.jpg","wide_image-width":826,"wide_image-height":401}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/07\/home-1.jpg"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Add an item gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use item galleries to showcase content on your home page.<\/p>\n

When you configure an item gallery, you specify a group that contains the items you want to display. This allows you to configure custom galleries to display different content for different audiences. For example, an organization that\u00a0allows anonymous access<\/a>\u00a0may want some items to be visible only to organization members and hidden from nonmember visitors to the site.<\/p>\n

If a group can be viewed publicly, anyone who can see your home page will see the item gallery. Only organization members will see item galleries configured with groups viewable only to the organization.<\/p>\n

The items that are visible in an item gallery can vary depending on sharing settings for the items. As with groups, only publicly shared items will be visible to anonymous visitors. Thus, by carefully configuring group visibility and item sharing, you can control what visitors to your home page can see.<\/p>\n

Item gallery settings:<\/p>\n

a <\/strong>\u2013 The group whose content is used to populate the item gallery.<\/p>\n

b <\/strong>\u2013 The title displayed above the gallery. The title can be toggled off or on.<\/p>\n

c <\/strong>\u2013 The summary displayed below the title. The summary can be toggled off or on.<\/p>\n

d <\/strong>\u2013 Alignment of the title and summary text.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1248202,"id":1248202,"title":"hp-14s","filename":"hp-14s.jpg","filesize":53185,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hp-14s.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/administration\/create-a-great-home-page-for-your-organization\/hp-14s","alt":"Edit item gallery","author":"7641","description":"","caption":"View larger image","name":"hp-14s","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":78651,"date":"2021-06-03 21:28:56","modified":"2021-06-03 21:29:37","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":826,"height":450,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hp-14s-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hp-14s.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":253,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hp-14s.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":418,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hp-14s.jpg","large-width":826,"large-height":450,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hp-14s.jpg","1536x1536-width":826,"1536x1536-height":450,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hp-14s.jpg","2048x2048-width":826,"2048x2048-height":450,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hp-14s.jpg","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":450,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hp-14s.jpg","wide_image-width":826,"wide_image-height":450}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hp-14.jpg"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Tips and best practices<\/h2>\n

Here’s a few tips and best practices to consider when crafting a professional looking home page.<\/p>\n

Experiment with color and style<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harmonize the look and feel of the entire home page, from banner graphics, to background colors of sections, to item thumbnails if shown in a gallery. It’s easy to make changes and see how things look. Use Colors to quickly change and harmonize your theme.<\/p>\n

Avoid text and logos in your header image<\/strong><\/p>\n

The entire home page is designed to be responsive to look great on any device. Burning text and other graphic elements directly into banner images might lead to undesirable results when viewed at different sizes and on different devices.<\/p>\n

Keep text blocks short and to the point<\/strong><\/p>\n

Provide enough information to be useful, but avoid adding too much text.<\/p>\n

Streamline your item galleries<\/strong><\/p>\n

You might not need to show all the information for items in your item galleries. For example, the item type might not be needed, or the item summary. You can clean-up the look of your site by seeing what you can remove instead of adding unneeded information.<\/p>\n

Use great thumbnails<\/strong><\/p>\n

If using thumbnails in item galleries, avoid blurry images or the use of small, non-contrast text. Don’t duplicate the title or item type in the thumbnail. Keep thumbnails simple.<\/p>\n

Add a contact<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consider adding a contact us<\/em> email link in the footer section of your site.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
