Site-wide announcement banner

An announcement banner is a bar on every page of your site — for a registration window, a closure, a fundraiser deadline, anything you need every visitor to see without editing every page.

Setting one up:
1. Open your site in the Builder and go to the settings tab in the left sidebar.
2. Scroll to "Announcement banner".
3. Tick "Show an announcement banner on this site".
4. Write your Banner text. This is the one thing the banner cannot do without — no text, no banner.
5. Set Banner color and Text color.

Adding a button:
Fill in "Button label" and the button options appear. Leave it blank and you get a clean text-only bar.

Under "Button action" you have two choices:
• "Go to a link" — set the Button link, picking a page on your site or a URL.
• "Open a form in place" — pick one of your published Intake forms. The bar grows in place to hold the form: the page content moves down and nothing gets covered up. If you have no published forms yet, it tells you so and points you at Intake.

You can also set the Button color and Button text color.

Where it sits:
• "Right below the menu header" (the default) — under your navigation, at the top of every page.
• "At the bottom of the page".
Either way the banner sits in the normal flow of the page and pushes content along. It never floats over your content or covers a menu.

How often visitors see it:
• "On every page, until they dismiss it" (the default) — it follows them through the site until they close it.
• "Only on the first page they land on" — it appears once when they arrive, then stays out of the way.

Closing it hides the banner for the rest of that visit. It comes back the next time they open your site, so a visitor is never permanently opted out of a notice that still matters.

The banner is always dismissible — there is a close control on it, and no option to force it to stay. A visitor who has read your notice can put it away.

Good to know:
• Changes save automatically as you make them.
• In the editor you always see the banner, even after dismissing it on the live site, so you can keep working on it.
• A button with nothing behind it — no link, or a form action with no form picked — quietly falls back to a text-only banner rather than showing visitors a dead button.
