Microsites
A microsite is a dedicated, self-contained section within a larger website that is designed to support a specific purpose, campaign, or audience. Unlike standard site pages, microsites may operate with their own visual identity, layout, navigation structure, and content model.
Microsites are commonly used for:
Campaign or promotional hubs
Season or sport-specific content sections
Standalone landing pages
Event or recruitment-focused destinations
One-page branded experiences with targeted messaging
Although a microsite lives within the primary website, it behaves like a focused mini-site. Administrators can assign a unique microtheme, enabling the microsite to use its own colors, typography, components, and layout options.
Microsites may also contain nested structures - such as sport directories, seasonal tournaments, or individual event pages - allowing organizations to deliver custom-branded experiences without modifying the design of the main site.
Activating a Microsite
To create and activate a new microsite:
Instructions
Navigate to Admin → Setup → Edit Site → Microsites.
Enter the Microsite Name.
Select the Theme to apply.
Choose the Section that the microsite theme should be applied to.
Click Add
Once saved, the selected folder and all pages within it will inherit the assigned microtheme and function as an independent microsite within the main website.
Warning: Dependent files such as the default-decorator, header, footer, and theme.css can have major negative impact on the design and could disturb the default presentation of the microtheme design and functionality.
Microthemes
Microthemes are precompiled templates that define a microsite's overall user interface. The theme is set using the default-decorator, similar to our file site themes. Below is a list of microthemes available for activation on any microsite definition.
Maintenance Mode
Maintenance mode prevents an existing microsite from displaying on the frontend. It is designed to target client sites with past due accounts, prompting them to inquire about their active contract.
Navigate to Admin → Setup → Edit Site → Microsites.
Select the Maintenance.
