Website & App Content

🌐 Creating & Editing Web Pages

Any client can create custom web pages and add information, links, and images. You can also edit pages from previous years. Pages go live immediately when saved and are accessible via a URL based on your domain.

1. 1
   Go to App and Web Content in the Web Manager

   parade.velocitywebworks.com/manage/pages

2. 2
   Click Create to make a new page, or click an existing page's blue link to edit it
3. 3
   Use the text editor to build your content

   You can add: regular paragraphs, headers (under Format), lists, links to any URL or PDF, uploaded images, and custom HTML code (under Tools → Source Code).

4. 4
   Save — the page goes live immediately

   To view your page, copy the URL shown after saving and open it in a browser.

☰ App Menu Management

You can add, reorder, and deactivate links in your parade app's menu. This controls what attendees see when they tap the app menu.

1. 1
   Go to Advanced → Parade Menu Items

   parade.velocitywebworks.com/manage/menu

2. 2
   Drag and drop items to reorder them

   The order in the list reflects the order items appear in the app menu.

3. 3
   Check the access labels

   Blue "app" items are visible to all app users. Red "admin" items are hidden in the admin section — visible only to logged-in builders and staff, not to the general public.

To add a menu item

1. 1
   Click Create
2. 2
   Enter the label (the text shown in the menu) and the hyperlink it should open
3. 3
   Set the Venue

   Choose Mobile App to show the link to all app users, or Admin to hide it in the admin section (only visible when logged in). We don't currently recommend using the Website venue — contact us for guidance on that.

4. 4
   Save

To remove or deactivate a menu item

Click the name of the menu item you want to remove. Uncheck the Active box. Save. The item will no longer appear in the app.

🎥 Virtual Tours

Virtual tours extend your parade's reach beyond event day — letting attendees who couldn't see every home (or missed the event entirely) tour homes online, typically available through the end of the year.

📱 App Splash Screen Specs

The splash screen is the full-screen image that appears briefly when the app loads. It needs to scale correctly across a wide range of iPhone and Android screen sizes, so the source file must be very large.

The large 2732px dimension ensures the image can scale and crop correctly across all screen sizes. Keep your logo and important content within the centered 1200px safe zone so it's never cut off on any device.

🎨 App Icon Specs

The app icon appears on attendees' phone home screens and in the App Store / Google Play listing. It must be legible and recognizable at very small sizes.

Design tips

• ✅Keep key elements centered — the icon is displayed very small on home screens and search results
• ✅Use bold, high-contrast visuals that look clean against both light and dark backgrounds
• ❌Avoid small text — it will be unreadable at icon sizes
• ❌Do not round the corners yourself — the App Store and Google Play apply their own consistent rounding
