Individual Bio - Display Options

[mccoypta1]

We are looking to display our PTA Board Member bios (https://mccoypta.org > Our PTA > Board - Names & Faces) - There is currently not a layout/format that is really feasible for this.  I have a placeholder layout in there currently that I was playing around with, but with almost 30 individuals, it seems this page would end up being really long.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a better way we can lay this out?  We will need to include a head shot of the individual, a line for their title, and then a text box section for their short bio (3-4 sentences long, if that) - Similar to what I have in there currently.

We have almost 30 individuals we would want displayed - We don't need huge sections, but we also don't need the page to be never-ending scrolling down to the last individual on the page. 

Does anyone have any recommendations as to which page and layout I can best display these or should I just keep going with how I have it laid out?

Thank you in advance!

Could you break up the page into sections or groups? Like, administration, faculty, parents, etc? I don't know if that makes sense or if you would be able to group individuals this way, but I can create a hidden test page in your account (with your permission) of an example of what I'm thinking. There's an app in the App Center called Team Cards that might work for you. https://www.weebly.com/app-center/team-cards?ref=ac-search

@Bernadette  Thanks so much for your prompt reply. Yes, you have my permission to test a hidden page - Please let me know once complete so I can check it out! I so appreciate it!

Ugh, this is so overdue @mccoypta. I'm really sorry for my delay. It's been a bit busy!!

Did you completely change your site, @mccoypta... It looks like you are using the new editor now.. 

By the way, that's incredibly impressive!!

@Bernadette 

Based on when I took over handling the site, this has always been the editor we have used. It seems pretty bare bones, but I think at least for this year, we are going to stay on the free site as I become more familiar with the platform, but may look into paid options for the future.

I know you mentioned the "Team Cards" app, but when I click "Add", it says that we do not have a site that supports Apps.  I think you had mentioned another App in one of my other posts as well, but I thought from what I had researched, the editor we use does not allow app integration, but I may be wrong. 

That app you sent me looks really interesting and I think would be perfect for what we want this page to do - How can I add this app or what plan would we need to upgrade to in order to be able to incorporate apps? 

Also - I take it you are not able to create the hidden page you mentioned due to this.  

And thank you! It's so nice to hear that - We have worked hard to get this to where we want it to be since we switched to Weebly/Square from the Wix site we had over the past few years. I think it looks so much better. Definitely still a work in progress, but getting there!

Thanks again!

Ahhhh I know what I did. I opened up the website and at first glance it looked like our CleanLines theme. That's why I assumed that you were using the older editor. 

Buuuuttt... I'm sure there's a third party site that will allow you to create something similar and then you can use the Embed Code section to add the html code.

Hi @mccoypta I apologize for my mistake. I don't know why I thought you were using the older editor when you first wrote in. Perhaps my software was cached and a different users' account was showing? Long story short, when we log into accounts we can see right away (by a colored banner) what editor a person is using. Unfortunately, all of the information I previously provided; Team Cards app, create hidden page, etc wouldn't even apply to your editor. :'( :'( I'm really sorry about that!
