Website Explained

Understand how your Sprocket website works, how content connects across your system and mobile app, and how to manage pages, data, and settings effectively.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Your Sprocket website is not a separate tool. It is a native extension of your Sprocket system.

Unlike traditional websites that require you to update content in multiple places, Sprocket’s website and mobile app are powered by the same data inside your account.

That means:

  • Programs added in Sprocket automatically power your website registrations.

  • Staff added to the system can display instantly on your website.

  • Calendar events update across both website and mobile app.

  • Team and roster information sync between website and app.

  • Documents uploaded once can be shared everywhere.

You are not managing a separate website platform.

You are managing one unified system.

This reduces duplicate work, eliminates data inconsistencies, and ensures your website and mobile app always stay aligned.

If you update something inside Sprocket, it can automatically update on:

  • Your website

  • Your mobile app

  • Logged-in user dashboards

This “single source of truth” is one of Sprocket’s core advantages.


How Your Website Works

Your website operates on three layers:

  1. System Data (Programs, Staff, Calendar, Teams)

  2. Pages & Content Layout

  3. Branding & SEO Settings

Understanding these layers makes everything easier.


1. System Data (The Engine)

Most website content pulls from other areas of your Sprocket account.

For example:

Programs → Power Open Registrations
Staff → Power Staff List
Calendar → Powers Calendar Content
Articles → Power Article List
Document Library → Powers Document List
Facilities → Power Practice Facilities

This means:

If something isn’t showing on your website, the first place to check is the original system section where that information lives.

Your website does not store duplicate data.
It displays live data from your account.

That same data also powers your mobile app experience.


2. Pages & Content Layout (The Structure)

Pages are the structure of your website.

Common pages include:

  • Home

  • Programs or Register

  • Teams

  • About Us

  • Contact

  • Resources

You manage pages under:

Website & App → Pages

Each page is built using Content Options.

Content Options are building blocks that tell the page what to display.

Examples:

  • Banner

  • Open Registrations

  • Staff List

  • Testimonials

  • Image Carousel

  • Video Feed

  • FAQ

  • Document List

You are not manually coding content.
You are assembling dynamic blocks that connect to your system data.

Navigation determines how users move between pages.

Website & App → Navigation

Think of it this way:

System Data = the engine
Pages = the structure
Navigation = the pathways


3. Branding & SEO Settings (The Controls)

Your website’s appearance and search visibility are controlled by settings.

These include:

  • Logo and colors

  • Banner styles

  • Page layout width

  • Meta-Titles

  • Meta-Descriptions

  • Page URLs

You manage these under:

  • Club → Settings

  • Website → Pages → Setup → SEO

These settings control how your site looks and how it appears in search engines.


Public vs Logged-In Experience

Your website supports two different experiences.

Public View

Visible to anyone.

Used for:

  • Marketing

  • Registration

  • Information sharing

  • Recruiting

Logged-In View

Visible only to members.

Used for:

  • Team schedules

  • Rosters

  • Internal documents

  • Member-specific content

Both views are powered by the same system data.


Why This Matters

Because your website is native to Sprocket:

You do not need to:

  • Update information in multiple systems

  • Manually duplicate program details

  • Re-enter staff information

  • Maintain a separate registration site

Everything connects.

When used correctly, your website becomes:

  • Easier to maintain

  • More accurate

  • Faster to update

  • Fully synchronized with your mobile app


Common Website Questions

Why isn’t my content showing?

Check:

  • Has it been added in its original system location?

  • Is it marked open or visible?

  • Has the correct Content Option been added to the page?


Why isn’t my registration appearing?

Confirm:

  • The program is open.

  • It does not require invitation.

  • The Open Registrations content block is added.


Why does something look different on mobile?

Remember:

  • The mobile app pulls from the same data.

  • Page layout settings can affect display.

  • Certain content types behave differently in 100% width layouts.


Where Should I Start?

If you are new to building your website:

Start with:

  • Creating core pages

  • Adding a homepage banner

  • Making registration easy to find

  • Configuring navigation

  • Setting basic SEO

Then refine design and content over time.
