Connect Center (Web Kiosk) Customization
What is the Connect Center (Web Kiosk)?
The Connect Center, also referred to as the Web Kiosk, is the web-based interface churches use to allow congregants to:
Sign in for prayer or fasting
Submit prayer requests or testimonies
View announcements
Access other engagement tools provided by SteepleMate
What customization options are available for the Connect Center (Web Kiosk)?
There are two levels of customization available for the Connect Center:
1. Base Customization (Included with both Free and Pro Subscriptions) - allows churches to change the color theme of the Connect Center. Available color themes: blue, green, red, gold, silver, purple. These color themes also include the header/banner area.
2. Artwork Customization Add-On (Optional - $99 One-Time Fee) - allows churches to rebrand the Connect Center to match their organizations branding. Upload your own artwork, images, and graphics and replace the default SteepleMate header with custom artwork.
*Note: without this add-on, fonts and design buttons cannot be changed and button placement on the web-based Connect Center cannot be changed. Button placement can only be changed on on-site kiosks.
Without Add-Ons, Churches Cannot:
1. Change Fonts
2. Change Button Designs
3. Change Button Placement
4. Upload Custom Images or Artwork
