First week
After Brand Kit: four steps to reach members on boards, social, and a simple website
Brand Kit first
Your Brand Kit is step 0. Every graphic, board notice, and site template uses these colours, logo, and links. Set your union preset, local number, colours, and logo before the rest of the roadmap.
- Choose your union preset (or Other to set colours yourself)
- Set local number and sub-text
- Confirm colours, then choose or upload your logo
- Optional: export a circular local logo from Logo Builder
Union boards
Post a high-contrast notice on workplace bulletin boards. Members who are not on social still need to see meeting times and updates.
- Choose a notice type and fill in date, time, and location
- Print letter or tabloid size
- Post in approved union board locations
A website
Give members one link for contact info, officers, and about your local. Download a ready-made template and host it free on GitHub Pages.
- Fill in about text, officers, and contact email
- Preview and download the site ZIP
- Follow the deploy guide to publish
