Top Tips to Get the Most from Your Community Access TV’s Website

Showcase Channels

For website visitors to know where to view your programming, they need to be able to find it. Putting the channels your program is aired on the homepage will make it easier for website viewers to convert into program viewers. A great idea is to showcase live and on-demand watching options high up on the homepage so that no scrolling is needed to find that important information.

Viewing Schedule

With many programs focused on varying topics, your Community Access TV station has something for everyone to view. Make it easier for website visitors to find a program they will enjoy by making the airing schedule accessible and easy to find. A suggestion we have is to put the schedule into the main navigation bar so that users can find it from any page on the website without having to scroll to find it. If a user can find your schedule, they’re more likely to become a viewer.

Integrate Live Streaming

Having a live stream of your programs on your website takes out a step in the process of converting a website visitor into a program viewer. If you can embed live streams on your website, the user won’t have to take any extra steps to watch. Another ideas of streams to embed on your website are live town views. Is there a popular dog park or beach in your town? Consider setting up a live stream of those attractions so that community members can see how busy they are and plan a trip to enjoy the community!

FAQS About Community Access TV Websites

What can I use to build my community access TV website?

WordPress is suggested by our team of experienced web designers. WordPress, in contrast to other website building platforms, allows customization on the backend to assist in producing an eye-catching website for your community members. To ensure that your website always displays up-to-date content, you can connect your streaming or on-demand content to automatically populate on the website upon publication. View some of the top WordPress built Community Access TV websites we’ve created as examples.

How can I get more engagement on my website?

A great way to get more engagement on your website is to allow website visitors to sign up for a newsletter. An e-newsletter is a great way to keep interested community members up-to-date with your program schedule, any community events, and opportunities to get involved. We recommend adding a newsletter signup on your website. The best areas we have found to put this on your website is linking from your website’s header or primary navigation menu.

What are some tips for a well-designed website?

A well-designed website is one that can easily meet the needs of your website visitors and your organization. Plan your website layout based on what your website users will be looking for the most. For a community access TV website, that would mean prioritizing ease of finding the program schedule, live programming, on-demand content, and community resources. While you want visitors on your website, you don’t want them to be on the website longer than they need to be! The sooner they can find what they need, the more satisfied they will be with their experience on your website. Read more tips on building your community access TV website!

How can I increase community involvement through my website?

A great way to increase community involvement through your community access tv website is to showcase your community offerings. Many community access TV stations offer learning opportunities for video production and other similar courses. Put this content onto a calendar, but also find an area to showcase these learning seminars so that community members know what they can learn from you! You can also include volunteer opportunities within your announcement banner and create a “Get Involved” page for all upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.

What makes a good community access TV website?

A good community access TV website is one that provides a positive user experience. We recommend optimizing your navigation options with clear and intuitive organization to create ease for your website visitors. As previously mentioned, you can prioritize homepage content based on what you want viewers to see before scrolling. A good community access TV website showcases all programing, live and on-demand so that community members can plan out their viewing.
