Control Where Visitors Go Next
This section exists to give you control. Control over where visitors go, what they see next, and how they connect with you. The external links and contact form are not decorative features. They are directional tools that guide attention and filter intent.
External Partner Links That Work for You
The links section can display up to four external destinations. These are managed entirely from the back end and can be activated or deactivated at any time. The primary purpose is simple – connect your site to your presence inside the wider drumming ecosystem.
When a visitor clicks your posts or videos link, they are taken to your content area inside the drumming community. If they are not logged in, they must register or sign in first. This protects your content and ensures that engagement comes from real users, not casual browsers.
You decide when these links are live. You can activate them first and add content later, or build content quietly and switch them on when you are ready. Either way, the system works around your pace.
Built-In Protection Without Complexity
Access to the back end is protected. Only genuine users who register can view and interact with these areas. This keeps the environment clean and prevents misuse, while still allowing growth as the platform develops.
The community itself is evolving. Depending on when someone views your site, activity levels may vary. That is expected. What matters is that your foundation is in place.
The Contact Page Is Your Direct Line
The contact form sends messages directly to the email address you define. Every field is editable from the back end. There is no routing, no middle layer, and no delays. When someone reaches out, it comes straight to you.
This page exists for intent. Questions, opportunities, and serious inquiries land where they should, without friction.
Why This Matters
These features are not about volume. They are about alignment. You decide what is visible, when it is visible, and who can engage. That is how a professional system operates.
In the next video, the focus moves to the application process. This is where the foundational information for your site is defined and where control shifts fully into your hands.
