Love the website you have? Keep it.

A chamber website comes free with the CRM, and most chambers take it. But some of you have a site you are proud of, that a local designer built, that took a board vote to get right. You should not have to throw that away to run your chamber on Chamber Culture. Shareables put your live members, events and news onto the site you already have.

Not a screenshot

Everything below this line is a Shareable.

This is a real one, running on this page right now, showing real businesses from our demo chamber. It is the same two lines of code you would paste into your own site, pulling live from the CRM. Resize your browser and watch it fit.

If your directory changes in the CRM tomorrow morning, this changes with it. Nobody has to update the website.

Six of them

Your chamber, in pieces you can place anywhere.

Use one, use all six. Put the directory on its own page, upcoming events in the sidebar of your homepage, the job board wherever it fits.

Member directory

Every active member, with their logo, category and town, linking through to a full profile.

Events calendar

What is coming up, with date, time and venue, straight through to registration.

Member news

Announcements from your businesses, credited to the business that made them.

Job board

Open roles at member businesses, so your site becomes where the town looks for work.

Member deals

The offers your members extend to each other and to the community.

Marketspace

Equipment, space and services your membership is offering right now.

Two lines

If you can paste, you can do this.

No plugin to install, no developer to book, no account for your web person to be given. It works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Weebly or a site somebody hand-built for you in 2014.

1. Pick what to show

In the CRM, open Settings and then Shareables. Choose the directory, your events, your news, whatever you want on the page.

2. Copy the two lines

We generate them for your chamber. There is a copy button; you never type anything.

3. Paste them into your page

Anywhere you can add content. Save, and your chamber is on your website, updating itself from then on.

<div data-cc-embed="events" data-tenant="your-chamber" data-heading="Upcoming Events"></div>
<script src="https://crm.chamberculture.com/embed.js" async></script>
The part everyone gets wrong

It looks like your website, not like ours.

It borrows your styling

Shareables pick up the typeface and link colour of the page they land on, so your members section looks like it was always part of your site. If your colours would make the text hard to read, it quietly uses a safe one instead.

It fits the space you give it

Drop it in a narrow sidebar and it becomes a single column. Drop it in a full-width page and it spreads into three. It measures the space it is actually in, not the size of the visitor's screen, so it is right in both places on the same page.

It is not one of those boxes in a box

Most tools hand you an iframe: a fixed-height window with its own scrollbar that never quite matches the page. This is not that. It becomes part of your page, and it cannot break the rest of your site.

To be straight with you

We would still rather build you a website.

It is included free with the CRM, it is fast, it is built for chambers, and it means one place to keep things up to date instead of two. For most chambers that is the better answer, and it is what we will recommend.

But “replace your website” is a big ask for a board, and it is a terrible reason to lose out on a CRM that would serve you well. So if you have a site you like, keep it. Shareables mean you still get the members, the events, the news, the job board and the deals, on the site you already have. And if you ever change your mind, your website is still sitting there, included, waiting.

Questions

The things chambers ask us

Do I need a developer?

No. If you can add a paragraph to a page on your website, you can add a Shareable. It is two lines you copy from the CRM and paste in.

Will it slow my site down?

No. It loads after your page has finished, so your site appears exactly as fast as it does today. If our server were ever unreachable, the space is simply left empty and nothing on your page breaks.

Does it work with WordPress, Squarespace or Wix?

Yes, and with anything else that lets you add content to a page. There is no plugin to install and nothing to keep updated.

Will it match my colours and fonts?

It takes them from your page automatically. If you would rather set the accent colour yourself, you can.

What happens when I add a member or an event?

It appears on your website. You manage everything in the CRM as normal and your site keeps itself current, which is the whole point.

Is this instead of the free website, or as well as?

Either. The website is included whether or not you use it. Shareables exist so that keeping your own site does not cost you anything from the CRM.

Keep your website. Add your chamber to it.
