Live demo

# Walk around a shul that runs on it

Beth Knesset is our demo congregation: a complete website connected to a real portal. Every prayer time, event, holiday, sponsorship price and menu tab on it was set in the portal. Nobody edited a web page. Open it, click around, and try paying with a test card.

No signup, no sales call. Nothing on the demo charges a real card.

## Eight stops, about five minutes

Each card opens that page of the demo in a new tab. Under each one: what to look at, and what to try.

Stop 1 · Home

### Their look, not ours

Emerald, gold, their logo and their words. Nothing on the site mentions Shul Services.

**Try:** open the Schedule dropdown. The menu was arranged by dragging tabs in the portal.

Stop 2 · Schedule

### Prayer times and classes

Weekday, Friday and Shabbat services, then the week's classes and shiurim.

**Look for:** candle lighting. A time can follow the sun and update itself every week.

Stop 3 · Events

### Events with tickets

Each event was created in the portal with a flyer and prices. It went live the moment it was saved.

**Try:** Reserve / Buy tickets, or Add to calendar. Each event also has its own shareable link.

Stop 4 · Holidays

### The yom tov page

Holiday events are ordinary events with one box ticked, so they show here instead of under Events.

**Look for:** the seder's ticket button. Holidays sell seats the same way.

Stop 5 · Calendar

### Sponsor a kiddush

Open dates are worked out live. Hebrew dates, the parasha, holidays and classes are on every day.

**Try:** pick a Shabbat, a kiddush level and an occasion, then pay with the test card below. That date is then taken for everyone.

Stop 6 · Donate & Pay

### Give, or pay a pledge

Donate, pay outstanding pledges or ask for an invoice. Every payment lands on the right account in the office's ledger.

**Try:** donate with your own email and the test card. The receipt you get is the one their members get.

Stop 7 · Lobby TV

### The screen in the lobby

Hebrew date, parasha, clock, prayer times, events and announcements, rotating on their own.

**Try:** make the window full screen and leave it for a minute.

### Where most visitors are

**Try:** open the demo on your phone and sponsor something from there.

Use your own email address if you want to see the receipt. The demo is shared, so other visitors' test bookings may already be on the calendar.

Your payment lands in the portal's ledger, attached to a contact if your email matches one, or ready to attach in one click if not.

## Behind every page is a tab in the portal

This is what Beth Knesset's office touches to change what you just saw. None of it needs us, a developer or a web designer.
