Website widgets
Pressburst website widgets provide a way to display your school’s published news stories directly on your own website.
They can help keep your website updated with the latest school news without requiring you to publish the same content separately in multiple places.
How widgets work
A Pressburst news widget retrieves published stories from your school’s Pressburst news feed and displays them within a section of your website.
Depending on your website’s design and requirements, a widget could be used to display:
- Recent school news stories.
- Story headlines and summaries.
- Featured photographs.
- Links to read the full stories.
Widgets can be particularly useful for schools that want to feature their latest news on their homepage or another prominent area of their website.
Is a widget right for your website?
A widget may be suitable if:
- You want to display Pressburst news on your existing website.
- You don’t need a fully customised integration.
- Your website supports embedding external content.
- You would prefer a simpler integration than developing directly against the Pressburst API.
Your website developer may need to make some adjustments to ensure the widget fits your website’s layout and design.
Setting up a widget
Website widgets are configured with assistance from the Pressburst team.
Rather than providing a self-service configuration tool, we work with your school or website developer to establish the most appropriate setup.
To request a widget:
- Contact Pressburst support using Live Chat.
- Tell us which school website you would like to display news on.
- Explain where you would like the widget to appear, such as your homepage or news section.
- Provide contact details for your website developer or website management company, if applicable.
We’ll discuss the available options and help you with the next steps.
Alternative integrations
Depending on how your school’s website is built, another integration may be more suitable.
