Sample Astronomy Host society — try the public site and admin. About this demo   Go to Admin

Sample society

This is a working demo, not a live club

You are looking at Riverside Astronomical Society — fictional people, talks, and photos so you can click through a real Astronomy Host site. Hosting prices and Faraday terms live on the main Astronomy Host site; this folder is the product running.

Public site Officer admin Members portal

This is the local studio. Save and Publish work here so you can finish looks. Download Zip — No save and no publish from the workshop when the visitor copy must stay frozen.

How this demo works

1. Public pages

Each menu item uses a different theme and footer so you can see how a society can vary looks without a second website. On a phone the menu is a hamburger.

2. Officer admin

Webmaster and treasurer sign in on the same screen as members. After sign-in they land in Administration; Members portal is in the top bar because they also hold membership. User guide is in the top bar.

3. Members area

Alex Chen is a members-only login. Sam and Priya use one email each for both hats — there is no second account with the same address.

What you can click through

Programme and observing

Meeting schedule, iCal on each event, sky calendar and live sky widgets on Observing.

Gallery, blog, join

Photo layouts, blog category cards, and a published join form. Hire and tickets sit in the shop, not the public menu as Basket.

Shop and e-tickets

Sale, hire, and ticket products with a basket. Card checkout is the society’s own Stripe/PayPal on a live site. This studio can run a test checkout if keys are set; the locked visitor zip turns that off.

Door check-in

Officers open /door, pick tonight’s meeting, then scan an e-card or ticket QR with the phone camera (or type the code).

Members portal

E-card (print PNG/PDF for a 10 × 8 cm pouch), send a photo, write a post, renew from 30 days before expiry.

Officer tools

Design, Theme, Top Menu, Footer, Membership, Approvals, Users → Roles, Shop, Hosting support (tickets stay on this sample — Faraday Ops is for paid sites), Terms & policies. Officer 2FA is off on this demo so the published passwords work. Sales questions use Chat on astronomyhost.com, not Hosting support.

Sign in

One person, one email, one password. The portal never issues two logins for the same address — a webmaster who also pays subs uses this email for Administration and the members portal. Password on every demo account: demo

Webmaster (also a member)

Signs in here, opens Administration, then Members portal from the top bar.

webmaster@example.com Password: demo

Treasurer (also a member)

Committee tools, and the same login for e-card and Send a photo.

treasurer@example.com Password: demo

Member only

No Administration. E-card, profile, send a photo, write a post.

member.demo@riverside-astro.example Password: demo

Open sign-in

What not to expect here

This is not the marketing site. Hosting signup, prices, and Faraday Keynes Ltd terms are on astronomyhost.com (locally /legal on this society is the same Faraday pack). Two-factor login is off so the published passwords work. This local studio keeps saves so you can customise before you download the locked visitor zip (PHP + SQLite).

Astronomy Host sample content only — not affiliated with a real club.
