The following instructions will teach you how to embed third-party web widgets to your Vizlly website.

1. The first thing you will need to do is grab the HTML code from the provider of the widget. If you are confused about how to obtain this code, contact the vendor (if you’ve purchased a widget) or your Leonardo Success Coach.

In this example, we are going to embed a YouTube video on our website’s homepage. To grab the HTML code from a YouTube video, simply right click the video on YouTube and select ‘Copy Embed Code.’

2. Once you have the HTML code, login to Vizlly. Hover over Publisher and select Web Marketing.

3. Hover over your website and select Edit.

4. Select the website page you would like to embed the widget on. Scroll down to the Custom HTML section and select ‘Add Custom HTML.’

5. Paste the HTML code into the box and then select ‘Done.’

Note that if there is something wrong with the code or you enter it incorrectly, an error box will pop up. Make sure you have the right code.

6. Once you have entered the correct code, click Save and that’s it! You’ve embedded a widget on your Vizlly website!

This is what an embedded YouTube video looks like on the homepage of one of our customers’ websites – the Comfort Suites Alamo /River Walk:

Other customers are doing great things with their embeddable widgets. For example, check out what this Best Western did – they added a Request for Proposal Form on their site:

Please note:

• If your website malfunctions after you add the code, head back into Vizlly and delete the code. Your site should be fine once you remove the code. Once it has been deleted, contact the vendor who provided you with the code to fix the issue.
• Leonardo does not take responsibility for codes given by third-party providers.
