FAQs

For Keyholders

Can I choose what info to display?

Yes. There are two ways in which Client sites can ‘slice’ the available information:

  1. You can select certain bands of info, eg Entertainment, Activities and Attractions (but, for example, choose not to display #SupportLocal or Profiles of local Artists). Within those bands you can also be more specific, e.g. just Visual Arts.
  2. You can select a specific radius from any given point on the map, and only show posts that are relevant to that geographic area.

How will the information display on my site?

What’s On Section
The ‘What’s On’ on your menu bar will show a drop down of options, depending on the bands of information you have chosen. Clicking on any one of those will take them through to a list of relevant posts, each with a thumbnail image. Clicking on any of the titles will take them through to that particular post.

Individual Posts
Each Client site ‘reads’ the information and displays it according to that site’s own theme layout, eg font type, font size, image size, image placement, background colour etc.

Essentially it looks like the rest of the site, the only difference being that the info itself can only be changed by the API Admin Team or by the User who has posted it.
Should the individual Client site have a Comments section for its posts, then comments left on that Client site will only be seen on that Client site.

If I don’t like a post, or don’t agree with its voice / content / message, is there a way to curate what is displayed on my site?

As a Client site you will not be able to select the content on a post by post basis but only by category and by geographic area. If you would like to flag a post for any reason you can contact us directly and we’ll review the post.

Will I be exposing my site to unwanted adverts?

No. The hub will only stream posts relevant to the Arts & Tourism industries, all of which will conform to the set house style of being informative but with no ‘hard sell’.

Can I set up a Keyholder site that ONLY draws info from the API?

Certainly! The NATI Hub is designed to assist ‘pocket entrepreneurs’ who want to promote local Arts & Culture in their area. You can also add your own content, and run your own social media to give more promotion to any advertisers you may have on your site or app.

Can I be a Promoter AND a Keyholder?

Yes, certainly. Just sign up under both options.

Is there a cost involved to be a Keyholder?

Yes, there is a small cost involved, which goes towards funding our training programme for young people to hone their skills in writing, the Arts, PR, branding, digital media etc, so that we can do more to promote Arts & Tourism in South Africa.
You may however apply for exemption to this fee by contacting yusuf@natihub.co.za
