Prospectus Plus can be embedded into another website using an iframe. This is useful when you want to include your prospectus within an existing page on your main website, rather than sending visitors to a separate Prospectus Plus URL.

When embedding Prospectus Plus, we recommend using the "hide_masthead=true" URL parameter. This removes the Prospectus Plus masthead and footer from the embedded version, helping the prospectus feel much more like a native part of your website.

Why hide the masthead?

The masthead is the top section of Prospectus Plus that usually contains elements such as the logo and main navigation.

When Prospectus Plus is embedded inside another website, that website will normally already have its own masthead, logo and navigation. If both are shown at the same time, visitors may see two sets of navigation, which can make the experience feel less joined-up.

By hiding the Prospectus Plus masthead, the embedded prospectus sits more cleanly within the page. It feels less like a website inside another website, and more like a standard page within your existing site.

How to hide the masthead and footer

To hide the Prospectus Plus masthead and footer, add the following URL parameter to the end of your Prospectus Plus URL:

?hide_masthead=true

For example:

<iframe 
  src="https://your-prospectus-plus-url.com?hide_masthead=true"
  width="100%"
  height="800"
  style="border: 0;"></iframe>

What this does

Adding "?hide_masthead=true" will:

remove the Prospectus Plus masthead from the embedded view
remove the Prospectus Plus footer
create a cleaner embedded experience
help the prospectus feel more integrated with the surrounding website

Although the parameter is called "hide_masthead", it also hides the footer. This is intentional and helps create a simpler, more seamless embedded version of the prospectus.

When should I use this?

We recommend using this parameter whenever Prospectus Plus is being embedded into another website, especially if the page already includes:

your institution’s logo
main website navigation
a header or masthead
a footer

This avoids duplication and gives visitors a clearer experience.

Example iframe embed

<iframe
  src="https://your-prospectus-plus-url.com?hide_masthead=true"
  width="100%"
  height="900"
  style="border: none; width: 100%;"
  title="Prospectus Plus"></iframe>

You may need to adjust the height depending on the layout of your page and how much content you want visible without scrolling.

Best practice

For the cleanest result, embed Prospectus Plus on a page that already includes your website’s standard header and footer, then use "?hide_masthead=true" on the Prospectus Plus URL.

This gives users a smoother experience and helps the prospectus feel like a natural part of your website.
