Settings

Configure your website: name, logo, SEO, email, domain, languages, integrations and more. Editors only see the tabs for which they have been granted permissions.

General

Here you set the basic details of your website: • Site name – Your website's name • Logo – The logo shown in the header • Favicon – The small icon in the browser tab • Footer – Link to the footer editor to customise the text at the bottom of every page This tab also contains the PWA settings (Progressive Web App) and the 'Back to top' button configuration.
Tips
  • Upload your logo as PNG or SVG with transparent background for the best result.
  • The favicon should be a square image, preferably 32x32 or 64x64 pixels.

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)

SEO settings help your website rank better in Google: • Default title – The title shown in search results • Default description – The text below the title in search results • OG Image – The image shown when your website is shared on social media • Google Analytics ID – Connect Google Analytics to track visitor statistics • Automatic sitemap – Let the CMS automatically generate a sitemap for search engines
Tips
  • Keep the title under 60 characters and the description under 160 characters.
  • The OG Image should be at least 1200x630 pixels for the best display on social media.

Email (SMTP)

The email tab has three sections: • Notifications – Set which email address receives alerts for new contact form submissions. Configure the SMTP server, port (587/TLS or 465/SSL), username, password, sender name and sender email. • Sender – Configure a verified sender address for outgoing emails (e.g. newsletters, confirmations). • Email hosting – Connect your own email domain so you can use professional email addresses (e.g. info@yourdomain.com).
Note
  • Keep your SMTP password safe. It is stored encrypted.

Domain
