Update website settings

This article outlines the various website settings, which can be accessed via the Settings tab.

There are seven Settings categories:

General

  • Website name: Enter a title for your website here. This will be shown before every page title.
  • Website address: Changing your website address isn't always an option, but there are ways to do this.
  • Favicon: Upload a square image to be used as a so-called 'favicon'. This icon will be shown in your visitors' browsers next to your website name.
  • Website category: This doesn't affect the content on your website.
  • Language: Indicate your website's language from our many supported languages. Standard words and sentences on your website will be translated to the language you select.

  • Search bar: Enable this option to add a search bar, so visitors can search your website.
  • Cookie notice: Optionally set a cookie notice that your visitors will see and be required to accept.
  • Offline mode: Your website is online by default. Disable this option to take your website offline temporarily. You can add a notice to let your visitors know when you'll be back, or provide access with a password.
  • Top bar: Enable this option to add a bar to the top of your website where you can enter, for example, unique selling propositions (USPs)
