Site Settings

Site Settings is the control room for everything that applies to your whole site rather than a single page — your name and contact details, your colours and fonts, the bars and menus that frame every page, your social links, and the switches you flip when it's time to go live. It's one long form broken into collapsible sections; open a section, make your changes, and Save writes them all at once.

You'll set most of this up once at the start, then rarely touch it. Here's everything that lives there, section by section.

For use throughout your site

Your site's identity

General Settings is the starting point: your site name, site URL, timezone, and language. It’s also where search-engine visibility lives — new sites are hidden from Google by default, so this is the switch you flip when you’re ready for the world to find you (see Going Live).

Organization holds your real-world details — address, email, phone, the copyright name that signs your footer, and a land acknowledgement. These can surface in the footer and on contact-style pages.

Social Media is a single place to paste every profile link you have — Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Substack. Fill in only the ones you use; they power the social icons in your footer and copyright bar.

Look & feel

Colours sets your palette: a primary and secondary colour, light / extra-light / dark shades, and the standard status colours (success, info, warning, danger). These flow through your your edits, so picking them well here themes the whole site at once — the colour pickers throughout the editor refer back to these.

Typography chooses your body font and heading font, the base text size, and a heading scale (how much bigger headings get). A live preview shows your choices as you go.

Branding is for your images: your logo, the favicon (the little icon in the browser tab), the social-share image, aka og-image, that appears when someone posts a link to your site, and a default blog image optionally used when a post has no picture of its own.

Headers, menus & footers

Define everything that frames your pages, top to bottom:

  • Alert Bar — a dismissible announcement strip, with an optional end date.
  • Top Bar — a slim utility strip for contact info or a small button.
  • Navbar — your main menu: sticky, transparent, or full-width, with an optional button and language switcher.
  • Page Header — the page banner: title, breadcrumbs, search, and a background colour or image.
  • Sidebar — an optional column beside your content.
  • Footer — columns, navigation, a call-to-action, and the copyright bar nested inside.

Behaviour & defaults

Small switches that shape how the site works. Page Defaults decides whether new pages and blocks start hidden, and turns on the floating “Back to top” button. Blog Categories and Event Categories let you manage the topic lists your blog and events pages filter by.

Connections

Integrations wires in your Google Analytics and Tag Manager IDs once, across every page — no template editing. When enabled for your site, extra sections appear for TAPP Marketplace (paid or gated content) and Block Defaults (visitor-submission behaviour).

Going live

Going Live Checklist is your pre-launch run-through — confirm your name and contact, branding, and analytics are set, and crucially that search-engine visibility is on. Work down the list and launch with confidence.

Navigations (menus)

Menus live in their own area. In Navigations you build named menus and add items — each linking to a page or a custom URL — then drag them into order. And have a language switcher for multi-lingual sites. You then assign a menu to your navbar, footer, or top bar back in Site Settings.

Users & roles

Manage who can work on your site in Users. Add people and give each a role — owner, admin, editor, or viewer — which controls what they’re allowed to change.
