Site Settings

After deploying a site, you can fine-tune its configuration from the site settings panel.

Accessing Site Settings

Navigate to Sites from the dashboard, tap the site you want to configure, and open the Settings tab.

Branding

Customize how your site looks to visitors:

  • Site name — the display name shown in the browser tab and site header
  • Logo — upload a logo image that appears in your site's navigation
  • Brand colors — set primary and secondary colors that your template uses for buttons, links, and accents
  • Favicon — the small icon displayed in browser tabs

Branding changes are pulled from your site data automatically — no redeployment needed for color and logo updates.

Redeploying Your Site

Most content changes (creating or editing objects) are reflected on your site automatically through the Client API. However, some changes require a full redeployment:

  • Template updates
  • Structural changes to homepage sections

To trigger a redeployment:

  1. Open your site's settings panel
  2. Tap Redeploy
  3. Wait for the build to complete (typically 3-5 minutes)

The site remains accessible at its current URL during redeployment. The new version replaces the old one once the build succeeds.

Homepage Sections

You can customize the sections displayed on your site's homepage. The section editor (also available during site creation) lets you:

  • Add sections — choose from available section types
  • Remove sections — delete sections you don't need
  • Reorder sections — drag and drop to change the order

Each section type is designed to display content from your collections in a specific layout (hero banner, card grid, featured items, etc.).

Deleting a Site

If you no longer need a site:

  1. Open the site's settings panel
  2. Scroll to the Danger Zone section
  3. Tap Delete Site
  4. Confirm the deletion by typing the site name

Deleting a site is permanent. The hosted site is removed. Your collections and content are not affected — only the deployed site is deleted.

If you had a custom domain connected, it is automatically disconnected when the site is deleted. You'll need to update your DNS records to avoid pointing to a non-existent site.

Next Steps

Your site is configured and live. Explore the Integrations section to connect services like Stripe for payments or social media platforms for content distribution.
