Site settings

The site icon and share image, the “Website under construction” mode, the full copy of the site, sample images, and how to rename or delete a site.

The Settings section, at the bottom of the left-hand column of your site, brings together everything that applies to the whole site: icon and share image, visibility, sample images and full copy. The site address is set in the Address section (see The site address), and its reference language in Languages. Account settings (email, display language, legal identity) are elsewhere, in Global settings.

The icon and the share image

The site icon (favicon) is the small image shown in the browser tab and in bookmarks. Choose a square, lightweight image, your logo for example. Without one, your site shows a default icon.

The default share image is shown when a page shared on social media has no share image of its own, which is set page by page in the page properties, in the studio. Without one, the site icon is used instead. Both take effect at the next publication.

Website under construction

Turn on Website under construction to show a holding page to your visitors, at every address of the site. Your content is kept and reappears as soon as you turn the mode off. Either way, the change takes effect at the next publication, so remember to publish after flipping the switch.

The full copy of the site

You can download your site as standalone HTML files: pages, images, styles, published blog posts, and a small handler for your forms. No WebAcappella server is needed to display it, so you can host it wherever you like, or simply keep it. Click Prepare the copy, then Download (.zip). Only the publishable site can be copied.

  • The shop checkout is not included: it needs our servers to work.
  • If you request a new copy shortly after the previous one, the existing archive is served; a new version is prepared no sooner than one hour later, and only if the content has changed.

Renaming or deleting a site

Both actions are done from My sites, on the site's card. Rename the site changes its internal name (not its address), and Delete the site erases pages, media and publication, after confirmation by typing the exact name of the site. This deletion is irreversible. Deleting the publishable site frees up its slot, which keeps its address and its domain name: see Publishable sites and sites on hold.

Sample images

Where a photo is missing, the copywriting and the assistant place an illustration from our image library, AI-created, until you add your own. Turn off Place sample images so that none are added to the site any more: the slots stay empty until you put your own images in them. Images already placed stay where they are; replace them whenever you like.

The choice is made as soon as the site is created, on the presentation screen, where Only my images is offered by default to an artist. A site taken over from an existing address is created without sample images.
