Editing Instant Site content (legacy version)

You can personalize your Instant Site to reflect your brand and present your business to customers from the best angle using the customizable content blocks. You can use all the sections provided, or combine those that work for you and hide the others. You can also arrange the sections differently to show them in the desired order. You can change the text on your Instant Site to match it with your business. To edit your Instant Site content blocks go to your store admin in Website and click the Edit button.

Website address and store name

To edit the address and name of your site, go to your store admin in Website → Edit Site → Address Settings → Website address and click the Edit button: click on the very first block in the side menu. Here you can link your Instant Site to a free subdomain provided by our platform, in case you don't have your own domain yet. Enter the name you prefer for your web address to the text field:

If you have your own domain, click Set up a domain name to use it as your web address.

In this section you can also enter the name of your store that will be displayed on the store pages, invoices and in email notifications.

Headline and Cover Image

To change the headline and cover image, go from your store admin to Website → Edit → Headline & Cover. There you can enter the text that will appear in the first tile of your Instant Site:

The Headline represents your brand and is the first thing your customers see when they open your Instant Site. Here you can use the name of your store, add a slogan, or a greeting.

In the Description field, you can enter brief information about your store, as well as list your special offers, announce some promo events, or share the promo codes. Although the field is optional, we recommend filling it out for better SEO rankings. The text that you enter here will be used for the site’s meta description tag, therefore you can improve your Instant Site SEO if you use in the description some keywords relevant for your business niche.

In this section, you can also customize the look of the first tile of your Instant Site. For example, change the font, its size, and color for the Headline and Description texts, as well as choose their position in the cover.  Check our guide on configuring Instant Site design for the instructions on changing the look-n-feel of your Instant Site cover and top menu.
