Website

Skin your website, connect your domain, read your statistics, change backgrounds and fonts, and set up your menu.

Adding a product

Title, description, price and at least one image. A sale price shown beside the full one does more work than quietly lowering the price. Set a quantit...

Adding a script tag

Paste the code your provider gave you, whole, exactly as they gave it. It is added to every page of your site. If all you want is Google Analytics or ...

Adding Clicky

Enter your Clicky site id and we install it. Clicky shows visits as they happen rather than the next day, which is genuinely useful the week you send ...

Adding your own Google Analytics

Paste your G- measurement id here and we add the tag to every page properly. You do not need the Script Tags page for this. Google Analytics gives you...

Asking us to rebuild a site you already have

If you already have a website somewhere else, Import design asks us to rebuild it here rather than making you start again. Send us the address and we ...

Can I add a page to my website?

This feature is available to actors with a premium membership.  You can add a new custom page here. Custom pages are purely content pages that you can...

Can I preview other designs before I pay?

Of course! If you currently have a free profile, log into your control panel and visit the Website page. From there, click Designs to see all availabl...

Can I see how many people visited my website?

You can see basic analytics for your website from your Dashboard. Here you can see a graph demonstrating how many visitors your website received in th...

Changing a page address

The slug is the part of the address after your name. Change it and the page moves. Anything you have already handed out pointing at the old address st...

Choosing what the More page shows

Some designs have a More page that gathers what has no home of its own: past events, reviews, a client list, a gallery. What it contained was never so...

Deleting a page

Deleting asks you to confirm and then it is gone, along with whatever was on it. Anything linking to that address breaks, including links you have han...

Do you offer more than these three templates?

Far more than three. Five designs are free on any plan, and there are around ninety-five in total once you are a premium member. They are not a scale ...

Drafts and publishing

A post stays a draft until you make it active, so you can leave something half-finished without it appearing on your site. Nothing is published by acc...

Entering your own color

The swatches are a starting point, not a limit. Enter a hex value and you get exactly that color. Use this when you have a brand color to match, a hea...

Grouping products into categories

Categories split the shop into sections a visitor can navigate. With fewer than about eight products you do not need any, because one list is easier t...

Letting the design use its own background

No Background means the design uses whatever its author intended, which is usually the right answer and always the safe one. Every design here was mad...

Making your website visible

Your site stays private until you switch this on, which is deliberate. It gives you time to add your photos and credits without anybody arriving halfw...

Ordering and renaming your menu

Drag pages into the order you want, rename one, or take it out of the menu without deleting it. A page out of the menu still exists at its address, wh...

Pointing a button at any address

Your own link sends the button anywhere: a casting profile, a ticket page, a campaign, a film's own site. Paste the whole address including the https....

Pointing a button at one of your pages

Pick a page you already have and the button links to it, staying correct even if you rename the page later. The best call to action asks for one thing...

Pulling in a SnippedIt category as a page

If you keep material in SnippedIt, a category from it can be pulled in as a page here rather than copied across by hand. It stays connected, so what y...

Reading your top pages

Which pages people actually opened, most first. It is the most useful thing on this screen, because it tells you what visitors came for rather than wh...

The body font

This is the one that matters. Your bio, your credits and your descriptions are all set in it, and it is the only font on the site somebody reads rathe...

The country and city breakdown

Where your visitors were, by country and by city. The same caveat as the dashboard map applies: it comes from the connection, so it is approximate, an...

The heading font

The heading font is used for your name, page titles and section headings. It is the one with the most personality and the least text set in it, which ...

The icons your links are drawn with

Every social link on your site is drawn with an icon, and this is where you choose the set. They differ in weight and in shape, so pick the one that s...

The picture that shows when a page is shared

When somebody posts a link to this page, this is the image that goes with it. Get it right and a shared link looks like something worth clicking. Leav...

The SEO title and description

These are what Google prints in a search result. We write them for you from the page content and the automatic version is usually fine, so change them...

The subheading font

Subheadings sit between your headings and your body text: production names, category labels, the line under a title. Setting it to the same family as ...

Uploading an HTML file

For a standalone page that is not part of your website: a one-off landing page, a file somebody asked you for, something you were given as finished HT...

Uploading your own background

Use something large and low in contrast. A background competes with your text for attention and it should lose. Around 1920 pixels wide is enough for ...

Website: Background

The image or texture behind your pages. Leave it as No Background and the design uses whatever its author intended, which is usually the safest answer...

Website: Blog

Posts on your own site, written here. The blog itself lives on Every Single Blog, which is why you have to connect it once under Settings then Integra...

Website: Colors

Every design is built from two colors, and this is where you set them. The primary color carries your buttons, your links and most of the accents; the...

Website: CSS Editor

Your own CSS, loaded after the design's, so anything you write here wins. This is the right place for a small correction: a heading you want tighter, ...

Website: CTAs

The call-to-action buttons your design shows, usually near the top of the page and in the footer. Point one at a page you already have, or at any addr...

The design decides everything about how your website looks, and switching is safe: your photos, credits and text stay exactly where they are, and only...

Website: Design, Colors and Background

These were one screen once and are three tabs now. Design is where you pick the design itself and preview it against your own content. Colors sets the...

Website: Fonts

Three typefaces, and they do different jobs. The heading font is seen first and can have character. The subheading font sits underneath it and should ...

Website: Pages

Which pages your website has, what the menu calls them, and how they read on Google and when somebody shares a link. Drag pages into the order you wan...

Website: Script Tags

Third-party snippets: analytics, an advertising pixel, a chat widget. Paste the code your provider gave you and it is added to every page of your site...

What counts as a unique visitor

One person, over the fourteen days shown, however many pages they looked at. Somebody who comes back tomorrow counts once tomorrow as well. It is work...

What your primary color does

The primary color carries your buttons, your links and most of the accents. Change it and the whole site follows, which is why it is worth choosing he...

Where your orders arrive

Orders land on the Orders tab and you get an email. Fulfilling them is on you: we take no cut, hold no stock and ship nothing. That is the trade, and ...

Where your secondary color is used

The secondary color sits behind headings, dividers and the quieter parts of the design. It is doing supporting work, so it wants to be closer to your ...

Where your traffic came from

The sites that sent people to you. Direct means they typed the address or clicked a link that carried no referrer, which includes most links in emails...

Why a new script waits for review

A new script tag is held until we have looked at it, usually within a day. That is not us being precious. A script tag can read everything on the page...

Why the blog needs connecting first

The blog itself lives on Every Single Blog, so this page does nothing until you have connected an account under Settings then Integrations. That is a ...

Writing a post

A title, the body, an image with a caption, a video link if you have one, and tags. Write about the work rather than about yourself. A post about how ...

Your CSS is loaded after the design's, so anything you write here wins. This is the right place for a small correction: a heading you want tighter, a ...

Your website's favicon

The favicon is the small icon in a browser tab and on a phone's home screen. You have three options. Follow my design uses whatever the design provide...

Your website's preloader

The preloader is the short animation shown while your page is still loading. Pick one from the list and Show me plays it full size so you can see it p...
