General Settings Configuration
The General tab contains the most fundamental settings for your website. Here's how to configure each field:
Website Name
Enter your website's primary name (e.g., "BlsvarUP"). This appears in the browser title bar and is used for SEO purposes. Keep it concise and memorable.
Best Practice: Use your business name or a combination of your name and location (e.g., "John Smith Real Estate" or "Downtown Realty").
Site Title
This is a more descriptive title that often appears in search results and browser tabs (e.g., "BlsvarUP"). It can be the same as your website name or include additional keywords.
Note: The site title is appended to all page titles, so keep it under 60 characters for optimal SEO.
Company Name
Enter your official business name that will be used in copyright notices and legal information. This should match your business registration.
Copyright Message
Customize the copyright text that appears in your website footer. The default "All rights reserved" can be modified to include additional legal language if needed.
Preview: You can see how your copyright message will appear at the bottom of the settings page.
Logo Management
Your website logos are crucial for brand recognition and should be configured carefully:
Header Logo
Upload your primary logo that will appear in the website header. This logo should be optimized for web use and represent your brand clearly.
- Recommended size: 200-300px wide, 50-100px tall
- Format: PNG or SVG for best quality
- Background: Transparent or white background works best
Footer Logo
Upload a logo for the website footer. This can be the same as your header logo or a variation designed for the footer area.
- Purpose: Reinforces brand presence at the bottom of pages
- Size: Can be smaller than header logo
- Style: Often uses white or light colors for dark footers
Logo Upload Tips
- Keep file sizes under 500KB for faster loading
- Use high-resolution images that scale well
- Test how your logo looks on both light and dark backgrounds
- Consider creating different versions for header and footer if needed
