Sites

Sites are the publishing destinations for your content. Each site has its own domain, theme, navigation, and content pool. Managing sites is how you control what appears at each URL.

Sites

A Site is a publishing destination — a domain or subdomain where content from Foundaro Front is delivered to visitors. You can manage one site or many. Each site is independently configured with its own domain, theme, navigation menus, URL redirects, and content assignments.

Site List

The main Sites view shows all sites in your workspace. Each entry shows:

  • Name: The site display name used in Foundaro Front.
  • Slug: The internal identifier used in URLs.
  • Domain: The primary domain for public access.
  • Theme: Which theme is applied to the site.
  • Status: Active or Inactive.
  • Content count: Number of content items assigned to this site.

Creating Sites

Click New Site to create a new site.

Required fields:

  • Name: The display name for the site.
  • Slug: The URL-safe identifier (auto-generated from name, editable).

Optional fields at creation:

  • Domain: The custom domain for the site. Can be added later.
  • Theme: The visual theme applied to the site. Can be changed at any time.
  • Description: Internal description for reference.

Settings Tab

The Settings tab contains the primary configuration for a site.

Key fields:

  • Name: The site display name.
  • Slug: The URL identifier. Changing this will break existing bookmarks and inbound links.
  • Description: Internal description. Not shown publicly.
  • Status: Active sites are publicly accessible. Inactive sites return a maintenance page or 404.
  • Default language: The primary language for this site (used in HTML lang attribute and sitemap).
  • Timezone: Used for scheduling and display of date fields.
  • Theme: The visual theme applied to all public pages.
  • Logo: Shown in the site header (if the theme supports it).
  • Favicon: The browser tab icon.
  • Analytics code: Paste your Google Analytics, Plausible, or other tracking snippet.
  • Custom head HTML: Injected into the <head> of every page. Use for custom scripts or meta tags.
  • Custom body HTML: Injected before the closing </body> tag.

Domains Tab

The Domains tab manages the domain names associated with a site.

Key fields per domain:

  • Domain: The full hostname (e.g. www.example.com).
  • Primary: One domain must be marked as primary — this is the canonical domain.
  • SSL status: Shows whether HTTPS is active and the certificate is valid.
  • Redirect non-primary: Toggle to redirect all non-primary domains to the primary domain.

Adding a domain:

  1. Enter the domain name and click Add Domain.
  2. Point the domain's DNS A record (or CNAME for subdomains) to the server IP shown in the Domains tab.
  3. SSL provisioning is automatic once DNS propagates (usually within minutes).

Tips:

  • Always mark one domain as primary to ensure proper canonical URLs.
  • Use the redirect option to avoid duplicate-content SEO penalties from www vs non-www.

The Menus tab lets you build and manage navigation menus for the site. Menus are referenced by the theme and rendered as navigation on the public site.

Key fields per menu:

  • Name: The menu identifier (e.g. main-nav, footer).
  • Items: An ordered list of links. Each item has a label, a URL or internal content reference, and an optional submenu.

Adding menu items:

  • Link to internal content: Select a Page, Blog, or other content item from the site.
  • Link to external URL: Enter a full URL.
  • Link to a custom path: Enter any path relative to the site root.

Tips:

  • Keep the main navigation under 7 items for usability.
  • Use descriptive labels — visitors scan menus quickly.
  • Test menu changes in preview before publishing.

Redirects Tab

The Redirects tab manages URL redirects for the site. Use redirects when you change a URL structure and want to preserve inbound links and SEO value.

Key fields per redirect:

  • From: The original URL path (e.g. /old-page).
  • To: The destination URL path or full URL.
  • Type: 301 (permanent) or 302 (temporary).

Tips:

  • Use 301 for permanent moves — this transfers SEO value.
  • Use 302 for temporary campaigns or A/B tests.
  • Add redirects before publishing URL changes to avoid 404 errors.
  • Test redirects after adding them to confirm they work as expected.

Content Tab

The Content tab shows all content items assigned to this site. From here you can:

  • See the full inventory of pages, blogs, posts, news, and events belonging to the site.
  • Navigate directly to any content item to edit it.
  • See content status at a glance.

Content is assigned to a site when it is created. You can reassign content to a different site from the content editor Settings tab.
