      Overview

      • Site settings is where you select which header, banner, footer, navigator, and catalog will be displayed on your website. 
      • Each of these elements is created and activated in a different section of Admin, but Site Settings is where the designation is made as to which will be displayed on your site. 
      • Within site settings, you can also choose the number of catalog home page feature items, edit your favorites icon, and be linked to change your current theme.

      Header

      • Select whether you would like to display the header or not.
      • The information displayed in the Header can be changed, updated, and edited in Store Information.

      Banner

      • Select which, if any, banner you'd like displayed on your site.
      • The banner selected here will appear on all pages of your website. 

      Footer

      • Your footer displays on all pages of the website and is a way to add links and further customize your site.
      • A specific footer can be selected to display on an individual page by editing Advanced Settings for that page.
      • Click here for more information about Adding & Updating Your Footer.

      Navigator

      • The Navigator contains a list of page links to help customers navigate the site.
      • Learn more about setting up navigation menus in Navigator Builder.

      SEO Tip: Clean/logical page navigation makes it easy for customers to browse the site. Search engines place higher value on websites that are easy to navigate.

      • Google recommends 4-6 links. 
      • The Navigator is used to build the "Site Map" which is one of the first things that search engines look for when crawling a website.
      • Learn more about Site Maps.

      Catalog

      • The Bicycling Catalog is the appropriate default catalog in most cases.
      • Creating additional catalogs can be helpful, as keeping like products in one catalog helps visitors find products more easily.
        • Snow sports or used items would be a good reason to have a second catalog.
      • To add additional catalogs please contact our Client Success team.
