Website Settings
How the website settings form works, what each site-wide field does, and how the save action affects the public site.
The main settings form sits under the Overview tab in My Website. This is where the site is turned on or off and where the default details for the public site are saved.
General Settings
- Enable website: controls whether the public site responds at all. When this is turned off, the public hostnames return a not found response.
- Platform URL: shows the hosted Work Planner address for this website. It is useful for previewing the site before a customer hostname is connected.
- Site name: the business name shown on the public site when a page does not override it.
- Default meta title: the site-wide SEO title fallback for pages that do not have their own SEO title.
- Default meta description: the site-wide fallback description used for search results and sharing previews when a page does not have its own description.
External Script Fields
- Head HTML: rendered just before the closing head tag. This is where the main Google Tag Manager script block normally goes.
- Body start HTML: rendered immediately after the opening body tag. This is the usual place for noscript fallbacks such as GTM iframe code.
- Body end HTML: rendered just before the closing body tag. Use this for late-loading or footer snippets.
When To Leave A Field Blank
Leave the SEO fields blank if you want pages to control their own SEO or if you are happy to let the business name and page-specific settings do the work. Leave the script fields blank unless you are pasting code from a trusted provider.
Save Website Settings
The save button stores the current values, refreshes the website payload, and keeps the public status card in step with the new settings. If the website has not been created yet behind the scenes, Work Planner creates it as part of this save.
