Site Settings

Every site has one Site Settings entry in Contentful that controls global configuration — your site’s name, logo, footer, homepage, and layout preferences.

You probably won’t edit this often, but it’s helpful to understand what it controls.

Key Settings

Setting	What It Controls
Site Title	Your organization’s name — may appear in the browser tab and header
Logo	The logo image shown in the navigation bar
Logo Width	How wide the logo displays (in pixels)
Homepage	Which page loads when visitors go to your root URL
Page Width	Maximum width of the overall page layout
Content Width	Maximum width of the content area within the page

Footer Settings

The footer appears at the bottom of every page:

Setting	What It Controls
Footer Text	Text content in the footer (supports markdown formatting)
Footer Logo	Optional separate logo for the footer
Footer Phone	Contact phone number
Footer Address	Physical address
Footer CTA / CTA URL	A call-to-action button in the footer (e.g., “Donate Now”)
Footer License	License or legal text

Visibility Toggles

Setting	What It Does
Site Name Visibility	Show or hide the site name next to the logo in the header
Blog Visibility	Show or hide the blog section (if your site has one)
Donate Button Visibility	Show or hide a donate button in the navigation
Donation URL	Where the donate button links to

Layout Options

The Page Width and Content Width settings control how wide your site’s content stretches:

Option	Width	Best For
max-w-prose	~65 characters	Reading-focused, article-style pages
max-w-3xl	768px	Narrow, focused layouts
max-w-5xl	1024px	Balanced — most common
max-w-7xl	1280px	Wide layouts with sidebars or grids
max-w-full	100% of screen	Edge-to-edge content

Most sites use max-w-7xl for the page and max-w-5xl for content, giving a comfortable reading width with room for navigation.

Tips

Changing the homepage is as simple as pointing the Homepage field to a different page entry. The old homepage still exists — it just won’t be the default landing page anymore.
Logo width affects all pages. If your logo looks too large or too small in the nav bar, adjust this value.
Be careful with width changes. Switching from max-w-5xl to max-w-full affects every page on the site. Talk to your developer before making layout-wide changes.
