Website settings
Website settings cover the parts of your site that are not content. Which addresses visitors reach it at, how search engine crawlers treat it, how cookies and consent are handled, and which analytics services receive data.
The Settings screen
Every tab in one place. Domains, design, robots, cookies, tracking, details and the danger zone.
Domains
The Domains tab controls the addresses visitors type to reach your site. Every project gets a generated domain, and you connect your own domains alongside it here.
The project Domains screen
Domains belong to the project, and each one can be attached to a website. The list shows what each domain is attached to and whether it still needs its DNS verified.
The default domain
Every project receives a generated domain, formatted as your-app-slug.giantcontext.com. It is live from the moment the project exists, so the site is reachable before you have a domain of your own, and it keeps working after you add one.
Custom domains
A custom domain is your own address, such as yourcompany.com, pointed at the site. Set yours up before you start sharing links, because moving a live site to a different domain costs you search rankings while the new address is being indexed.
Design
The Design tab is where you give the website a visual identity. Brandings live at the project level and hold your colors, typography and logos. Pick one here and those styles apply across the site. If the dropdown is empty, set up a branding in the project first.
The Design tab
One dropdown, holding the brandings the project has. The one you pick is the one the site renders in.
Pick a branding before you build pages. You can assign one later, and doing it first means the editor renders your real colors and typography while you design, instead of a set you have to redo.
Authentication
The Authentication tab is in the settings panel and the feature behind it is not built yet. Nothing on this tab affects your site today.
Robots
Cookies
The Cookies tab controls the consent banner and what a visitor's answer does. Cookies needed for the site to work are always on. Everything else waits for consent.
The Cookies tab
The banner toggle, its title and description, and the two policy page selectors sit on one tab.
Cookie consent banner
Turn on the Enable Cookie Banner toggle to show the notice. The Banner Title and Banner Description are yours to write, so say plainly what is being collected and why.
Policy links
Two dropdowns on the same tab point the banner at your privacy policy and your cookie policy. Both lists are drawn from your published website pages.
Cookie categories
Region settings
Turn on Auto-detect Region and the banner appears only for visitors in places whose privacy laws require it, such as the European Union, the United Kingdom and California. Everyone else reaches the site without it.
Tracking
Details
The Details tab is read only. It holds the site's ID, its slug and the times it was created and last updated. The copy button next to each field gives you the exact value, which is what you need when you reach the site through the Giant Context API or when you report a problem.
Danger zone
Deleting the website
The tab lists what happens before you commit. The pages, headers and footers are archived, the app moves to the project trash, and you can restore it from there.
Deletion asks first. You confirm before anything is removed, and the site stays in the project trash afterwards in case you want it back.
Tips and best practices
Tips and best practices
Before you share the first link. Moving a live site to a different domain costs you search rankings while the new address is indexed.
Yes if any of your visitors come from the EU. Auto-detect region shows it only where the law requires it.
Before the site goes live. The two dropdowns on the Cookies tab read from your published pages, so the pages have to exist first.
Only if you have a path you want crawlers to skip. The defaults already let search engines reach every published page.
Before you build pages, so the editor shows your real colors and typography while you work.
