Welcome to Your Shop Space

Everything in your admin sorts into three ideas. Once these click, the rest of the admin stops feeling like a maze.

• Pages are what visitors actually see -- your homepage, an About page, a Contact page. You build them out of stackable sections rather than writing code.
• Apps are the tools your business actually runs on -- Calendar, Staff, Forms, Memberships, and more. Each one can be turned on or off depending on what your business needs.
• Design controls how it all looks -- your colors, fonts, and overall feel. Change it once and it applies everywhere.

The left sidebar is grouped into five sections. Here is what lives in each one:

1. Configuration -- Features (turn apps on/off), Legal & Policies, Marketing & Tracking, Payment Settings, SEO & Sitemap, Site Information, Site Plan, Users.
2. Style & Design -- Design & Appearance, Footer Builder, Website Menu.
3. Communication -- Forms, Requests, Email Settings, Newsletter, Announcement.
4. Content -- Pages, Media Library, and whichever content apps you have turned on (Blog, FAQs, Services, Photo Gallery, Document Library, Testimonials, Learning Center, Release Notes).
5. Scheduling & Bookings -- Calendar, Appointments, Memberships, Business Hours, Volunteers.

Click any section header in the sidebar to expand it. Items inside each section are alphabetical, so if you know a tool is name, you can scan straight to it.

At the top of every admin page is a search box. Press / anywhere in the admin to jump to it, type a few letters of what you are looking for -- a tool name, or a word from what it does -- and press Enter on the result you want. This is usually faster than hunting through the sidebar.

In order, most owners do this:

1. Pick a look under Style & Design -> Design & Appearance.
2. Build your homepage and a couple of key pages under Content -> Pages.
3. Turn on whichever Apps your business actually uses under Configuration -> Features -- if you do not take bookings, leave Calendar off.
4. Go live -- see the last article in this section.

You do not have to do this alone, and you do not have to do it all before opening. A site with two solid pages and one working tool beats an empty one you are still perfecting.
