Understanding Your Custom Settings Page (and Why It Matters)

Your site comes with a custom settings page, working in the background to make sure your information stays consistent, clean, and easy to update.

Why We Built This for You #

Imagine needing to update your email or business hours across 10+ pages. Without a central place to manage that info, it becomes a nightmare for your future self (and broken links aren’t cute to your clients).

That’s why we create a custom settings page in the backend of your site. It holds information that appears everywhere… like your:

  • Business email
  • Phone number
  • Hours of operation
  • Location or address
  • Social media links
  • Button links (like your discovery call links or your client portal links)

Update it once here, and the change automatically applies wherever that info appears across your site.

What It Looks Like #

Most of the time, you’ll see a simple layout:

  • Labels that tell you what each field is for (e.g., “Instagram URL” or “Support Email”)
  • Input fields where you can add or edit the info
  • No code required

You’ll find this in your WordPress dashboard, typically under Settings → [Your Site Name] Settings or something similar.

Most of this content is used in global elements—think: footers, contact buttons, and call-to-actions.

Refer to Your Website Handoff Document #

Every brand’s setup is a little different.
Check your website handoff document for notes on:

  • Where your settings page is located
  • What certain field connects to

We’ve already connected the dots for you behind the scenes, so all you need to do is update your info in one spot, and your custom site takes care of the rest.
