Blogging on a Webby Site
A blog needs three things in place: template pages to display posts, categories to organise them, and authors to attribute them. Set those up once and...
Five Ways to Create a Page
Webby offers five routes to a new page, and picking the right one saves both time and money. The difference is how much Webby writes and how much you ...
Setting Up a Redirect
A redirect sends anyone arriving at an old address to a new one. It is what keeps existing links working after you rename or remove a page.
Site Settings
Ten tabs covering everything the whole site shares. Changes here reach every page as soon as you save them, with no publishing step.
Start a New Site
The first screen of setup collects the site's name, its language, and the title and description search engines fall back on. Fill it in carefully — th...
The Link Map
The link map reads every internal link on your site — in pages, in your header, in your footer — and tells you which ones go nowhere, which point at u...
The Page Editor
The editor is your page at full size with a toolbar above it. You edit by clicking the thing you want to change, and every section has its own control...
Webby: Websites in Zyntro
Webby builds and runs your website inside Zyntro. You describe what each page needs to do and Webby designs it against your brand, then serves it on y...

Blog Categories
Zyntro recommends a set of categories for your blog based on your brand, and assigns new content to them. You can edit them, add your own, or remove t...
Build a Page with Webby
The full creation flow asks six questions about the page before building anything. The answers are what separate a page that argues your case from a p...
Choose Your Colours
Pick one of sixteen palettes or enter your own brand colours. This is the foundation every page is built on, so it is worth a minute of thought.
Editing Text, Images and Links
Click the thing you want to change. Text becomes editable in place, an image opens your media library, and a button or link opens its destination with...
Fixing Broken and Self Links
A missing link has three possible fixes and only one of them is usually right. A self-link needs finding before it can be fixed, and the link map will...

How a Webby Site Fits Together
A Webby site is a shell plus a set of pages. Knowing which of your changes touch the shell and which touch a page explains why some edits appear every...
Pages Your Navigation Expects
Webby reads your header and footer, finds the internal links that have no page behind them, and lists them ready to build. It is the shortest path fro...
Pointing Your Domain
One A record at your registrar, and one setting to get right if your DNS is at Cloudflare. Proxying must be off, or the domain check fails for a reaso...
When You Need a Redirect
Redirects matter in four situations and are the wrong tool in a couple of others. Knowing which is which saves you from a site that redirects visitors...
Asking for a Change
For changes bigger than wording, describe what the section should become. You see a before-and-after comparison and decide whether to keep it. How you...
Blog Authors
Authors give posts a byline, a face and a biography. They belong to the brand, so one author set serves every site you build on it.
Choose Your Typography
Webby uses four font roles rather than one font. Pick a personality pairing to fill them all at once, or choose each font yourself from the Google Fon...
Editing Your Design System
Change your colours, spacing, borders and buttons at any time. Pages built before the change may need one extra click to adopt it, and the tab has an ...
Review the Narrative Arc
Before Webby writes anything it shows you the plan: every section, what each is for, and what it will say. Changing the plan costs nothing. Changing t...
Setting a Homepage and Cloning Pages
Two small actions that save a lot of work: choosing which page is served at your root address, and copying a page you have already got right.
Staging and Live
Every site gets a working address as soon as it exists, long before a domain is involved. The status on the site card tells you which stage you are at...
Taking Your Site Live
Enter your domain and Webby checks it before anything happens, then tells you exactly which of four situations you are in and what the next step does.
Adding, Reordering and Deleting Sections
Sections can be added above or below any existing one, duplicated, dragged into a new order, or removed. Only adding costs anything.
Build From a Template
A template page serves unlimited addresses from one design. Build it once and every blog post on your site has a page, including the ones you have not...
Deleting and Restoring a Page
Deleting a page moves it to Pages Archived, where it can be restored with its content intact. There is a second, permanent delete on that tab, and onl...
Replacing a Site That Is Already Live
Moving a domain from one site to another archives the current one first and gives you a one-click restore for 30 days. There is also a rehearsal that ...
Typography, Icons and Backdrops
Three tabs covering the rest of your site's look: the fonts and their scale, the icon family, and the background images available to your sections.
Use Your Own Fonts
If your brand's typeface is licensed rather than public, upload the font files to your drive and register them. They then appear alongside the library...
Editing Your Navigation
The header and footer tabs edit your navigation directly — labels, links, dropdown items — with no generation involved. Design changes go through a pr...
Import a Design
If you already have a page designed as standalone HTML, Webby converts it into editable blocks that match your site's design system. Navigation is dis...
Saving and Publishing
Save keeps your work. Publish puts it in front of visitors. They are separate on purpose, and knowing which one you have pressed answers most question...
Visual Style and Ambition
Choose a visual signature to steer the look, and set an ambition level from 1 to 10 that decides how adventurous the design gets. Then Webby generates...
Your Error Pages
Every site has a working 404 and 500 page from the start. You can replace either with one of your own, and revert to the built-in version whenever you...
Choose Your Icons
Pick one icon family for the whole site. Icons turn up in navigation, buttons and feature lists, and mixing families is one of the few things that mak...
Code Injections
Four fields that add your own code to every page on the site: header code, footer code, custom CSS and custom JavaScript. Powerful, site-wide, and app...
Legal Pages and Blank Pages
Two routes that skip the design thinking entirely: one formats text you already have, the other gives you an empty page and gets out of the way.
Undo and Version History
Every change takes a snapshot of the page first. Undo steps back to the most recent one; version history lets you look through all of them and restore...
Analytics and the Cookie Banner
Turning on visitor tracking tells the rest of Zyntro what people do on your site. A cookie banner has to be in place first, and that requirement is en...
Generate Your Header
Your header is generated from your brand and offering, then refined by asking for changes in plain language. Every page on the site will use it, so th...
Page Settings and Search Engines
Each page has its own address, title, description and share image, and its own switch for whether search engines should index it. These are the fields...
Connecting Live Chat
Put a chat widget on every page of the site, so visitors can get an answer at the moment they have the question.
Generate Your Footer
The footer is generated the same way as the header, with one thing to check deliberately: it always includes a call-to-action block, and the button it...
Page CSS and JavaScript
Each page has its own styling and behaviour, editable directly. It is the right tool for something one page needs and nothing else does, and the wrong...
Adding Fragments and Using Smart Fields
Fragments put live, interactive pieces of Zyntro into a page. Smart fields let you reference your own images, forms, calendars and offerings inside an...
Background Imagery
The last step of setup is optional. Upload images that can sit behind sections of your site, and Webby works out where they suit. Skipping it costs yo...
The Intelligence Layer Architecture
