A reworked Website & Design page for Curvenote Sites

Setting up a site’s identity in Curvenote Sites is now a single, comfortable sitting: the Website & Design page has been reworked around a full-height settings panel, a new footer editor, and a live preview you can click to jump straight to the field behind any region.

Curvenote Sites

A reworked Website & Design page. Configuring a site’s identity is finally comfortable to do in one sitting. The settings panel is now full-height and scrolls on its own, unsaved changes stay tracked per accordion section with a save / discard / keep-editing prompt when navigating away, and every save confirms with a toast.

Website & Design for the SciPy Proceedings site: the full-height settings panel on the right holds the dark-mode logo, tagline, social links, and footer link columns, while the live preview beside it renders the real footer those fields produce.

A new Footer editor. Upload light and dark footer logos, set a tagline, drag-and-drop social links whose icons are inferred from the URL, and lay out up to three drag-and-drop footer link columns whose links can be reordered or moved between columns. Empty links, empty columns, and blank social links are flagged inline on the field, on the section header, and on the Save button, and are enforced on the server as well.

A clickable live preview. The preview sits inside a browser frame and renders a real footer — logo, tagline, social icons, link columns, and the Curvenote brand bar — mirroring the theme’s journal footer. Click any region to jump to the matching field in the panel. Info tooltips describe how each field is used, and a new favicon upload rounds out the site-identity settings.
