​
Open the Site settings page

​
Info

Site info settings including name, description, and domain

​
Site name and description

Define how your site appears across the product and to visitors.
  • Name: 3 to 30 characters
  • Description: up to 250 characters
These are shown in the browser title, previews, and other public surfaces.

​
Site domain

Your site is hosted on a Sherpo subdomain by default.
  • Example: demo.sherpo.io
  • To migrate to or from a custom domain, you must currently contact support.

​
Preferences

Preferences tab with language and search engine indexing

​
Language

Select the default language for your site. This controls the interface language shown to visitors. Sherpo currently supports the following languages:
  • English
  • Deutsch
  • Italiano
  • Français
  • Português
  • Español
  • Русский
  • 日本語
After changing language, the change may take a short time to propagate in your website, due to caching.

​
Search engine indexing

Disable search engine indexing to prevent Google and other crawlers from indexing your site. Existing indexed pages will be gradually removed from results.
It can be useful to keep indexing disabled while your site is private, under development, or intentionally not discoverable. Enable it if you want your site to appear in search results.

​
Appearance

Appearance settings with icon, accent colors, theme restriction, and hero dots

​
Icon

Upload your site icon. This is used as the favicon and in previews.
  • Square PNG or JPEG
  • Browser caching may cause a short delay before updates appear

​
Accent color

Choose the highlight color used across your site.
  • Accent color (light) applies in light mode
  • Accent color (dark) applies in dark mode
These colors affect links and some interactive elements.

​
Theme restriction

Control which themes are available to visitors:
  • Both: light and dark mode, auto-switching based on system preferences
  • Light: force light mode only
  • Dark: force dark mode only

​
Hero dots

Enable or disable the animated dots background shown at the top of each page. Disabling this can improve performance on older devices.
Hero dots add subtle motion and personality. We recommend keeping them enabled unless performance is critical.

​
Custom styling

Ultra plans can upload a custom .css file to further customize the site appearance. Styles are applied on top of default Sherpo styles and may take a short time to propagate due to caching.
