While the *Content Editor* tab is primarily for managing data (your photos, text, and structure), the Site Settings tab is your global control center. This is where you bring your brand to life, manage how search engines view your site, and flip the switch to go live.

You can access these settings by navigating from the main Editor view to the tab directly next to it. Let's break down all the incredible features housed within this panel.


1. Theme & Style (Pro/Max Feature)

If you're on a paid plan, Lapsite hands you the keys to a complete design system specifically tuned for your template, right inside the Theme & Style card.

  • Color Presets: This section allows you to instantly swap the entire core color palette of your website. Lapsite offers predefined, expert-selected brand combinations (like Daytona, Monza, or Stealth) that touch up everything from your buttons to your background gradients.
  • Style Presets: Beyond colors, you can change the actual architectural "feel" of your site. Switch from soft, rounded edges to brutalist, sharp corners to instantly alter the aesthetic perfectly matching your team.

2. Template-Aware SEO (Pro/Max Feature)

You don't need to be an SEO expert to rank highly. Lapsite's SEO panel is entirely "Template-Aware."

This means instead of asking you confusing, generic technical questions, the SEO cards guide you specifically based on the template you are using. Simply fill out the title format, input your target keywords, and drag an image into the Social Sharing upload box. Lapsite automatically builds out all the advanced meta tags in the background.

3. The AI Content Assistant

Instead of staring directly at a blank page all afternoon, the Lapsite AI Content Assistant acts as your personal copywriter embedded inside the editor workflow.

How it Works1. From the Dashboard, you globally configure your "AI Profile" with details about your racing career, target audience, and preferred tone of voice (e.g., Professional vs Edgy).2. Inside the Settings, you'll see an Alice AI status card. When you see the green `Personalized` badge, the AI is fully loaded and ready.3. As you navigate back to the main Content Editor, you'll see small purple sparkles (`✨`) next to any major text field (like the "About Me" section or "Sponsor Pitch"). 4. Click the sparkles, and Alice will automatically generate perfectly formatted copy specific to your configured profile that drops directly into the component.

4. Analytics Shortcut (Max Plan)

For Max users, the Analytics card gives you a quick-launch button to jump straight into your comprehensive traffic dashboards and click-tracking metrics without having to go back to the main account Dashboard.

5. Advanced Publish Controls

The final section is housed within an expandable `Advanced` accordion menu at the bottom.

  • Debug Information: Important metadata (like your permanent `Site ID`) if you ever need technical support.
  • Publish Settings: This is the master switch for your website. Lapsite sites default to "Draft" mode, meaning only you can see them. Once you are perfectly happy with your Live Preview, you come here to toggle the status to "Published" and send it out to the world!
  • If a site is active, you can use this section to instantly Unpublish Site to hide it if you are making massive overhauls.
