Customers have the ability to oversee and tailor their website settings through CORE. This tool grants users direct control over crucial elements that shape the information presented on their live website. Not only does it impact the visible content, but it also powers various content management systems, including our eCommerce solutions.
Customers can easily locate their core website settings by using the navigation menu to the left of CORE. To locate the core website settings, click on the Website tab in the menu, then click on Website Settings.
The business configuration section allows customers to update the business information that is displayed on the website and used by various content management systems. This information should be set correctly, and once set should not need to be changed again unless the details of the business change.
The website name setting is used to set the name of your website which is used in various configurations such as social media shares. This setting is primarily used for Open Graph configuration which tells social media platforms what your website and its pages are about. This value should not be a domain name, it should be the name of your website, for instance, our website name is CogniTech Systems. Website Name is a required field.
The company name setting should be the officially registered name of your company or your registered self-employed name. For instance, our legally registered name is CogniTech Systems LTD. If you are a legally registered company such as a LTD company, this name is legally required to be shown in the footer of your website.
The trading name should be set to the name your website is trading under. For instance, CogniTech Systems LTD is our legally registered name, however, we have multiple trading names such as Innov8 Digital Media and Anglesey Drone Media, the websites for these two trading names both display the trading name and the legally registered name and address.
If you are a legally registered company, you must provide your Company Registration Number so that it will be displayed in the footer of your website. If the company registration number is provided, by default the Show Address In Footer? and Show Address On Contact Page? will automatically be updated ensuring that your legally registered business address shows in the footer of your website and on the contact page.
If your company is VAT registered you should provide your VAT registration number in this field. This field is especially important if you have a system that creates invoices such as the eCommerce store system.
The business contact information section is where you should update the contact details of your business.
If you are a legally registered business the address you provide must be your legally registered office, in this case you will not be able to deselect Show Address In Footer? and Show Address On Contact Page?
If you are not a legally registered company name you can choose what information to display here and whether to show the address in the footer or contact page.
The telephone you choose to use here will be the telephone number displayed on your website.
The email you choose to use here will be the email that your website sends emails to from the contact page.
The business currency and timezone settings allow you to set the currency and timezone for your website. These settings will be used throughout CORE modular systems.
