A new site comes with a checklist that takes you from a fresh start to live. Each step says what it changes and opens the exact screen where you do it. Most steps tick themselves done when you save the right details. A few need more: a successful test, or choosing **Looks good**. **Who can do this:** Admins and Owners. ## Before you start * **Your site starts offline.** A new site is in maintenance mode, so visitors see a "be right back" page. You and your team see the full site. A reminder bar at the bottom says: "Maintenance mode is on — visitors currently see the maintenance page. Turn it off in Site settings → Maintenance." The last step puts your site live. * **Have your details handy:** your logo, a small square icon for browser tabs, your address, phone and email, and your legal business name. * **Work at your own pace.** Close the checklist whenever you like. It remembers what's done, and it stays in your menu for as long as your site exists. ## Open the checklist * In the toolbar, choose your picture and name, then **Set up your site**. * Or open the command palette (⌘K, or Ctrl+K on Windows) and choose **Set up your site**. * Or press T, then Shift+S. The **Set up your site** window opens. At the top, **Get your site ready** counts the required steps you've finished. Below it, the steps are in two lists: **Required** and **Optional**. The first required step that isn't done yet is marked **Next**. ![The Set up your site window on a fresh site: Get your site ready with "0 of 14 required steps" and its progress bar, then the Required list with step 1.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/0g3iIRMTmzCPGaat/images/cms/guides/get-started/set-up-your-site/guides-get-started-setup-checklist-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=0g3iIRMTmzCPGaat\&q=85\&s=9756f0165f297f126b077fc651eb4201) The checklist on a new site. Next marks where to start. ## Work through the steps **1. Choose Open on a step** The right screen opens on top of the checklist, on the right tab. Often the right group of settings is already open too. ![Site settings opened from step 1, on the Brand tab with the Name and tagline group open and scrolled into view, the checklist dimmed behind it.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/VHp0B0s1nBbMi7JQ/images/cms/guides/get-started/set-up-your-site/guides-get-started-setup-step-open-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=VHp0B0s1nBbMi7JQ\&q=85\&s=73977ec3a6827653b65f0be7a8817e9f) Open takes you straight to the right settings. **2. Make your changes and save** In **Site settings** or **Site design**, choose **Update**. In **Connections**, choose **Save**. Then close the screen. You're back on the checklist, and the step shows a check mark if it's done. **3. Tick the steps that are already fine** Some steps come with sensible starting settings, such as your colors and fonts. If you're happy with them as they are, choose **Looks good** on that step. Anyone who opens the checklist sees the tick. ![Step 4, Pick your colors, with its Open button and the Looks good box ticked; steps 1 to 3 above it show check marks.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/0g3iIRMTmzCPGaat/images/cms/guides/get-started/set-up-your-site/guides-get-started-setup-looks-good-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=0g3iIRMTmzCPGaat\&q=85\&s=fe6ace32f8cde7a4a857248454105b28) Looks good marks a step done when its starting settings suit you. **4. Keep going until Get your site ready is full** When every required step is done, the heading changes to **Your site is set up**. A step that's done shows **Review** instead of **Open**, so you can go back and change it later. ## The required steps | Step | What it changes | Where it opens | Done when | | - | - | - | - | | **Name your business and add your logo** | Your name in the header, the browser tab and your emails | **Site settings** → **Brand** | You've replaced the starting business name, and added a logo and a browser icon | | **Add your contact details** | Your address, phone and email in the footer, on maps and in search results | **Site settings** → **Brand** | You've replaced the starting placeholder in at least one of phone, email or address.

Your site is set up. ## Troubleshooting > [accordion] I saved, but the step isn't done > > Each step checks for something specific. Compare what you saved with the **Done when** column above. For example, **Name your business and add your logo** needs your business name, a logo and a browser icon, all three. > [accordion] Connect email went back to not done > > The email step stays done only while your email settings match the last test that worked. If you change any of your email connection's settings, such as the sender address, send a test email again. Choose **Send test email** on the **Email** card in **Connections**. See [Email notifications](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/forms/email-notifications.md). > [accordion] I published my home page, but Write your pages isn't done > > Your home page was first published by itself when your site was created, and that doesn't count. Make a real change to your home page, then publish it again. A publish in the first few minutes after your site was created may not count either: wait a few minutes and publish again. > [accordion] There's no Looks good on a step > > **Looks good** appears only on steps whose starting settings are already a fine answer. Other steps need you to add something of your own, such as your business name, so they tick themselves done when you save it. > [accordion] How do I add people? > > You can't invite people from the checklist. Fetchski gives each person access to your site: ask Fetchski Support to add them. Once they've signed in, give them a role in **People & Roles**. See [People & Roles](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/people/people-and-roles.md). > [accordion] Couldn’t load your setup checklist > > The checklist couldn't reach your site. Choose **Try again**. If it keeps happening, reload the page, then contact Fetchski Support. ## Related > [card] [Site settings](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/site-settings/index.md) > > your business details, SEO and cookie consent. > [card] [Site design](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/site-design/index.md) > > colors, fonts, header and footer. > [card] [Connections](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/connections/index.md) > > email, spam protection, Google and more. > [card] [Maintenance mode](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/site-settings/maintenance.md) > > what visitors see before you go live.
