Customize your page

Set your status page's name, address, and timezone, brand it with your logo and colours, shape the header and footer, and decide what visitors can see and subscribe to.

Your status page should look like part of your product, not a third-party tool. This page covers the two settings screens that control that: General for the name, address, and timezone, and Customization for everything visual. Both live under your status page's Settings and are available to admins only.

General settings and timezone

Open your status page's settings and choose General. Three fields define the page:

• Name: how the page is called in the admin console and, unless you set a title under Customization, in the browser tab and header of the page itself.

• Timezone: the timezone every date on the page is displayed in, and the one used when you schedule maintenance. Pick the timezone most of your audience is in, not the one your servers run in.

• Subdomain: the first part of the page's default address. It must be lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes, and unique across StatusPal Next.

Click Save General settings.

Changing the subdomain changes the address. Links you have shared, bookmarks, and RSS subscriptions pointing at the old address stop working. If you need a memorable address, add a custom domain instead of renaming the subdomain.

The Danger Zone at the bottom holds Delete Status Page. Deletion removes the page with all its notices, services, and subscribers and cannot be undone.

Branding, logos, and light/dark appearance

Open Settings → Customization. The first three cards control how the page looks.

Basic holds your identity:

• Title overrides the browser tab title and the text shown in the header when there is no logo. Leave it empty to use the page name followed by "Status".

• Icon is the favicon, also shown in the header next to the title. Upload an ICO, PNG, or SVG with a 1:1 ratio, up to 1 MB. There is a slot for light mode and one for dark mode.

• Logo replaces the title and icon in the header. Upload a PNG, JPG, or SVG up to 2 MB. If you provide only one, it is used in both modes, so pick a version that reads on both backgrounds or upload two.

Theme / Mode decides the colour scheme visitors get. Default mode is System (follow the visitor's device), Light, or Dark. Switch on Show mode toggle to let visitors flip between light and dark themselves.

Theme base colors sets two colours as hex values, each with a light and a dark mode variant. Primary color is used for buttons, links, and highlights. Primary content color is the text and icon colour drawn on top of it, so keep the contrast high. If you set only the light value, it is reused in dark mode.

Click Save customization settings after any change. The page updates immediately for every visitor.

Subscription options

The Subscribe modal card controls the subscribe button on your page and the dialog it opens.

• Switch the card off to remove the subscribe button entirely. Visitors can still read the page, but nobody new can sign up for updates. Use this for internal pages where everyone who needs updates is already added by an admin.

• With the card on, choose which tabs the dialog offers: Email, Slack, RSS feed, and Calendar feed. The first enabled tab is the one visitors land on.

A tab only appears if the channel is also enabled for notifications. Email, Slack, RSS, and Calendar each have a second switch under Settings → Notifications that controls whether that channel is available at all. A channel must be on in both places to show up in the dialog. See Subscribers and notifications.

Uptime graphs and upcoming maintenance

Two cards control the history and forecast sections of the page.

Uptime graph shows or hides the graph of daily uptime under your services. When it is on, Period decides how far back it reaches: 30, 60, or 90 days. The graph is built from your incident notices, so what it shows and how downtime is counted is explained in Services and containers.

Upcoming maintenances sets how far ahead scheduled maintenance appears on the page: 7, 14, or 28 days before it starts. A window scheduled further out than the period stays hidden until it comes within range. Choose a longer period if your customers plan around your maintenance windows.

Navigation and footer

The Layout card, at the bottom of the Customization page, shapes what surrounds the status content.

• Website url is required. Your logo or title in the header links there, so visitors can get back to your main site in one click.

• Footer heading is a short line above the footer links, for example your company name or "Need help?".

• Navigation is the list of footer links. Click Add link, fill in a Title and a Url, and repeat for each link. Support, documentation, and your main site are the usual candidates. The red cross removes a link.

• Copyright text replaces the default line, which reads "Copyright © year - All right reserved by your organization".
