Customize your Pattern site even more with these new features

March 7, 2017

This slew of new features is one to write home about. We think you'll be excited to learn that listing titles and descriptions can now be modified on Pattern sites from within the Listings Manager. You can also change your shop icon, cover photo, About photos and more, to differentiate your Pattern site from your Etsy shop to your heart's desire. While you're at it, add a Contact Us page to your site, and let us know what other pages you’d love the ability to add. And before you go, opt into auto-renew so you never have to worry about your domain expiring!

In this release

New

• Pages: In place of what was previously the "Content" section of the Pattern dashboard, you will now have the ability to add pages to your site. We're starting you off with a "Contact Us" page, but stay tuned for more.
• Content customization: Within Pages, you can now customize your shop icon, cover photo and About photos to be unique to Pattern. Editing your site name and About copy has moved into this section as well.
• Pattern-specific listing titles and descriptions: In listing manager, listing titles and descriptions can now be edited to be different in Pattern than they are on Etsy.
• Domain renewals: You can now renew your domain for up to three years at a time, and opt into auto-renew so you never have to worry about your domain expiring in the future.

Improved

• We've redesigned the Pattern dashboard so it's easier on the eyes and navigation is smoother.
