One of the first things that you should do when you create your site is to set up your custom domain or subdomain.
Once you have moved to a custom domain or subdomain, the next thing to do is to configure the Access and Registration.
Site Access: Public, Private, or Hybrid.
Registration: Public, Invite-only, Any can invite.
Authentication methods: Email Login, Social Login, Single Sign-On (SSO).
Next, set up your Site Structure by adding Collections and Spaces.
Remember, less is more! Make the Site Structure simple and easy for your members.
After creating the Spaces, adjust the default settings.
Apply default Spaces for new members to join automatically.
Configure default notification settings for each Space.
Next, brand your site! Configure the theme, customize the navigation, and add custom blocks to enhance the Spaces.
Explore the App Store. Connect your site with your technical stack. Bettermode offers a series of apps that can be installed to unlock your site's full potential.
If you need a specific functionality and can't find a good match on the App Store, get creative with custom apps. Use the Developer Portal to connect to API and webhooks, and build an app yourself!
Lastly, seed some content in the site.
