Site settings

Edit settings.json at the root of your Lettercamp publication for site-wide settings. Omitted fields use defaults.

The settings.json file lives at the root of your publication:

{
  "name": "Our journal",
  "description": "Stories and updates from our team.",
  "language": "en",
  "timeZone": "UTC",
  "logo": "https://images.example.com/logo.png",
  "favicon": "https://images.example.com/favicon.png"
}

Field	Purpose
`name`	Site name in the header, footer, and page metadata.
`description`	Visible homepage subtitle and fallback page description.
`language`	HTML language and date formatting locale. Defaults to `en`.
`timeZone`	Time zone for timestamps, such as `America/Los_Angeles`. Defaults to `UTC`. Date-only values keep their calendar date.
`logo`	Header and footer logo. Omit it for Lettercamp branding, or set `""` to use the site name without a logo image.
`favicon`	Browser tab icon. Defaults to the Lettercamp icon.
`design`	Site-wide appearance. See typography and image corners for their settings.
`home`	Homepage heading, feed arrangement, and width.
`post`	Article layout, reading width, cover, contents, and reading time.
`header`	Header position, ordered links, and optional button.
`footer`	Ordered link columns and social links.
`seo`	Search titles, sharing metadata, and keyword defaults.
`analytics`	Analytics integrations.

The JSON file, web editor, and CLI use these same field paths. Omitted settings use defaults; you only need to include the values you want to customize. The web editor changes the fields you edit and preserves other source fields. For standalone sites, your logo and favicon can use paths such as /logo.png from public/. lettercamp deploy uploads referenced local JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF images automatically. For other formats or GitHub publishing, use hosted URLs; upload supported images to obtain them.
