Pick one font for headings and one for body text, from Google Fonts or your own fonts. You also set how wide the content runs on screen. For each section, depending on its type, you can adjust colors including background, text, heading, link, and accent, as well as corner rounding and spacing. Branding settings in the website builder · fictional sample show Content and pages ## Manage your site’s content Your site’s content comes from your show in Springcast. In a featured-episode section, you choose which episode goes first and which quote goes with it. By default, that quote comes from the opening of the episode description. You add hosts with text and a photo. You manage your social links once, in your show’s distribution settings. Your site displays them in sections featuring your social channels, as links or as logos. The “Follow and subscribe” section has a different job: it shows the podcast apps where people can follow your show. With Professional, you customize the homepage, the episodes overview, and the episode template. With Scale and in Company podcast projects, you can also add custom pages, for example about your team or your partners. Use a custom link in the main menu to send visitors to another website, such as your online store.

Every show in Springcast has a standard podcast website with your episodes and a branded player. With the website builder, you put that site together yourself: you choose sections and variants, adjust colors and fonts, and decide how your homepage, episodes overview, and episode template look. On Scale and in Company podcast projects, you can also add custom pages. ### Which plan do I need for the website builder? Professional or Scale; choose Scale if you also want to add custom pages. On Essential, you keep the standard podcast website. If you work for an organization, the website builder is also included in Company podcast projects. ### Can I add custom pages? Yes, on Scale and in Company podcast projects. With Professional, you customize the homepage, the episodes overview, and the episode template. That template gives every published episode its own page. ### What happens to my current website when I publish? Your current podcast website stays in place until you publish. On first publish, you get a warning first; then the new site replaces your current podcast website. If needed, you can select the previous podcast website again in your show’s distribution settings. ### Can I see my site before it goes live? Yes. In the builder, you switch between desktop and mobile view. The preview shows your whole site before you publish. ### Do I need to add my episodes again? No. Your site uses the show and episodes already in Springcast. ### Where do I manage my social links? In your show’s distribution settings. Sections featuring your social channels display them as links or logos. The “Follow and subscribe” section is about podcast apps: that’s where visitors see where they can follow your show. ### Do I still need another website? Not for your podcast: your podcast website lives in Springcast. If you already have your own website, add a link to it in your podcast website’s main menu. ### Will my site get a new address? No. The site you publish with the website builder uses the address of your current podcast website. ### Can I also use the website builder for a private podcast? This page covers your show’s public podcast website. If you’re making a members-only podcast, see private podcasting for how members listen and which options come with it.
