Setting up a Hub site
Learn how to set up a site that showcases other sites
A hub site is a special purpose site available to Premium and Enterprise plans, that brings together content from your other sites into a single brand hub.
This can be helpful for PR agencies that want to create a portfolio of work across their clients or big enterprises that have multiple sites they want united under one convenient address.
We created this example to demonstrate how hub site might work:
Here, the Vent Airlines hub site unites the brand's main site, its partner site, its travel blog, and its darkroom – a private site set up for crisis communications that can only be accessed by direct link.
You can see that as well as linking prominently to each of these sites, we have also elected to include recently published stories in the hub site.
For an idea of how an agency might use hub sites, have a watch of this case study video from Oona.
To turn a site into a hub, go to your site’s settings page and find the Hub site card. If you don’t have a site yet, create one first.
⚠️ Make sure you select the same default languages for your hub site as you have for the sites you wish to include. You can have several default languages in your hub site
In you hub site settings, click the button "Turn this site into a hub site." After that, all your sites will appear as a list of cards, each with a few options:
- Show in hub: Makes the site visible in your hub.
- Show stories in hub: Displays all of the site’s stories on your hub homepage.
Each card also gives quick access to your site's branding settings, where you can update your logo and other visual elements.
Tip: Hub sites use your site's square logo. This means whatever image you add there will be shown as the site card cover in the hub. You can get some cool effects by uploading images that go beyond just logos — like what Tomorrowland does.
If you do this, don't forget to set up your favicon; otherwise, the uploaded image will be used.
Good to know:You can have more than one hub site for your account, and we can even create a "hub of hubs." This will allow you to accomplish multi-level organization for your sites.
⚠️ A Hub site is considered a site on your subscription. Allocating one to your plan will take up one site in your allowance. For any questions regarding this, feel free to reach out to our Support Team. ⚠️
