Introduction
Gamma sites allow you to share content publicly in a clean, responsive format. Whether you’re showcasing a portfolio, building a microsite, or launching a multi-page resource hub, Gamma makes it easy to customisze layout, navigation, and performance tracking.
How to Set Up Your Site in Gamma
Step 1: Access Site Settings
Open your published gamma.
Click the "..." menu in the top-right corner.
Select "Site settings" to access customization options.
Step 2: Customize Your Domain
Under Site Settings, choose "Add custom domain".
Follow the prompts to set up via automatic or manual DNS configuration.
After domain verification, allow a few hours for your SSL certificate to finalize. Temporary security warnings may appear but will resolve once the certificate is issued.
You can also customize your gamma.site domain by clicking the edit icon.
Pro Tip: If your SSL certificate hasn’t activated after 24 hours, contact Gamma Support.
Please see Can I change the domain of my site? for more detailed instructions on customizing your domain.
Step 3: Customize Site Name & Favicon
In the Site Settings panel:
Update your site name.
Upload a favicon (recommended size: 128x128px).
Step 4: Add Navigation (Navbar)
Enable the navigation bar from Site Settings.
Once enabled, you’ll see the navbar at the top of your site.
Hover to find the "+" icon and add links to other pages or external URLs.
Click any existing nav item to:
Change text
Adjust alignment
Set or edit the URL
Delete the link
Important: Navbars sync across all site pages. Changes only go live after you click Publish.
Step 5: Add & Manage Multiple Pages
Click the "Toggle Pages Panel" in the top-left corner.
Click "+ Add page" to start from scratch or generate one with AI.
Hover over a page in the sidebar and click the "..." menu to:
Rename the page
Set URL path (leave blank to make it your homepage)
Preview the public version
Duplicate the page
Unpublish the page without affecting the rest of the site
Step 6: Connect Pages via Navbar (Use Case)
Want your nav item to link to another Gamma page?
Add a page like "Contact Us"
In the navbar, click to edit the link.
Select the corresponding internal page or paste an external URL.
Pro Tip: The site doesn't need to be published to link nav items—just enabled.
Step 7: Set Page Descriptions (For SEO)
Click the "..." menu beside a page.
Select "Page setup" > "Preview".
Add a title, URL path, and page description.
Click Publish to push changes live.
Step 8: Publish Your Site or Pages
To publish changes across the entire site (theme, nav, etc.), click "Publish".
To publish changes to an individual page only, open the page's "..." menu and select "Publish page".
Analytics
To monitor traffic and performance:
Go to Site Settings.
Add Google Tag Manager to connect analytics tools like Google Analytics.

FAQs & Common Issues
Why does my site show a security warning after setting up a custom domain?
SSL certificates take a few hours to activate. Try refreshing after a few hours. If the issue persists after 24 hours, contact customer support.
Can I publish a single page without affecting my entire site?
Yes. Use the page-specific "..." menu and choose "Publish page".
Do nav changes apply to all pages?
Yes. Navigation is synced across all site pages and will update once the site is re-published.
Why isn’t my favicon showing up?
Make sure the uploaded image is square and exactly 128x128px. Also ensure your site is published.
