Glossary

Quick definitions of the terms you'll meet in Uniweb. Each links to where the concept is explained in full.

The big ideas

Foundation — the design system your site uses: the set of section types available to you, the options each offers, and the look they produce. You choose one; you don't build it. See Foundations and templates.

Template — a starting point: a design system (its set of ready-made, configurable sections) plus sample content that shows the sections in action. Not a fixed layout — a kit of pieces to compose freely. See Foundations and templates.

Theme / theming — your colors and fonts. Branding you control, set in the Editor's Preview under Global Theme, overridable per section. See Theming and branding.

Pages and content

Page — one address on your site; pages form the navigation hierarchy. See Working with pages.

Section — a unit of content on a page. See Pages and sections.

Section type — the kind of section (Hero, Features, FAQ). The category you choose from, provided by your Foundation. See Working with sections.

Content you write directly — content typed into a section on a page; goes live when you publish. (Also called static content.) See Content you write vs. content you link.

Linked content — library items displayed on a site through folders; updates automatically. See Content you write vs. content you link.

The library and folders

Library asset — a structured item (Article, Event, Person, Project…) that lives in your library independent of any site. See About the content library.

Site folder — the built-in folder every website has; the site displays content placed here. See Folders.

Draft mode — a switch in a library item's Main settings that keeps the item off the site while it is in the site's folder. See Creating library assets.

The app and its areas

Hub — your workspace: your websites, and your library content under Content Library. See A tour of the app.

Uniweb Studio — the name shown as the maker of the standard templates (on the template card, and as Created by in its preview): it is us. Design systems are shown by their address instead, such as @std/marketing. ⚠️ It is not an area of the app, and not a place where you change a site's settings — for those, open the site and use its own Settings. See A tour of the app.

Editor — where you build a site: pages, sections, content, publishing. See Creating a website.

Records — a website's view onto its content folder. See Folders.

Analytics / Stats — a website's visitor analytics: the Analytics view in the editor, the Stats button on its card. See Inbox and Analytics.

Inbox — submissions from a website's forms. See Inbox and Analytics.

Settings — your account area: your profile, how the app looks, notifications, and billing. See Settings.

Publishing and people

Publish — push your draft live so visitors see your latest work; the whole site at once. See Publishing your site.

Draft / live — your working copy versus what visitors see; publishing syncs them. See Publishing your site.

Role — what a person can do on a site: Reader, Contributor or Editor, with Full control as an extra an editor can be given. A folder that isn't part of a site is shared with its own names for the same three levels: Viewer, Editor, Admin. See Roles and permissions.

Seat — what an Editor needs on a site in your personal workspace: a line on that site's subscription, one per editor. Readers and Contributors need none. In an organization, membership is the seat. See Collaborators and seats.

Workspace — where your sites, content and billing live: your personal workspace, or an organization you share with others. Switch between them from your avatar menu. See Organizations.

What these terms are not

• A section is not a freeform area you design — it's a structured unit whose look comes from the Foundation.
• A template isn't something you rebuild — you make it yours by changing its content, branding, and settings.
• A folder is not a file folder on your disk — it's a container for content that controls what flows to a site.
• The library is not just a media store — it's structured content (Articles, Events, People…).
