Full feature detail

What this part of the platform covers.

Free

Easy Site Builder

Build your cottage food website with an intuitive visual block editor — no coding required. Drag and drop content blocks, customize layouts, and preview changes in real time. Choose from professionally designed page templates to get started quickly.

Free

Custom Colors & Theme Controls

Start with a polished theme, then tune the color system across the storefront without writing code. Custom color and theme-control availability follows the active admin plan matrix, so plan labels stay aligned with the current offering.

Free

Public Event Calendar

Publish selected events from Planner while keeping internal tasks and private events separate. Event details show the full image proportions, descriptions, and a Google Maps link when the address is public. Location privacy settings still control which address details customers see.

Pro

Homepage Hero Layouts

Change the first impression of the storefront without rebuilding the page. Hero layouts provide polished arrangements for a primary message, imagery, calls to action, and featured shopping paths across desktop and mobile.

Scale

Custom CSS

Go beyond the visual theme controls with custom CSS for highly specific brand and layout requirements. It is intended for shops and partners that need precise presentation control while keeping Cottage CMS commerce and content tools underneath.

Free

Custom Fonts

Elevate your brand with custom typography from a curated library of professional web fonts for headings and body text. Each font is optimized for readability and performance across devices, and the displayed plan follows the active admin feature matrix.

Free

Mobile Optimized

Responsive layouts adapt the storefront to phones, tablets, and desktops. Customers can browse product photos, choose options, and complete checkout from the device they use to discover your shop.

Pro

Custom Domain

Establish a professional brand with your own custom domain name. Bring an existing domain or search and purchase a new one during setup, then connect it to Cottage CMS with guided DNS and automatic HTTPS. Domains are purchased separately from the software plan.

Free

Published Date Controls

Keep evergreen and scheduled content accurate by managing the published date shown to visitors and search engines. The setting helps content teams maintain a trustworthy timeline without recreating a page or post.

Pro

Google Search Console Setup

Connect Google Search Console with guided site verification and sitemap submission. This gives search engines a clear path to discover your products and content while giving you access to Google’s indexing and search-performance tools.

Pro

Domain Renewal Reminders

Protect the address customers already know with proactive renewal reminders. Cottage CMS surfaces upcoming managed-domain deadlines so a missed registrar notice is less likely to interrupt the storefront or business email.

Free

Lightning Fast, Secure & Reliable

Your storefront runs on Cloudflare’s global network with automatic HTTPS. Cottage CMS manages hosting and platform updates, so you can maintain your shop without configuring your own web server.

Paid expansion
