Customize the welcome message in Magento

 
From the Admin interface, select System | ConfiguraIon | General | Design.



This page enables you to customize several items. For now, let's look at the ones that are necessary.

The HTML Head section
Recall that we talked about metadata when creaNng a product. Metadata helps search engines to determine the content of a web page, and to categorize the page. The HTML Head secNon enables you to customize the metadata for your enNre store. The data you enter into the fields on this page will appear in the header of each page in your store. Your shoppers won't see this data, but search engines will.

Default Title
If a page in your site does not have a customized Ntle, then it will use the Ntle given here. For example, when you created products, each Product page used the name of the Product as its Ntle. All of Magento's built-in pages have their own Ntles, and so this field should not aect your system unless you create custom pages.



Default Description
This is your store's descripNon. Some search sites will display this to their searchers. Treat this like a one-sentence markeNng piece designed to enNce searchers to click through to your store.

Default Keywords
Enter keywords that will help search engines to classify your site.

The Header section
The fields in this secNon are used to customize the logo and the welcome message.

Logo Image Src and Alt Text
By default, Magento looks in \skin\frontend\default\default\images\logo.gif for the store's logo. The graphic is 157-by-47 pixels in size. The easiest way to customize your store's logo is to make a direcNon replacement, the same size and file name, and replace the exisNng one.

The field Logo Image Alt holds the alt text for the logo. This will be displayed if the graphic is not displayed.

Welcome Text

Enter your customized welcome message into this field.
