Storefront overview
Your storefront is the public-facing side of your marketplace — the website where users browse, create listings, and communicate with each other. Each site gets its own storefront at its unique subdomain (for example, acme.on-yclas.com), or at a custom domain you configure.
Layout
The storefront has a clean, responsive layout that works on desktop and mobile devices.
Navigation bar
The top navigation bar appears on every page and includes:
- Logo / site name — Links to your homepage by default, or to a custom destination if you've configured one under Top bar. When a logo is configured, it replaces the site name.
- Custom nav links — any links you've added under Top bar, placed either directly in the header or grouped under a More dropdown
- Inbox — Your conversations with an unread count badge (visible only when logged in)
- Post listing — Quick shortcut to the create-listing form (visible only when logged in; guests see it only if you've enabled it under Top bar)
- Login / Publish listing — For guests who aren't signed in
- Account menu — For logged-in users, with links to My listings, Inbox, Profile, and Log out
On mobile devices, the navigation collapses into a slide-out sidebar menu that mirrors the same links.
Content area
Each page has a main content area with listings, forms, or information, depending on the page.
Homepage
The homepage is the first thing users see when they visit your marketplace. Every new marketplace opens on a Welcome landing page — a ready-made page built from the pages builder with a hero, search, a "How it works" guide, and a category carousel. You can edit or replace it under Build → Content → Pages.
If your marketplace doesn't have a Welcome page, the homepage falls back to showing the most recent active listings in a responsive card grid:
- Each card shows the listing's first photo (or a placeholder), title, price, and location
- Clicking a card takes the user to the listing detail page
Only active listings
The homepage only shows active listings — listings that are neither closed nor expired. Closed and expired listings are hidden from the homepage and browse page.
Custom pages & footer
Beyond the built-in pages, you can add your own:
- Custom pages — build landing pages, about pages, privacy policies, and terms of service from reusable sections and content blocks under Pages. Each publishes to
/p/{slug}and can be added to storefront navigation via Top bar links. Every new marketplace ships with a Welcome landing page (used as the homepage), plus Terms of Service and Privacy Policy system pages already seeded. - Footer — add a slogan, copyright notice, social media links, and rich-text content blocks under Footer.
