Configuring the site
This is a checklist of things to complete prior to your site’s go-live day. Everything in the first sections is yours to configure directly in Floatist. The final section covers items that the Floatist team handles — reach out to support@floatist.com when you’re ready for those.
Brand and site settings
Section titled “Brand and site settings”- Upload your company logo in Settings > Global settings. The logo is used across the marketing site, the booking flow, and generated PDFs — set it once and it applies everywhere.
In Settings > Marketing > Website:
- Add or review the content for your Home, Contact, and About us pages.
- Choose your font, brand color, home page secondary color, and footer color.
- Configure your working hours, Google review link, social links, partner logos, and privacy policy.
- On each boat page in Settings > Fleet, add a rich description, highlights, and specs — content that helps a guest picture being on that boat. This is one of the biggest conversion levers on your site.
- Upload at least 5 high-quality images per boat. If you use an MMK or NauSYS integration, confirm those images are imported. Sort them in your preferred order — the first image appears in the fleet listing and at the top of the boat detail page. See Image specifications for recommended sizes and aspect ratios.
- In Settings > Marketing > Bases and boats, enable each boat for the marketing website. Boats that are not enabled will not appear publicly.
In Settings > Bases:
- Add rich, well-written information for each base. Base content is visible on both the base page and individual boat detail pages, so a good description pays off in two places.
- Add each base’s Google Maps ID so the map embed renders correctly on the base page.
Availability and pricing
Section titled “Availability and pricing”In Settings > Marketing > Availability and pricing:
- Every boat has availability configured. See Boat availability for setup instructions.
- Every boat has pricing configured. See Boat pricing for setup instructions.
Payments
Section titled “Payments”In Settings > Marketing > Payments:
- Configure the first installment percentage — the share of the total due at the time of booking (e.g. 10%).
- Configure the full payment window — if a charter starts within this many days of booking, the full amount is due upfront.
- Add your Adyen merchant ID to accept online payments.
Optional content
Section titled “Optional content”- Add blog posts at Settings > Marketing > Blog posts. Use the Order field on each post to control how posts sort on the public site (lower numbers appear first; leave blank to sort by publication date).
- Add services at Settings > Marketing > Services. The Order field works the same way.
Floatist team to configure
Section titled “Floatist team to configure”These items can only be set up by the Floatist team. Contact support@floatist.com when the sets above are complete.
- Favicon generation and upload — favicon.ico, apple-touch-icon.png, and web-app-manifest files. Note: favicons are cached for weeks. Confirm your final brand assets before requesting this — changes after the fact are not straightforward.
- Redirects from your existing website — Floatist maps your old URLs to new ones so Google preserves your existing rankings. Without this, your site loses all accumulated SEO value on cutover.
- Google Analytics ID configuration.
- Google site verification.
