Yes. A favicon is the small picture that shows next to your website's name in the browser tab and in bookmarks. You choose a picture in File > Edit Publishing Settings, and EverWeb makes the favicon file from it when you publish.
Add a favicon
- Make a square picture, such as your logo or its first letter, at least 64 by 64 pixels. Save it as a PNG or JPEG. Keep the design simple: it shows very small.
- Drag the picture into EverWeb's Assets list. It goes under Images.
- Go to File > Edit Publishing Settings and scroll down to Favicon.
- Click the button next to Favicon and choose your picture.
- Publish your website.
EverWeb turns your picture into a file called favicon.ico in your website's main folder and adds it to every page.
Which files work
- Use a picture file, such as PNG or JPEG. The Favicon button only lists pictures in Images in your Assets list.
- A file in External Files doesn't appear, even if it's an
.icofile. If you already have a favicon.ico, use a PNG of the same design instead. EverWeb makes the .ico file for you.
Check that it worked
Go to yourdomain.com/favicon.ico in your browser, with your own domain (for example everwebapp.com/favicon.ico). If you can see your icon, it was published correctly.
Browsers keep the old icon for a while. Safari in particular can take several days to show a new favicon, even when it's published correctly.
Not there? Choose the picture again next to Favicon, then go to File > Publish Entire Site.
