Nine topics, one guide.

Getting started.

Install Kaleta, pick a starter site and find your way around the admin.

Add sections, edit text on the canvas, style for every screen size and publish.

Colours, fonts, shared classes and components that keep the whole site consistent.

Header, footer and menus.

Build the parts every page shares and the menus that link them.

Collections and search.

Your own content types with item pages, filtered lists and site search.

News, forms and company.

02

Page builder.

Add sections, edit text on the canvas, style for every screen size and publish.

Page builder basics

The canvas is the real page. Add elements and ready-made sections, move them by dragging, edit text in place and publish when you are ready.

Styling and responsive design

Set layout, spacing, typography and background per element – separately for desktop, tablet and mobile, and for hover and press.

Elements and ready-made sections

Beyond headings, text and images: galleries, tabs, accordions, carousels, maps, pop-ups, counters, countdowns and more – plus display conditions.

Media library

Upload images and attachments, sort them into folders, describe them for screen readers, set the crop focal point and delete what the site no longer uses.

Pages: settings, trash and copies

Every page has its own search-engine title, sharing image and visibility. Deleted pages wait 30 days in the trash; duplicates copy the whole build.

06

News, forms and company.

The company blog, enquiry forms, newsletters and company details.

News: the company blog

Categories, tags, scheduled publishing, version history and a trash – with SEO that takes care of itself.

Forms and enquiries

Add an enquiry form in the builder. Messages land in Enquiries and your inbox; spam is stopped without CAPTCHA or cookies.

Leads: steps, calculators and triage

Multi-step forms, conditions and price estimates; enquiries sorted with a drafted reply; next steps after sending; calls counted as leads; testimonials with consent.

Customers: contacts and companies

One record per customer across enquiries, bookings and newsletter sign-ups: a timeline, companies, merging, CSV import and export, who can open it, retention and personal data requests.

Sales pipeline and deals

Deals on a board and in a list, from an enquiry or by hand: stages from New to Won or Lost, comments, tasks and a responsible person, privacy rules, and reports with counts only.

Online booking of appointments

Services, the people who provide them, free times and a booking form on the site – confirmations, cancel links and reminders, no payments.

Sending e-mail

Send the site's e-mail through your hosting or your own SMTP server, set the sender, send a test message and check what went out.

Newsletter: sign-ups and sending

Collect confirmed e-mail addresses with double opt-in, send them your latest news in an e-mail styled by your design system – or pass them to Brevo, MailerLite, Mailchimp, Ecomail, SmartEmailing or any service via a webhook.

Business details and opening hours

Business details keeps your company and opening hours, the facts and the claims in one place. The Company details element shows them on the site and search engines get them as structured data.

Privacy and cookies

Choose the built-in cookie bar, an external consent tool or none, add marketing codes, log consents and create a privacy policy from a template.

09

Administration.

Users and roles, moving from WordPress, backups and updates.

Users, roles and sign-in security

Administrators, editors and news authors – plus custom roles with a chosen set of sections, two-factor sign-in and passkeys.

Move from WordPress

Upload a WordPress export: posts become news, pages can go straight into the builder, menus, WooCommerce products and Polylang or WPML languages come along, images move to Media and old addresses redirect.

Moving from Ghost, Blogger, Joomla, Drupal or Webflow

Bring posts, pages, categories, tags and images from another system, with redirects from the old addresses.

Backups, updates and site export

Daily automatic backups when something changed, encrypted off-site copies of the database (opened only by your recovery key) and copies of the media over FTPS or S3, signed updates on the Latest or Stable channel, and moving a whole site to another Kaleta installation.

Site health, alerts and firewall

What the site does by itself and how it tells you when something breaks: System status, background jobs, alert e-mails, the domain and mail check, updates that undo themselves, the firewall and unused accounts.

Fleet console: all your sites on one screen

Turn one Kaleta installation into the console of your other sites: hourly signed reports, sites that need attention first, uptime checks, staged updates and a monthly report e-mail for each site's owner.

Shared design kit across your sites

Keep design tokens, classes, components and saved sections on the fleet console and offer each new version to your sites as drafts.

Blueprints

Set a site up for a kind of business in one step – twenty blueprints from a software company to a restaurant, or one Claude makes with you: the collections it needs, questions for the owner, checks in the site audit and instructions for Claude.

Integrations: Google, search data and the CRM

Administration → Integrations connects Google, Bing, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Raynet: Business Profile hours, posts and reviews, search data in Statistics, enquiries to a sheet and the CRM, social post drafts.

Upkeep and EU duties

Links that heal themselves, 404s that fix themselves, media clean-up, content check, translation overview, bulk editing, cookie scanner, personal data requests, whistleblowing channel and password-protected pages.
