Status Page Designer
The Status Page Designer is a split-pane editor where you configure your status page on the left and see a live preview on the right.
Getting started
- Go to Status Pages in the sidebar.
- Click Create Status Page (or select an existing one and click Edit).
- The designer opens with two tabs: Settings and Components.
Settings tab
The Settings tab controls the overall appearance and behavior of your status page.
General
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Title of your status page. |
| Slug | URL-friendly identifier. Appears in the status page URL. |
| Description | Short description shown below the title. |
| Public | Toggle to make the page visible to anyone. |
Privacy
Making a page private (unchecking Make this status page public) hides it from the public URL. Visitors who reach a private page are shown an access screen where they can:
- Enter the access password you set, or
- Sign in with an isthisthing.online account that is a member of the page's workspace.
Workspace members can always view a private page while signed in. Private pages work the same way on a custom domain.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Access Password | Private status pages always require an access password. Use Set new password to renew it at any time without entering the old one. Making the page public clears the password. |
Branding
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Logo URL | URL to an image displayed in the page header. |
| Brand Color | Primary accent color (hex value). |
| Contact Email | Email shown to visitors for support inquiries. |
Theme
Choose from seven built-in themes:
| Theme | Style |
|---|---|
| Dark | Clean dark mode design. Free plan default. |
| Corporate | Professional light theme with structured layout. |
| Aurora | Gradient accents with a modern feel. |
| Minimal | Stripped-down design focused on readability. |
| Terminal | Monospace, terminal-inspired aesthetic. |
| Timeline | Incident history displayed as a chronological timeline. |
| Grid | Card-based layout for components. |
Free plan includes Dark only. Starter and above unlock all themes.
SEO
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Meta Title | Custom <title> tag for search engines. |
| Meta Description | Custom <meta description> for search results. |
Leave these empty to use the page name and description automatically.
Announcement
An optional banner displayed at the top of your status page. Use it for maintenance notices or important updates.
Advanced
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Custom Domain | Host on your own domain (Pro/Enterprise). See Custom Domains. |
| Show Powered By | Toggle the "Powered by isthisthing.online" attribution. |
| Show Subscribe Button | Let visitors subscribe to email updates (Pro/Enterprise). |
Components tab
Components represent the services or systems you want to track on your status page.
Adding a component
- Switch to the Components tab.
- Click Add Component.
- Enter a name (e.g., "Website", "API", "Database").
- Optionally link it to a monitor for automatic status updates.
- Click Save.
Component statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operational | Everything is working normally. |
| Degraded Performance | Slower than usual but still functional. |
| Partial Outage | Some users or features are affected. |
| Major Outage | The service is completely down. |
| Under Maintenance | Scheduled maintenance in progress. |
Linked vs. manual components
- Linked — component status updates automatically based on the attached monitor's health.
- Manual — you set the status yourself from the dashboard.
Reordering
Drag components up or down in the list to change their display order on the public page.
Visibility
Toggle a component's visibility to show or hide it from the public page without deleting it.
Live preview
The right side of the designer shows a real-time preview of your status page. Changes to settings, theme, branding, or components appear instantly.
The preview also shows how:
- Active incidents appear.
- Past incidents display in the history.
- Upcoming maintenance windows are listed.
Publishing
Click Save in the designer to publish your changes. Your status page is immediately available at:
