Publishing & SEO
A Freeform page is published the same way as any other page - on your BlnkSpace address or your own domain. The published page is drawn by the same engine as the editor, so it looks exactly like what you built.
Edits to a published page reach visitors within about a minute. Title, description and social preview settings work the same as for block pages - see SEO & metadata.
Built for search engines and screen readers
A free-form design is still published as a properly structured page:
| What | How Freeform handles it |
|---|---|
| Reading order | The page’s text is ordered the way people read it (top to bottom, columns card by card), not the order items were added. Screen readers and keyboard Tab follow it. |
| Headings | Large text becomes a heading automatically: the biggest text near the top is the page title (H1), other large text becomes H2. Change any text’s type under Properties → Text → Type. |
| Landmarks | The page is marked as the main content. Give frames a Role (Header, Navigation, Footer…) to mark the rest - see Frames & layout. |
| Links | Links in text and whole-item links are real links that search engines can follow. Unsafe link types are refused. |
| Images | Add a description (alt text) under Properties → Image. |
| Phones | Phones are sent the phone version and computers the desktop version, so each gets one clean copy of the page. |
Loading speed
- The page is laid out correctly from the very first moment it appears, before any scripts have run.
- Images near the top load first; images further down load as the visitor scrolls towards them.
- The 3D engine is only downloaded by pages that contain a 3D scene, and only after the page has appeared.
For the fastest pages, keep images reasonably sized and hosted somewhere fast, and use 3D scenes where they add something - they are the heaviest part of a page.
