A couple months ago we ran a poll of what features you wanted on Game Jolt. The clear winner was customizable game pages.

So customizable sites for your games and portfolio you shall have!

We merged the concept of Github Pages and our jam system’s customizable tools to create something we think you’ll enjoy.

Introducing Game Jolt Sites!

Game Jolt Sites are about presenting your game, your way.

Create a fresh new dedicated site for your game or portfolio through our customizable templates, or upload an existing site as a zip file if you’ve already designed one. We’ll host it! You can even set up your own custom domain name to access your Site. You have complete control over all content on the site you create.

Templates to get you on your way

We’ve added a few templates to get you started, including a Redux option that’ll warp you back in time to the days of beautiful 90s web design! It’s also very easy to add your own flair with CSS, HTML, or markdown using the real-time editor!

Embeddable widgets

You can use Widgets to interface with Game Jolt and sell your games directly on their Site pages.

Landing pages for your games

Sites are not intended to replace your game page entirely, but are a secondary option to help you present your game in a more focused light for occasions that call for it. Sites also won’t be searchable in game listings, so you’ll still need an actual Game Jolt game page if you’d like your game to participate in our discoverability features.

How to get started

Create a portfolio from the “Sites” tab on your Dashboard. Spend as much or little time using the content and theme editors to personalize your site. You can also upload the zip of an existing static site.

To create custom game sites or upload your own, click on the Sites tab when managing your game. Ta-da! It’s that easy!

All sites are served over https as secure pages. Make sure all links to embedded content on your pages link to secure URLs.

We can’t wait to see what you do with customizable sites!
