# Build, customize, and launch your Pressmaster Newsroom

> Build and customize your Newsroom in minutes, choose a template, apply your branding, configure SEO settings, and connect your domain.

Setting up your Newsroom takes a few minutes. Choose a template, apply your brand, configure your SEO settings, and connect your domain, then Pressmaster automatically populates it with your published content as you write.

## Setup steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Newsroom">
    Log in to Pressmaster and select **Newsroom** from the left-side menu. This opens the Newsroom CMS, where you'll build and manage your Newsroom pages.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a template">
    Click **Add section** on your blank homepage to open the template gallery. Select from premium, conversion-optimized layouts. Start by adding a **Menu** and a **Cover** section, these form the foundation of your Newsroom.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply your branding">
    Click any element to open its settings panel on the right. From here you can adjust color schemes, upload your logo, and customize fonts. Double-click an image element to replace it with your own. Use the drag-and-drop editor to rearrange sections until the layout matches your brand.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the Articles section">
    Select the **Articles** section from the template gallery and add it to your homepage. This section automatically displays your published content, it will appear empty until you publish your first article.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload custom fonts (optional)">
    Go to **Newsroom Settings > Styling** and click **+ Add Font**. Name the font, then upload files for each weight you need (Light, Normal, Medium, Bold, Black). Pressmaster supports OTF, TTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 formats up to 3 MB per file. Save your changes, the font becomes available throughout the CMS immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your meta title and description">
    Go to **Newsroom Settings > General**. Enter a descriptive **Website Title** (50–60 characters) and a **Website Description** (130–160 characters). These appear in Google search results when your Newsroom is indexed, so make them specific and keyword-rich.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your press kit">
    Go to **Newsroom Settings > Press Kit**. Add your company overview, key milestones, logo files, executive bios, and media contact details. See the [press kit guide](/newsroom/press-kit) for a full breakdown of what to include.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your domain">
    Go to **Newsroom Settings > Domain**. You can use a Pressmaster subdomain (e.g., `yourcompany.pressmaster.ai`) or connect your own custom domain. For a branded URL like `news.yourcompany.com`, see the [custom domain guide](/newsroom/custom-domain) for DNS setup instructions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish">
    Save your changes and click **Publish** on each page. Your Newsroom goes live under your configured domain and will automatically display new content every time you publish an article or press release.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How content organization works

Pressmaster automatically categorizes and displays your articles, press releases, and other content in the Articles section as you publish. You don't need to manually add content to your Newsroom, it updates on its own. Use the drag-and-drop editor to adjust the layout and featured content at any time.

## Subscription forms

Every Newsroom includes smart subscription forms that capture reader email addresses. These forms are included automatically, visitors who subscribe become leads you can nurture over time. No additional configuration is needed to activate them.

<Tip>
  Upload your brand fonts under **Newsroom Settings > Styling** before finalizing your design. Applying your company's typeface early ensures every section of your Newsroom is consistent with your visual identity from the start.
