Redirects
Page redirects are essential for retaining SEO ranking when URLs change. We support 301 (permanent) and 302 (temporary) redirects.

SEO can be influenced by many factors including social signals. Many BaseKit users have one or more social media accounts associated with their site.
The BaseKit site profile includes fields for many common social media applications and BaseKit templates can display these links as icons when the field contains a valid URL.
Facebook images can be imported directly from the image source dialogue box.
