    Question A setting in Web Designer that makes sites non-crawlable by search engines?

    Hello:
    Is there a setting in Web Designer that makes a site non-crawlable by search engines? If so, how can one find it to deactivate it, please? And can it be left active for merely one page within a site? Your feedback would be much appreciated please.

    By default sites are crawlable

    For each page Placeholder code, add:
    Code:
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
    <meta name="robots" content="nofollow" />
    <meta name="robots" content="none" />
    For the page you want to be indexed, don't add anything.

    Thanks Gary for making the location clear.
    It would actually be the HTML code (head)

    Gary's probably making the same mistake that I do many times. To me the Head button should be above the Body button, so I regularly click the wrong button by mistake

    Same here - really wish Xara would change the order!

    I remember by viewing the Body as visible (and important) and the Head as behaviour.
