Isn’t this a bit message misleading? Sure, you can customise your site in other ways like adding categories and make change to the site settings but since you can’t customise your site in any way in terms of design I don’t think you can customise _everything_ like is suggested.

Perhaps this would be better?

yeah I think that looks better and feels more controlled in terms of what you can customise as it doesn’t promise the 🌍

Thank you @ondrej, we’ve updated that text and a few others to make them more universally applicable and accurate. Should be live soon.
