Domain Presets

Andreas Duschl edited this page Jun 4, 2026 · 3 revisions

Domain presets adjust labels, media ordering, gallery shape, and project facet fields for common archive types.

Use a preset with:

cr4te build -i path/to/Creators -o path/to/site --domain music

Available domains:

  • creator
  • art
  • music
  • film
  • book
  • model

creator

The neutral default. It keeps generic labels:

  • Creator / Creators
  • Project / Projects

It does not add domain-specific project facets.

music

Music maps creators to musicians and projects to albums.

Notable behavior:

  • Labels: Musician / Musicians, Album / Albums
  • Audio appears first in media sections
  • Project cards use a square aspect ratio
  • Project facets include studios, cover artists, genres, producers, composers, musicians, labels, and instruments

art

Art maps creators to artists and projects to works.

Notable behavior:

  • Labels: Artist / Artists, Work / Works
  • Project cards use a square aspect ratio
  • Project facets include genres, mediums, materials, exhibitions, and periods

film

Film maps creators to directors and projects to movies.

Notable behavior:

  • Labels: Director / Directors, Movie / Movies
  • Video appears first in media sections
  • Project cards use a poster-like aspect ratio
  • Audio section label becomes Soundtrack
  • Project facets include studios, genres, actors, producers, editors, cinematographers, score composers, visual effects, writers, and costume designers

book

Book maps creators to authors and projects to books.

Notable behavior:

  • Creator label: Author
  • Project labels: Book / Books
  • Documents appear first in media sections
  • Project cards use a book-cover aspect ratio
  • Project facets include languages, publishers, editors, translators, ISBNs, citations, cover artists, and genres

model

Model maps creators to models and projects to scenes.

Notable behavior:

  • Labels: Model / Models, Scene / Scenes
  • Collaboration member label becomes Featuring
  • Project facets include photographers, studios, designers, poses, makeup artists, stylists, brands, and magazines

Domain Overrides and Existing Metadata

Domain presets are one way to produce the resolved configuration. A saved config file should be self-contained for later builds.

When a CLI domain override is applied, cr4te replaces the active project facet field set. Empty stale facets are removed from project metadata; stale facets with values are kept so user-entered metadata is not lost accidentally.
