A legal notice (Impressum) page is mandatory for websites in Germany and many EU countries. Here's how to create one properly and include all required information.

Creating Your Legal Notice Page

  1. Navigate to the Pages panel and click the + icon
  2. Select Page Layout
  3. Choose Legal Notice (German sites) or Contact (other languages)
  4. Enter your page title
  5. Replace placeholder content with your information
  6. Add the page link to your site footer

Required Information

Every legal notice must include:

  • Business name
  • Complete company address
  • Email address
  • Phone number

Additional Required Information (if applicable):

  • Supervisory authority name and license number
  • Commercial register number
  • Legal form and trade name (for corporations)
  • VAT identification number
  • State registration number
  • Professional association memberships
  • Names of company directors

The legal notice should be easily accessible from every page on your website, typically through a footer link. Keep the information current and accurate to comply with EU regulations.

For corporations and registered businesses, include detailed information about company representation and registration details. Professional service providers must list relevant supervisory authorities and professional associations.

Remember to maintain your legal notice page with up-to-date contact information and business details to ensure continued compliance with local regulations.
