How to publish your website

Disclaimer: The new Website Builder is evolving quickly as we continue to implement customer feedback. Some details in this article may no longer reflect the current experience; we appreciate your patience while we update things.

Once your site design is done, publishing is the final step to make your website live and accessible to your readers.

This article covers the new Website Builder, available to all users. While the Website Builder (Legacy) remains available for accounts created before July 15, 2025, the new builder provides a more streamlined, powerful way to customize your site.

Publishing options for the Website Builder are found in the right corner of the top navbar. Click the arrow next to Publish to access them (shown below).


Remember before publishing 

Before publishing, make sure to:

  • Switch between Desktop and Mobile views using options in the top navbar to confirm your site looks great on all devices.
  • Enable the pages you want to be live (step 2 below). If a page is not enabled, attempting to view it on your live site will result in a 404 error.

How to publish your website

  1. When you're ready to make your website live, click Publish in the top navbar to access the publishing options.



  2. Select the parts of your site to publish:
    • This page only: Publishes only the page currently open on the canvas.
    • All pages: Publishes every page in your site.
    • Select Pages: Opens a dropdown list so you can choose specific pages. A number at the top will indicate how many pages you’ve selected. 
    • Exit publishing options: You can also click the arrow next to Select Pages to return to the main menu.

Note: If you don’t select specific pages or check All Pages, only the current page open in the builder will be published.
  1. Click Preview draft site to review your changes before going live.

  2. When everything looks good, click Publish to live site.

  3. Visit your site URL to confirm the updates are live.
