Publish your website

What publishing means

While you work, your changes are private. The website other people see online does not change at all. When you're happy, you press Publish, and Sajt makes a fresh public copy of your site. Until that moment, the live site stays exactly as it was.

So you can edit freely. Nothing you change reaches the world until you choose to publish it.

The quick check before you publish

Each time you publish, Sajt runs a friendly check for common mistakes. A few things it will stop and ask you to fix first:

• Your home page is empty, with nothing on it to show.
• There's no way for visitors to reach you — no contact section, booking, or enquiry form.
• Your phone number is missing, when your site is set up mainly to get phone calls.

Other things are only a gentle warning you can pass — for example, leftover sample text in curly brackets, like {your_name}, that was never replaced.

Publish everything, or just one page

You can publish your whole site, or just a single page.

Watch out for one thing: if you change something that appears across the whole site — like your phone number, your colours, or your logo — and then publish only one page, that change will not go live. To push a site-wide change, publish the whole site, or choose to include your site settings when you publish.

Taking a news article offline

If you unpublish a news article, it leaves your live site straight away — there's no delay. So only do it when you're sure.

Next: connect your own web address.
