Troubleshooting
Simple fixes for the most common surprises while building your website.
I changed something, but my live website looks the same
Two common reasons:
- You haven't published yet. Your edits stay in your private draft until you press Publish. Nothing changes online until then.
- You published just one page, but the change was website-wide. Things like your phone number, colours and logo are website settings. If you change one of those and publish a single page, the change won't go live. Publish your whole website, or choose to include website settings, and it will appear.
I can't publish
Before publishing, SnabbSajt checks a short list and points out anything that would make a weak website. To get past it:
- Empty home page - add at least one section to your home page.
- No way to be contacted - add a contact, booking or lead form section so visitors can reach you.
- Missing phone number - if your goal is to get calls, add a phone number under Settings → Contact details.
- Placeholder text - replace any leftover sample text in curly brackets, like
{your service here}.
The first three must be fixed. Placeholder text is a warning you can choose to pass.
My article disappeared from the website
Unpublishing a news post takes it offline straight away. If you hid or unpublished an article and want it back, publish it again.
Editing on my phone feels cramped
Editing works on a phone, but it's more comfortable on a larger screen while we keep improving the phone layout. If you can, make bigger changes on a computer or tablet.
How does my website look on a computer?
You can check that from your phone. Turn on Preview in the editor and two buttons appear at the bottom of the screen: Mobile and Desktop. Desktop shows the full computer layout scaled down to fit your screen - the text is small, but you see how the page splits into columns, just as a visitor on a computer sees it. Press Mobile again, or turn Preview off, to keep editing.
One exception: a section built to fill the whole screen (a full-screen top image, for example) comes out shorter here than it will on a real computer. To judge that height, open your website on a computer.
There's no drag-to-reorder
To move a section up or down, use the up and down arrows on the section. Dragging sections around the page is turned off for now - the arrows do the same job.
