How do I publish my website?
Make your wedding website visible to guests by publishing it when you're ready to share.
Short answer: Click the "Publish" button in your website builder to make your site live and accessible to guests.
Publishing your entire site
Go to Website > Builder
Review your content in the preview
Click Publish site
Your site is now live at your wedding URL
What happens when you publish
Your website becomes accessible to anyone with the URL
Search engines may be able to find your site (unless you disable indexing)
Changes you make after publishing are reflected immediately
Your RSVP functionality becomes available to guests
Publishing individual pages
You can control which pages are visible:
Edit a specific page
Look for the publish/draft toggle
Set pages to draft to hide them from visitors
Draft pages show "(draft)" in your builder but aren't visible to guests
Unpublishing your site
If you need to take your site offline:
Go to Website > Builder
Click Site settings
Toggle off the publish setting
Click Save
Your site will show a placeholder message instead of your content
Don't forget the navigation menu
Publishing your site makes it accessible, but each page also needs to be added to your navigation menu for guests to find it:
Go to Website > Builder > Site settings
Select the Menu tab
Under Navigation links, check the boxes for pages you want in the menu
Click Save changes
If a page is published but not checked in the navigation links, guests won't see it in the header menu (though it can still be accessed via a direct link).
Tips
Preview your site thoroughly before publishing
Test the RSVP flow before sending invitations
You can make changes after publishing - they apply immediately
Consider password protection if you want to limit access
After publishing, check Site settings > Menu to make sure the right pages appear in your navigation
