Your website
BalieSite
Under Site you build your public website. A site is a set of pages; a page is a list of sections, such as a heading with an image, text, opening hours or a booking button. You write every page in each language you turned on, and visitors get a language switch.
Your site is at your-name.boneiru.online from the start. You can also use a
domain name you own: see Site settings and domains.
The site screen
Section titled “The site screen”This site shows:
- Address: where your site answers. Open it to look at the public site.
- Status: Published or Not published. Until you publish the site, visitors see a short notice instead of your pages.
- Languages, Theme and Own domains: set under Site settings.
Pages lists every page with its Title, its place in the Navigation (Shown or Hidden) and its state (Draft when it has changes that are not published yet).
If Site says The site is not set up yet, your organisation has no website in its plan yet. Ask us.
