Unpublishing Your Site (Taking it Offline)



There are several ways to hide your website or take it offline while you are working on it.



Under Construction



1. Create an Under Construction page. We offer an Under Construction Template in the Template Picker.

2. Assign that page as your home page by clicking Change Home Page.

3. Once you do that, you will want to hide your other pages from the navbar so they don't show up as links on your home page.



Hiding Pages

Details on hiding pages on your NavBar can be found through the Hidden Pages article. There are two locations from where you can hide pages on your NavBar. The Site Manager, beside each page name, and in the Site Builder under Page Properties.



Password Protecting the whole Website



1. Go to the Build %26amp; Edit section of your account and click Edit for any page on your website that you want to restrict access to.

2. Select Page Properties at the top of the page in the Edit Mode and the select the option Viewable By...

3. A pop-over will display that contains a drop down menu listing all of your Groups. The drop down will also display Master Password. This is an option available only to Premium Users, and is not available on free accounts.



Note - if you have friends listed in your My Friends section in your account (in the COMMUNITY tab) then they will be able to view these pages if you set them to ';viewable by: friends.'; If you wish to use the Master Password option, and do not have Premium Services then you will need to purchase the Starter, Enhanced, or Pro package.

You have to sign up for their ';Password Protection feature'; that would allow only people with a password to see your site.
