Publishing Your Website
How to publish, update, and manage the status of your Bistu website.
Once you've added your business information through the website editor, you're ready to go live.
Publishing for the first time
- Go to Website in the sidebar and click the edit button (or click Update Website from the dashboard)
- Fill in your business details across the editor tabs
- Click Save to publish your site
Your website status changes from Draft to Published, and your site becomes publicly accessible.
Your website URL
When published, your website is available at a unique URL based on your business name. You can find your URL on the dashboard Business Card — click Visit Live Website to open it.
Share this URL on social media, in emails, or anywhere you want customers to find you.
Updating your published site
To make changes to your live website:
- Go to Website in the sidebar and click edit
- Make your changes in any of the editor tabs
- Click Save
Changes take effect immediately — there's no separate publish step for updates.
Website statuses
Your website can be in one of three states:
- Draft — Your site is not yet visible to the public. Only you can see it while editing.
- Published — Your site is live and accessible to anyone with the URL.
- Archived — Your site has been taken offline but your content is preserved.
