Enter your login credentials to access your site.

Sharing with Visitors During your trial period:

  • Your site remains private by default
  • Only site owners and contributors can access it
  • Others will see the login page when trying to visit

Setting Up Visitor Access To share your site with friends and family:

  1. Set up a site-wide password
  2. Share your built-in domain (without "/config" at the end)
  3. Provide visitors with the password

Important Notes

  • Trial sites remain hidden from search engines while password-protected
  • To make your site public, upgrade to a paid service
  • Contributors need separate permissions for editing capabilities

Remember, this password-protected sharing method allows others to view and test your site without granting them editing permissions.
