Basics of Zoho Sites - Publish

You start building your website by choosing a template, adding elements and sections to it, and customizing it further. Once you complete designing your website, it is ready to publish. Before you do, thoroughly check your website for any inconsistencies or mistakes related to content, alignment, or layout. You can preview your website before clicking the Publish button.

Preview

View the preview of your website before you publish it to see how your site looks and functions for the visitors, and to ensure there are no mistakes.

Click the Preview icon in the top-right corner of your builder header to generate a replica of your website.
Every website you create is automatically optimized for mobile and tablet. Your website will look great on phones, tablets, and desktops.
You can preview your website to see how it will look on these devices.

Publish

If the preview of the website looks good, get ready to take your website live. Users will be able to visit your website regardless of the device they are using. Remember that our templates are automatically optimized for all devices. You can publish your website and make subsequent edits by clicking Publish in the top-right corner of your builder.

Notes: You will need a domain name before your site goes live. An ideal domain name would be one that is specific to the nature of your website. If you do not have a domain already, you will need to configure one.

Configuring your domain

When you click the Publish button for the first time, you will be able to choose from the following domain options:

Create a free sub domain.
Buy a new domain name.
Map your existing domain.

Start tracking your website metrics today

Use PageSense to understand what your visitors are looking for, how they are behaving, and where they are facing problems on your website.

Ready to improve your website's performance?

Install the PageSense code snippet on your site in a matter of minutes and start collecting in-depth data about the website visitors to grow your business.

Track and measure every business goal

Set up goals in PageSense to measure every single action performed by visitors on your website like button or link clicks, form submissions, and page engagements.

Understand the customer journey on your website

Create funnels in PageSense to quickly see which pages visitors use to enter your website, where they navigate to next, and which pages they decide to leave without converting.

Visualize your visitor's behavior with color codes

Set up heatmaps in PageSense to see where users have clicked more, how far they've scrolled, and on which parts of a page they've spent the most time using color-coded patterns in reports.

Measure customer engagement with your web forms

Use form analytics in PageSense to see how people interact with different fields in your form, whether they complete the form successfully or not, and where exactly they drop out on your form.

Record real visitor interactions on your website

Use session recordings in PageSense to watch a video of all the visitor actions performed on your website including the pages they navigate, the buttons they click, the UX issues they face, and more.

Test and optimize webpages for better conversions

Run A/B or Split URL tests in PageSense to figure out which version of your web page works best for your business and results in the best conversion rate.

Give each customer a unique website experience

Use personalization in PageSense to deliver customized versions of your website for every individual customer based on their demographics, local weather, browsing history, and more.

Grow your business through customer feedback

Run polls on your website using PageSense to understand what your customers think about your products/services and what needs improvement on your site.

Send timely updates that customers love

Use web push notifications in PageSense to schedule and notify your customers about an upcoming flash sale, product releases, promotional coupons, and a lot more that can spark conversions on your website.

Advertise your business to website visitors

Use pop-ups in PageSense to instantly grab the attention of visitors by showing attractive signup offers, coupon code discounts, or email newsletters that can eventually convert them into subscribers.

Access more advanced settings in PageSense

Use PageSense's advanced features like creating mutually exclusive groups, enabling cross-domain tracking, configuring customized project JS, and more to get deeper insights about your website.

Try easy-to-use extensions
