Website status: showing and hiding

A freshly generated website is not live yet. It starts hidden (offline), so you can review and edit it in peace before anyone sees it. When you're happy with it, you turn it on yourself — and you can hide it again any time (e.g. while you're making a bigger change and don't want clients seeing the website mid-edit).

Where

Visibility is controlled in Settings → Company → Website, in the website section there. You'll find:

• The current status: a green dot and Published when the site is live, a grey dot and Hidden when it isn't.
• The public address (your name.bulido.com URL).
• A Visible to the public toggle — flip it on to show the site, off to hide it.
• An Edit button that opens the page builder.

The toggle used to sit in the page builder header; it now lives only here, in Settings. The page builder itself is purely for editing content.

What visitors see when you hide it

At your URL (name.bulido.com), visitors see a neutral message instead of the website: "This page is currently unavailable. Please try again later." No mention of why, no hint that you turned it off.

The contact form also stops working, because there's no page hosting it.

What stays

All your data is safe:

• Copy (hero, about, services, FAQ, contact); every section
• Photo gallery
• Chosen template and colour
• Subdomain (stays reserved; no one will take it)
• SEO settings

To turn it back on, use the same toggle. The website returns exactly as it was before being hidden.

Hiding vs. starting over

Hide (the Visible to the public toggle in Settings → Company → Website) pauses the website while keeping all your data: visitors see "page unavailable", and your copy, gallery, slug and settings all stay put. It's reversible in one click.

There is no in-panel "wipe everything and start over" button. If you genuinely need a clean slate (release the subdomain, delete all photos), write to support and we'll do it manually.

Website in "suspended account" mode

If your Bulido account loses its active subscription, the website is automatically hidden from the public. Visitors to the URL see the same message ("page currently unavailable"), and the dashboard is locked because the account itself has expired.

After you restore the subscription, the website comes back automatically; no need to enable it manually.
