How do I unpublish my Siimple Website?

If you’ve already published your site and need to take it offline, you can unpublish it at any time.

Updated yesterday

Unpublishing removes your site from the live web, but does not delete your work. You can continue editing and republish whenever you’re ready.

How to Unpublish Your Site

  1. Open your site in the Siimple Editor

  2. Click on the Settings tab

  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page

  4. Click Unpublish Site

  5. Click Save

That’s it. Your site will no longer be publicly accessible.


What Happens When You Unpublish?

  • Your website is no longer visible to visitors

  • Your custom domain (if connected) will stop showing your site

  • You will still be charged for your active subscription

  • You can still access and edit your site inside Siimple

  • You can republish anytime with one click


When Would I Unpublish?

You might want to unpublish your site if:

  • You’re redesigning it and don’t want visitors to see updates in progress

  • You’re pausing your business temporarily

  • You published by mistake

  • You need to make major changes before going live again


If you’re unsure whether you should unpublish or just make edits while live, remember: small edits can usually be done while your site stays published. Unpublishing is best for larger changes or temporary downtime.


How to Republish Your Site

If you’ve previously unpublished your site and you're ready to make it live again, you can republish it anytime.

Republishing makes your site publicly accessible again at your existing URL or custom domain.

Open your site in the Siimple Editor

  1. Click the Publish button in the top right corner

  2. Confirm that you want to publish

Your site will go live immediately.
