Take your pages offline
Sometimes you don’t want your pages showing: you’re closed for the season, mid-renovation, or you set things up before you were ready. One switch takes everything offline, and one click puts it back.
The rule — switching off is free, on every plan, and nothing you’ve made is deleted.
How it works
- Open Settings → Site settings. The switch is the first thing on the page.
- Press Take my pages offline.
- Read the list of what stops, then confirm.
- To come back, press Put my pages back online. That one takes effect straight away.
Good to know
- What stops: your link shows “page not found”, your own web address stops working, nobody can read your menu, and search engines drop the pages until you’re back.
- What keeps working: quotes you’ve already sent. Taking your pages down never breaks something a customer is already holding.
- Nothing is deleted. Your menu, photos, prices and settings all stay exactly as they are.
- Only owners can use this switch.
- Getting set up doesn’t count this against you. Your menu row says “ready, but offline” instead of “up” — it stays ticked, because switching off is a choice, not an unfinished job.
- It takes effect right away — guests stop seeing your pages within seconds, not hours.
