Step 7: Next Steps
We’ve now covered the process for our new Pages in-platform experience that we’d like your feedback on.
If you were to go live with the site you built, the next steps would be to QA your site and then publish it. We’ve outlined these steps below in case you’re curious about the process, but you don’t have to act on these steps.
QA Your Site
Once you’ve built your Pages site, you’ll want to QA it to ensure everything looks and works as expected before integrating it onto your site. Open up the live pages and check a few things:
- Visually, the site looks good, even with different types and lengths of content, and matches your brand’s style guidelines
- The content is correct and free of spelling and grammar mistakes (fields are mapped correctly and any hardcoded copy is reviewed)
- All links work and map to the correct places
Now check the site on a couple of different browsers and your phone.
Publish Your Site
Once you are satisfied with how your live pages look, it’s time to publish your site! Be sure to publish your changes on both the global styles and layout editors, and make sure your live pages look how you want them.
Your site has been using a placeholder domain that was automatically generated when you created it. This lets you view live pages before you set a domain.
Follow the Add a Domain guide to add a domain and assign it to your site. You’ll also need to create a CNAME record pointing to the bridge domain provided in the platform when you added the domain.
Right after you launch your Pages site and before you make any announcements, review it and do some quick testing to ensure everything is working properly.
