From the first edit to a live site

Editor and preview

Code and design mode edit the same files. Preview runs in the browser. Computed text and styles are protected from destructive visual edits.

Hosting

Publish builds your project and checks the live hosting service. When the service is available it returns a separate live address. If it is unavailable, the panel explains that; ZIP and GitHub export remain available.

Custom domains

The Domain tab lets you search, buy and attach a domain to the project. Attaching a domain is not proof that the published site and its DNS are ready. Check the live address and domain setup before sharing it.

HTTPS / SSL

The live hosting address uses HTTPS. A domain purchase or project attachment alone does not establish a working HTTPS site on your custom domain.

CMS

There is no built-in content collection editor in BOLD Code. Connect your chosen content service in the project’s code when you need one.

Forms

Templates can include a form interface. Connect it to a real submission service before collecting enquiries; a template form is not an inbox.

Analytics and SEO

Add your analytics integration and page metadata in the project. BOLD Code does not automatically give every generated site an analytics dashboard or SEO campaign.

Integrations

Download source as a ZIP or export to a new GitHub repository. Add other integrations in source code. Export is not a promise of continuous two-way GitHub sync.

Check the result before sharing it

1. Preview every page and test the form or checkout you connected.
2. Open Publish and resolve any hosting or build error shown there.
3. Open the returned live address in a new tab. Check the custom domain separately if you use one.
4. Keep private API credentials on your server. Browser code and published assets can be read by visitors.
