Publishing your site

Put your site live on the web with a free Mr Create subdomain.

Publishing takes a snapshot of your current draft and puts it on the web at a free Mr Create address. It's instant, costs no credits, and anyone can visit the page — no login needed.

Until you publish (and every time after), your edits stay private. The live site only changes when you publish again.

Publish for the first time#

  1. In the site editor toolbar, click Publish. (It's disabled while the site is generating or has no sections yet.)
  2. In the popover — "Publish your project" — click Deploy now.
  3. When the "Published" toast appears, click Open to see your live site in a new tab.
Note

On a shared business, publishing also requires the owner to enable Can publish website for your access. If you don't have that permission, tap or click Publish to see the explanation, then ask the owner to update your access in Share.

Your free web address#

Every site gets its own address on the Mr Create domain. By default it's built from your business name plus a random 6-character ending — something like joes-coffee-x7k2p9.mrcreate.com. You can copy it any time from the publish popover.

Choosing your web address#

On Plus and Pro you can pick the address yourself, so the site lives at something like joes-coffee.mrcreate.com instead. Only the business owner can change it.

  1. Open the Publish popover.
  2. Before your first deploy, click Edit next to the address. Once the site is live, click the pencil icon on the address row instead.
  3. Type the address you want. Mr Create checks availability as you type and shows Available when the name is free.
  4. Click Save address.

Addresses use letters, numbers, and hyphens, are 3–63 characters, and can't start or end with a hyphen or contain two hyphens in a row. Some names are reserved and can't be claimed.

Warning

Changing the address of a site that's already published takes effect immediately. The old address stops working straight away, so links, QR codes, and search results pointing at it will break — and the old name goes back into the pool for someone else to claim. The dialog warns you and the button reads Rename anyway when this applies.

Note

On the Free plan the address is generated automatically and can't be changed. Upgrade to pick your own, or connect a custom domain — your Mr Create address keeps working alongside it.

Updating your live site#

Draft changes — chat edits, annotations, direct edits, version restores, even a full regeneration — never touch the live page on their own.

  1. Open the Publish popover (the button shows a check icon once you're live).
  2. Click Republish.

Give it a minute: published pages are cached, so visitors can keep seeing the previous version for up to about 60 seconds after you republish.

Taking a site offline#

There is no unpublish button. Once live, a site stays up until you delete it — deleting the site makes its public address stop working right away (allowing for that same short cache window). If a custom domain is connected, it stays live while a replacement is being prepared and switches only after the new domain is ready. Deleting the site (or the whole business) disconnects its domain too. For a domain bought through Mr Create, contact support before deletion if you want to move it to another site.

Warning

Deleting a site from the sites list is immediate — there's no confirmation step, and the site and its generated images are removed.

Search engines and sharing#

Your published site can be found and indexed by Google — nothing blocks search engines from crawling it.

Links to your site unfurl into a preview card when shared — on X, Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, and most other places. The card shows your site's name, the page title, and a screenshot of the published page.

Tip

The screenshot is captured shortly after each publish, so if you share within the first few minutes the card can appear without an image. Republishing refreshes the screenshot the same way. Social platforms cache previews per link, so an updated design may take a while to show up where the link was already shared.

A few honest limitations to know about:

  • The browser-tab title is the site name the AI chose during generation; there's no field to edit it yet.
  • Mr Create doesn't currently generate a sitemap or meta description for your site, so Google writes its own snippet from your page text.
  • You can't upload a favicon for your site yet — browser tabs show the Mr Create icon.
  • If you connect a custom domain, the site stays reachable at both addresses.

Visitors can read everything on your site even with JavaScript turned off; only interactive touches like mobile menus need it.
