When you like the page, the “Go live” button, in the edit bar, publishes it at its address. You do it yourself, without writing to anyone. Going live is paid once per site, 150 credits ($15): the address, the hosting and the backup are included, and later launches of the same site aren’t charged.
An address in your name
The panel suggests an address drawn from the name that opens your description: “Hangar Padel, padel club in Perpignan” gives hangar-padel. You can change it before publishing. Your site is then served at hangar-padel.29webs.com.
A few rules:
- 3 to 40 characters, in lowercase letters, digits and single hyphens;
- some names are reserved, such as
www,adminorcompte, and an address already taken by another site is refused; - one address per site: to change it, first take the site down, then put it back online under the new name.
A page still waiting for images doesn’t go out. Create them, or drop your own photos in their place, then try again.
Updating, taking down
Your edits don’t show up on the live site by themselves. Once the page is fixed, the button, now “Update”, publishes the new version. Two launches of the same site must be at least one minute apart.
The new version replaces the old one in one go: a visitor never lands on a half-copied site. Depending on caches, the page can take up to a minute to change for them, and a replaced image up to an hour.
“Take down” stops serving the site and erases its online copy. The page stays in the studio, and you can put it back online whenever you like. The “Projects” view lists your sites, in progress and live.
A site that stands without the studio
When you go live, the page, its images, its background video, its style sheets and its motion script are copied and served separately, outside the studio. So your site stays online even when the studio is closed.
The style sheets leave frozen with it. If the studio’s library changes afterwards, your live site doesn’t move until you update it.
Your own domain name
The studio doesn’t sell domain names and doesn’t manage them. You buy yours from a registrar, in your name, and you remain its owner. Our guide to choosing a domain name explains how to choose and protect it.
To connect it to your site, write to the 29webs team: they plug it in after checking that it really is yours. You can’t declare it on your own in the studio, and that is deliberate. A domain declared without proof would lock out its real owner, and turn our addresses into redirects to any site at all, a gift to phishing.
Once your domain is connected, the site is served only at that address. The old one, on 29webs.com, sends visitors to it for good, through a permanent redirect (301). Search engines thus see a single address: Google treats a 301 redirect as a sign that the target is the right address, and that is the one it shows in its results (Google Search Central, 2026).
Before connecting a domain
A few checks will spare you an outage:
- Find your way back into your registrar, the username and password of the account where you bought the domain. That is where its DNS zone is set, the list of records that say where each address goes.
- Write down the existing records before touching anything, especially the MX ones, which route your email. One record erased by mistake, and your email stops reaching you. Only create or change what the team tells you.
- **Know that the bare domain and the
wwwaren’t set the same way.** A site hosted elsewhere is often connected through a CNAME record. Yet DNS rules forbid a name that carries a CNAME from carrying other data too (RFC 1912), and the bare domain,your-name.com, always carries some, if only its name servers and often your email. That is why many sites are served onwww.your-name.com, with the bare domain pointing to it when the registrar allows. - Allow for a delay. Each DNS record carries a lifetime, the TTL, during which servers that have already read it keep the old value in memory. The longer it is, the longer a change takes to show everywhere, as the Cloudflare documentation notes. Avoid connecting your domain the day before a campaign.
- Turn on automatic renewal. A domain that expires takes the site down with it.
Once the domain is active, put the new address everywhere: Google business profile, social networks, email signature, business cards.
The “made by 29webs” signature
Every published site carries, in small type in its footer, a “made by 29webs” line, which leads to 29webs.com. It takes the color of your footer, at half opacity, so as not to clash with your palette. The preview already shows it, where it will go.
To remove it, tick the “Without the ‘made by 29webs’ signature” option in the launch panel. It is paid once per site, 100 credits ($10), at launch. Once taken, it applies to the preview and to every later update of that site. It isn’t refunded afterwards. If your balance isn’t enough, the site doesn’t go live, and the panel says so.
What remains your responsibility
The published site is yours, and what it says commits you. Before publishing:
- the legal notices: a professional site carries them, and the studio doesn’t draft them for you. Our guide to legal notices says what they contain;
- proofreading: the copy, the prices, the opening hours, and where each button leads, by clicking on it from a phone.
In short: one click puts your site online at its address, at no extra charge, and it stays there even when the studio is closed. Your own domain is connected with the team, after checking; the “made by 29webs” signature is removed once and for all, at the price shown.
