Your site

Every Vizitka site has an address such as your-name.vizitka.page. On a plan that includes one, you can also connect a domain you own. When the custom domain becomes active, visitors use it as the main address and the Vizitka address redirects there.

Visitors only see what is live. Every change to your site’s code, yours on the dashboard or your coding agent’s, goes on a branch first, and the live site changes only when a branch is merged or somebody with git access pushes to main. The dashboard and your coding agent can open a private preview of a branch at the site’s preview address, such as preview--your-name.vizitka.page.

A merge puts everything on the branch live at once: pages, shared page sections, your tables, the site’s stylesheet, shared translations, and the site’s own JavaScript files and import map. Your own changes go on a branch called draft, which you merge from the banner on Pages or from Branches, where an agent’s branches wait for you too. Discarding a change puts back what visitors already see. Earlier versions stay in each page’s history, and restoring one is a change like any other: it goes live when you merge.

Posts and the rows in your tables don’t use branches. Each table has a rule for which of its rows are out (see Database): a post goes out on its own published date unless you change that, and a row of most other tables as soon as it is saved.

One page can serve as many languages as your plan allows. The default language keeps the ordinary path, such as /services. Every other language uses a prefix, such as /uk/services. The Languages screen appears only when the site has more than one language.

A visitor who opens a language-prefixed address gets that language. An address without a prefix can follow the visitor’s language. Your agent adds or removes languages because it must update the words and links at the same time.

The Site screen holds the site’s name, description, sharing picture, author, theme colour, and other details used in browser tabs, search results, and shared links. A page may provide its own details when it needs to differ.

You can also ask search engines not to list the whole site. Use that while a site is not ready to be found, then switch it off when it is.
