Publishing

Your changes go live when you say so

Take as long as you need on your project. Visitors only see it once you publish, and every new version goes live at the same address.

Domains

Put your site on your own domain

Connect a domain you already own, or buy a new one right in Macaly with credits. Either way, we set up the secure connection for you.

Security

We catch problems before your visitors do

Before you publish, Macaly checks your site for security and SEO issues, then helps you fix anything it finds.

Rollback

Go back to an earlier version

Every project keeps a version history. If something breaks, you can easily roll back to the previous version. And you can unpublish a project at any time.
