Manage Property Website Settings

Use Settings to manage publishing, website addresses, search previews, sharing, tracking, and the website lifecycle.

Open My Websites, select a website, then select Settings.

The status card shows the current live version and publish time.

Use Publish for draft changes, View site for the preferred live address, and History for published versions.

The Design card shows the current template and the number of remaining template changes.

Select Change template to compare another design. The change keeps property facts, photos, and contact details, then adapts the presentation and generated copy. Review the result in the editor before publishing it.

See Publish, share, and connect a domain for setup instructions.

Use Search & social to edit:

The Google and Facebook previews update while you type. Save and publish again to change the live website metadata. Search engines decide when to revisit a page, so their results may update later.

Use Share your listing to copy the live link, open social sharing options, copy the displayed embed code, or download a QR code.

When a custom domain is active, View site uses it. Confirm the final URL before printing signs or brochures.

Use Tracking & integrations to enter a valid Google Analytics 4 measurement ID or Meta Pixel ID.

Tracking changes start after the next publish. When either ID is present, the public website asks for cookie consent. Google Analytics starts in denied-consent mode, and Meta Pixel does not load until consent is granted.

Leave both fields empty if you do not want third-party tracking or its consent banner. ApplyDesign's own visitor and lead reporting remains available when enabled for the account.

Select Take offline to remove the website from the web while keeping it editable. The draft, versions, addresses, domain setup, leads, and analytics remain available. Publish again when the website should return online.

Choose Archive when you want to keep a website but prevent editing and publishing. Visitors see an unavailable page while content, history, leads, analytics, and domains remain stored. Restore returns it to the Unpublished state; publish it to make it live again.

Choose Delete site only when the website and retained data should be permanently removed after the displayed retention period. Public access stops immediately. Use Cancel deletion during the retention period if the request was a mistake.
