Publish your site

Preview your finished draft and take your venue live on its subdomain.

A screen recording for this guide is coming soon.

Preview before publishing

The Website editor has a live preview next to the editing form. Switch between Desktop and Mobile to check both layouts, and resize the preview to see how it adapts. Nothing in the preview is public — it reflects your current draft, not the published site.

Publish

  1. Open the Website page from the dashboard sidebar.

  2. Review the preview one last time.

  3. Click Publish in the header.

  4. Confirm — your site goes live on your subdomain within seconds.

Publishing snapshots your entire site — pages, menus, deals, hours, and integrations — and puts that snapshot live. Guests see the published snapshot, never your in-progress drafts, so a half-finished edit can never break your live site. Publishing requires an active subscription.

Your subdomain

Every Tabern venue gets a free subdomain like yourvenue.tabern.app. You can change it in Settings — see Subdomains & URLs. Publishing puts your snapshot live on that subdomain instantly.

After publishing

  • Share your link — see Sharing & SEO for the share-link card and metadata.
  • Watch traffic — the Overview page tracks views from day one.
  • Keep iterating — edits save as drafts; publish again whenever you're ready.

For the full lifecycle — unpublish, subscription effects, snapshot behavior — see Publishing and Publishing model.
