Deploying a live site means taking what you have built and making it available on the internet for everyone to access. Once you deploy a live site, your pages can be opened using a real link in any browser.
In this guide, you will learn how to deploy a live site step by step, even if you have never done it before.
What Does It Mean to Deploy a Live Site?
To deploy a live site means to publish your project so it can be viewed online.
Instead of staying in preview mode, your site gets a live URL that anyone can visit.
With AppForceStudio, you can deploy a website quickly and also connect a custom domain if you want.
Before You Deploy a Live Site
Before you deploy your live site, take a few minutes to review your project. This helps avoid broken pages or navigation issues.
Check Your Pages
- Open every page in your project.
- Confirm the text is correct.
- Confirm images and sections are visible.
- Make sure nothing important is missing.
Check Navigation and Buttons
- Make sure every button leads somewhere.
- Confirm links open the correct screen or page.
- Remove unused or broken buttons.
Preview the Full Flow
- Use Preview mode.
- Click through your site like a real visitor.
- Check both mobile and web views.
Step-by-Step: How to Deploy a Live Site
1: Open Your Playground
Log into AppForceStudio on the web or mobile and open the project you want to deploy.
Step 2: Do a Final Preview
Switch to Preview mode and test the full site again.
Confirm spacing, layout, and navigation are correct.
Step 3: Go to the Deploy Section
Inside your project, find the Deploy Website option.

After deployment, confirm:
