Overview

Publishing is the step where you make your website accessible to visitors. As the fifth step in the My Website panel, this page lets you set your site URL (subdomain), check publishing requirements, and take your site live or offline.

Tip
All requirements must be met before you can publish your website. The publishing toggle remains disabled until all requirements are satisfied.
Tip
Your published site will be accessible at .usemindora.com. For example: dr-ayse.usemindora.com

Page Layout

The publishing page consists of two main sections:

Left panel — Site status (live/offline) and URL configuration

Right panel — Publishing requirements checklist

Website URL (Subdomain)

Set the internet address for your website. The slug you choose becomes the first part of your site URL.

URL Format

Your site will be accessible in this format:

.usemindora.com

Slug Rules

Lowercase letters only (a-z)

Numbers (0-9)

Hyphens (-)

Length: 3–50 characters

Spaces, uppercase letters, and special characters are not allowed.

Example slugs:

dr-ayse-yilmazpsychologist-johntherapy-nyc

Checking Availability

After typing in the slug field, click the "Check Availability" button. The system checks whether the slug is already in use by another user.

This slug is available.
This slug is already taken.
Tip
Associate your slug with your name or specialty. This helps visitors find you and contributes to SEO.
Tip
You can change your slug even after publishing. However, the old URL will stop working; you will need to update any previously shared links.

Publishing Requirements

All three requirements below must be met before you can publish your site. Requirements are checked in real-time in the right panel.

Website URL configured

You must have set a subdomain slug.

Bio written (min. 150 characters)

You must fill in the About Me (biography) field in the Profile Editing step.

At least 1 active service

You must have at least one active service in the Service Catalog.

Requirement Status

Met — Green checkmark
Not met — Red cross
Tip
Click the links next to unmet requirements to navigate directly to the relevant page.

Publishing Your Website

When all requirements are met, you can take your site live from the "Website Status" section in the left panel.

Website Status

Live — Your website is open and accessible to visitors.
Offline — Your website is closed to visitors.

Publishing Steps

1

Make sure all requirements are met

All items in the right panel checklist should show green checkmarks.

2

Toggle the "Website Status" switch to on

The switch is only enabled when all requirements are met. If requirements are incomplete, the switch is disabled.

3

Wait for the confirmation message

A green notification "Your website is now live!" will be displayed.

Tip
If you try to toggle the switch before requirements are met, a warning "Please complete all publishing requirements first." will be shown.

Unpublishing Your Website

You can take your site offline at any time. No requirement checks are performed for unpublishing.

Toggle the "Website Status" switch to off.

A notification "Your website is now offline." will be displayed.

Tip
Taking your site offline does not delete your content. Your slug, profile, and all settings are preserved. You can go live again at any time.

URL Actions

When your site URL is configured, two additional action buttons appear:

Copy URL

Copies the full site URL to clipboard. Useful for sharing on social media, email, or messages.

View Site

Opens your published site in a new browser tab. Only visible when the site is live.

Saving Changes

Click the "Save" button at the bottom right of the page to save slug changes. Publishing/unpublishing happens instantly via the toggle.

Save Button States

If no changes have been made, the button is disabled (not clickable).

When the slug is changed, the button becomes active.

During the save operation, the button is disabled and a loading indicator is shown.

After a successful save, a green notification message is displayed.

Version Conflict

If you edited settings simultaneously in another browser tab or device, you may receive a version conflict error when saving. In this case, refresh the page and redo your changes.

Tip
Each successful save increments a version number in the background. This mechanism prevents old data from accidentally overwriting newer changes.

Tips and Best Practices

SEO-Friendly Slug

Use your name and specialty in your slug. For example, a slug like "dr-ayse-anxiety" improves your visibility in search engines.

Complete Before Publishing

Complete all your profile and appearance settings before publishing. Incomplete sections do not leave a professional impression on visitors.

Add Your URL Everywhere

After publishing, add your URL to your social media profiles, Google Ads campaigns, and email signature.

Quick Sharing

Use the Copy URL button to quickly share your site address.

Take Offline Before Updates

You can temporarily take your site offline before making major updates. Your content is preserved.
