What changes

The website stops being a project you keep putting off.

Most business websites go out of date because every change needs someone with the time and the access. With Sites you ask for a change in a sentence and review it before it goes live.

How it usually goes

  • Brief a designer or developer and wait weeks for a first version.
  • Every small change is a ticket, an invoice or something you keep putting off.
  • A change to a repeated section has to be made again on every page that uses it.
  • The careers page still lists roles you filled in the spring.
  • Nobody is sure what is live and what is half finished.

With Sites

  • Tell Friday about your business and review a first draft the same day.
  • Ask for the change in a sentence and check what Friday did before it goes live.
  • Sections are built once as components, so every page that uses one stays in step.
  • Open roles come from your records. Mark one filled and it leaves the page.
  • Edits stay in draft. The live site changes when you press Publish.

Build the site

Describe your business and get your pages.

Tell Friday what you do, who you work with and how you want to sound. It builds your Home, About, Contact and Careers pages with real copy, in your colours and fonts.

  • Pages made from reusable sections, not a fixed template
  • Copy written from what you told it, ready to edit by hand
  • Laid out for desktop and phone

Components

Build a section once and use it on every page.

Package cards, team members and testimonials are saved as components with their own fields. Edit the component and move every page that uses it to the new version together, when you are ready.

  • One edit, every page brought up to date at once
  • Nothing on a page changes until you say so
  • Friday reuses your components before it makes new ones

Live records

Pages that read your records.

A list on your site can read straight from your data. Add an open role in HelloFriday and it appears on your careers page. Mark it filled and it goes.

  • Roles, services, properties, events or any table of yours
  • You choose which fields visitors see
  • A page for every record, if you want one

Your domain

Run it on your own domain.

Point your domain's nameservers at HelloFriday once and the site serves on it over HTTPS, with the certificate set up for you. Until then it runs on a free hellofriday.app address.

  • Run more than one site from the same workspace

Draft and publish

Nothing goes live until you say so.

You and Friday edit a draft. Visitors keep seeing the live site. When you are happy with the changes, press Publish.

  • Preview on desktop and phone before you publish
  • Undo and redo while you edit
  • Every publish is saved, so you can go back

Preview, then Publish.
Blog

Write a document. Publish a blog post.

A blog on your site is a folder of documents. Write in the Documents editor, mark a post final, and it appears on your blog page with its title, author, date and summary. Drafts stay private.

One editor

Posts are written in the same Documents editor you use for everything else.

Categories from folders

Subfolders become categories on the blog page.

A page for every post

Each finished document gets its own address, with an RSS feed for the blog.

Friday can draft it

Ask Friday for a first draft, then edit it like any document.

How Sites compares

Sites vs competitors

Claude can write you a website and Webflow can design you a good one. Sites is built on your company's own records, so the site, your documents and your automations all work from the same information. We host it and keep it secure.

Sites is the obvious choice for service businesses.

Keeping it current

Six months later, you change it by asking.

Raise a price, add a case study or hide a page. Type the change to Friday, read what it changed in the draft, and publish when it looks right.

1Ask in plain words. There is no editor to learn and no developer to brief.
2See what will change before it changes.
3Publish when you are happy and it is live on your domain.

How it works

From your first description to changes after launch.

Six steps, and nothing goes live until you say so.

Describe your business

A few sentences on what you do, who you work with and how you want to sound. If Friday needs more, it asks.

You

Your pages are built

Sections come from your component library, the copy is written from your brief, and your colours, fonts and menus are set.

Friday

Review the draft

Look through it on desktop and phone. Edit any text yourself, or ask Friday to change it.

You

Press Publish

The live site changes when you publish and not before.

You

Ask for changes later

Ask in a sentence. The draft changes and you review the result before it goes live.

Listings stay current

Roles, services and other lists read from your records, so they follow your data without anyone editing the page.

Questions about Sites

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Point your domain's nameservers at HelloFriday once and the site serves on it over HTTPS. Until then it runs on a free hellofriday.app address.

Can I edit the site myself?

Yes. Click any text in the builder and type, or add sections yourself. Asking Friday is a shortcut and never a requirement.

What happens to my current website?

Nothing, until you point your domain at HelloFriday. Build and review the new site first, then switch when you are ready.

Will Friday publish without me?

No. Friday edits the draft. Visitors see a change only after you press Publish.

How do pages stay up to date?

Lists and values can read from your records, so a new role or price appears when you add it. For anything else, ask Friday and review the change.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. Pages are laid out for desktop and phone, and you can preview both before you publish.

What does it cost?

The free plan includes one public page. Pricing shows what the other plans include.

Works with the rest of your workspace

Forms

Put an enquiry or application form on a page. Responses land in your records.

Let visitors book a time with you from the page.
