How it works
Four steps: choose, pay, describe, publish.
From opening Lontly to having a live website is four steps. Most people finish in well under an hour.
- 1
Choose a template
Browse the catalogue and open any template to see it full-size. What you see is what you get — the demo IS the site.
- 2
Pay once
Checkout is a single payment through Bachs. No subscription, no per-month hosting bill for the site itself.
- 3
Answer a short form
Your business name, what you do, and how people reach you. This seeds the site so it is never generic placeholder text.
- 4
Describe your changes, then publish
Type what you want different. Each edit stages into a draft you can preview. When it reads right, hit Publish.
What happens behind the scenes
When your payment is confirmed, Lontly copies the template into an export that belongs only to you. Your edits only ever touch that copy — they can never affect the original template or anyone else's site.
| Moment | What Lontly does |
|---|---|
| Payment confirmed | Provisions your own copy of the site and its content |
| Site provisioned | Reserves yourname.lontly.com and points it at your copy |
| You publish an edit | Writes the new content and rebuilds the page's static HTML |
| You connect a domain | Issues an SSL certificate once DNS resolves to us |
