Understand Draft and paid publishing

Create and improve a private website for free, then choose a paid plan only when it should become public.

Draft is for creating, reviewing, and improving one private website. It starts with 3,500 credits and can buy the smallest credit pack once. Publishing to a public DriftLess address requires Live or Practice. Self-hosted GitHub export requires Practice and a site without enquiry or payment-link selling.

How to use this

  1. 1Use Draft to complete the first website and review the real result.
  2. 2Spend included credits on focused improvements when needed.
  3. 3Buy the Touch-Up pack once if the free account needs a little more room.
  4. 4Choose Live or Practice when customers should be able to visit the website.

Keep in mind

  • Buying the one-time Draft pack does not unlock publishing.
  • The Pricing page is the source of truth for current prices, credits, and plan limits.
