Congrats! You've made a beautiful page in Gamma and now you want to publish it as a real website. Now, you can add a site to make it live on your own domain.
While gamma.site domains are available to everyone, custom domains are only available in our Pro plan. To learn more about upgrading, see our article about Gamma's paid plans. Sites is still beta, and we'll be continuing to make improvements. Please contact support if you have any questions.

Custom vs. Gamma domains
Start your online journey by selecting the perfect domain name. Gamma does not require external hosting services, so all Gamma users are able to use Gamma’s own subdomain (gamma.site) to host their website, without using a custom domain. If you decide on a custom domain, you'll need to purchase it from a domain provider. Don't worry, we support all major domain providers!

Add a site to an existing Gamma
We have two primary ways to create a site in Gamma: converting an existing Gamma, or creating a new Gamma site from scratch.
Begin with an existing Gamma
Select the … menu and click publish to site
Select Convert to Site
Nothing is live until you hit publish
And that is it, you’ve successfully created a website using Gamma! Don't worry, if you ever change your mind, you can easily disable the site. Please see How to disable a site
Create a new site
Don't have a Gamma created yet? We've got you covered! In addition to the setup process we just covered using an existing Gamma creation, you can also create a site from scratch. Simply navigate to the Sites tab in your account and follow these steps:
Click on the Create Site button to begin
Create a presentation using your prompt
Choose a theme and template that suits your needs
Select generate to create your Gamma site
Lastly, once you've made any edits and adjustments, select publish to set your site live!
By following these steps, you'll be able to create a brand new site directly from the Sites tab. It's a convenient alternative that gives you even more flexibility and control over your website-building process.
Please see How to setup a site for details on customizing your site's setup.
Publishing your site
When you make changes to pages in your site, they won't go live immediately. You can take your time to get the content right, and use the Preview button (within the Publish dropdown) to see how your site will look on desktop, tablet, or mobile.
When you're ready, you can publish your changes by pressing the publish button. This will push the content for each of your pages, as well as any site-level changes like the theme or navigation.
You can also publish a single page by pressing the ... menu next to the page and choosing publish this page. This will update that page's content, but not any site-level changes like the theme.
