Introduction

Gamma makes it easy to transform your gamma into a full website—perfect for portfolios, landing pages, or multi-page sites. This guide walks you through creating a new site from scratch or converting an existing Gamma, using domains, and publishing your updates.

What is a Gamma Site?

A Gamma site is a published version of a gamma doc or deck that appears online under either a Gamma subdomain (e.g., yoursite.gamma.site) or a custom domain you own. You can create single or multi-page sites, add navigation, and manage settings—all without any coding.

How to Create a Site in Gamma

Option 1: Convert an Existing Gamma into a Site

  1. Open the gamma you want to convert.

  2. Click the ... menu in the top-right corner.

  3. Select Publish to Site > Convert to Site.

  4. Your gamma is now set up as a site, but it won't be live until you publish it.

  5. When ready, click Publish to push it live.

Note: You can unpublish/disable a site any time.

Option 2: Create a New Site from Scratch

  1. Go to your Sites tab in the Gamma dashboard.

  2. Click Create Site.

  3. Use a prompt to generate a presentation, or start with a blank gamma.

  4. Choose a theme and template.

  5. Click Generate.

  6. Once your site is created, make any edits, then click Publish.

Using a Gamma vs Custom Domain

All Gamma users can publish to a free gamma.site subdomain. Pro subscribers can connect custom domains purchased through any major provider.

How to Set Up a Custom Domain

  1. Open your gamma site.

  2. Click Site Settings from the ... menu.

  3. Under Domains, click Add Domain.

  4. Choose between Automatic Setup or Manual DNS Setup.

Note: After domain verification, it may take a few hours for your SSL certificate to issue. If issues persist after 24 hours, contact customer support.

How to Edit Your gamma.site Domain

  1. Go to Site Settings.

  2. Click the pencil/edit icon beside your gamma.site domain.

  3. Enter your desired subdomain and save.

How to Publish Your Site

Publishing All Pages

  1. Click the Publish button at the top of your site.

  2. Your changes across all pages and settings will go live.

Publishing a Single Page

  1. Open the Pages panel.

  2. Click the ... menu beside a page.

  3. Select Publish This Page.

Pro Tip: Use Preview to see how your site looks on desktop, tablet, or mobile before publishing.

FAQs & Common Issues

Can I revert a site back to a presentation?

  • Currently, Gamma doesn't support reverting back to the original presentation format. You'll have to copy and paste the slides (using the filmstrip) to a new presentation.

Can I use Gamma for e-commerce or blogging?

  • Currently, Gamma sites do not support e-commerce or blogging features.

What if my custom domain shows a security warning?

  • This is normal while SSL is being issued. It should resolve within a few hours. If not, contact customer support after 24 hours.

Can I disable a Gamma site after publishing?

  • Yes. You can disable a site from the Site Settings panel.

Do I need hosting?

  • No, Gamma handles all hosting. Just choose your domain and publish.
