How to use it

Four steps to a published site

  1. 01

    Start from this design

    Name your site. It opens in the visual editor with every page of this template already built.

  2. 02

    Make the words yours

    Type over any text, or ask the built-in assistant to rewrite a page for your business. You approve every change.

  3. 03

    Add your photos and details

    Click any picture to replace it. Colours and fonts change across the whole site from one panel.

  4. 04

    Publish

    Go live on yourname.pendro.site in one click, and connect your own domain whenever you are ready.

Questions

Before you choose

Can I switch to a different template later?

You can change the look at any time. Colours, fonts, corners and buttons update across the whole site from one panel, and any part of any page can be added, moved or removed. To start again from another design, create a new site from it and keep this one live until you are ready.

Will it look right on phones?

Yes. Independent Bookshop adapts to phones, tablets and desktops without any extra work from you. Use the Phone switch on the preview above to see it on a small screen, and scroll through it as a visitor would.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Every site starts on a free yourname.pendro.site address. From the Beginner plan you can connect a domain you already own; the security certificate is set up for you and checked daily.

Do I need a designer or a developer?

No. Layout, spacing and type are already designed, so changing the words and photos keeps the site looking finished. There is no code to write, and hosting, security and updates are handled for you.

How many of its pages can I publish?

Independent Bookshop comes with 2 pages. The Free plan publishes a single page, and paid plans add more, so you can start small and switch the rest on when you upgrade.
