Get the most out of PressUp
Our blog, short guides to describing your business, asking for changes and publishing, plus example sites and answers to common questions.
Guide
Describing your business
A few sentences are enough. The more PressUp knows, the closer the first draft is to what you want.
- Your business name, and what you do
- Where you work, or the area you cover
- Your main services, with prices if you like
- What makes you different, and how customers should reach you
Apex Detail is a mobile car detailing business in Dallas. We offer interior detailing, full detailing and ceramic coating, and we come to you, at home or at work.
Guide
Asking for changes
Ask the way you'd ask a person. Say what you want changed, and where, if it isn't obvious. You'll see the result straight away, and can undo it with one tap.

Guide
Publishing your site
Your site is a draft until you publish it. After that, you decide when changes go live.
- 1
Look it over
Go through every page in the preview, and ask for anything you'd like changed.
- 2
Publish
Sign in and publish. PressUp hosts your site, so there's nothing to set up.
- 3
Keep it current
Change your draft whenever you like, and publish again to put the changes live.
- 4
Go back if you need to
Earlier published versions are kept. Restore one, or take the site offline, at any time.

Can PressUp help me start a business, not just a website?
Yes. Tell PressUp what you need and it starts you in the right place: name ideas, a check that a name is free with your state, a formation checklist, a logo and brand, a business plan, a domain and your website. Each one leads to the next, and it all stays with your business.
Can PressUp name my business and make its logo?
Yes. Say what your business does and PressUp suggests names that fit, with the reason for each. Pick one, and the Logo and Brand Creator makes a logo, colors, type and a brand voice for it.
Can PressUp form my LLC?
Yes. PressUp can file your LLC with the state for you in most states, or give you a free checklist to file it yourself, with the official links and fees for any US state or Washington, DC.
Which tools are free?
You can try the name, logo, plan and formation tools without an account. Once you sign in, the formation checklist stays free and the others use credits: 1 credit for name ideas, 5 credits for a logo and brand, 5 credits for a business plan and 10 credits to check a name with your state. New accounts start with 20 free credits.
Do I need to know anything about websites?
No. You describe your business and ask for changes in plain words. PressUp takes care of the pages, the design and the hosting.
Can I see my site before I sign up?
Yes. Describe your business and PressUp builds your site. To keep it, change it and publish it, continue with Google or your email address.
What does it cost?
Building your first site is free, and you get 20 credits to change it by chat. After that, buy more credits or upgrade to Pro for monthly credits, more sites and your own domain.
Can I use my own photos and logo?
Yes. Upload them in the chat and tell PressUp where they should go.
What happens when a customer fills in my form?
The enquiry arrives in your PressUp inbox, and by email when your business has an email address.
Can the people who work with me use it too?
Yes, on a paid plan. Invite them by email and give each one a role: front desk, bookkeeper, marketing, or one you make yourself, choosing what it can do. Pro has room for five people, you included, and Business for as many as you need. Your plan, billing and domains stay yours alone.
What if I don't like a change?
Undo it with one tap, or ask for something different. Published versions are kept too, so you can go back to an earlier one.
