Site Protection & Error Pages
Control who can see your pages and what visitors see when something's not available.
Included on every plan. Per-page visibility, page passwords, custom error pages and maintenance mode are not tier-gated.
Where these controls live
The three features on this page are set in two different places, and neither is the pages list:
| What you want | Where it is |
|---|---|
| A page's visibility (public, unlisted, password, members-only) and its page password | The Page Access card on that page's detail view |
| Error pages for 404 / 401 / 403 / 503 | The Error pages section of the site's Admin area |
| Maintenance mode | The same Error pages section, in Admin |
A page's own visibility is set by anyone who can edit that page. The Error pages section is different: both settings there are site-wide — maintenance mode replaces every page for every visitor — so, like deleting the site, they live in Admin and are limited to site admins.
Per-page passwords
Protect individual pages with a password, so only people with the code can view them. You can also set a custom not-found page for missing addresses.
Custom error pages
Design your own 404 / 401 / 403 / 503 pages in the Besigner, so they match your brand instead of showing a generic message.
Maintenance mode
Flip your site into maintenance mode to show a designed 503 while you work, then switch it back when you're ready.
