Your Lite website
Every Lite business gets a website, written for you at signup from what you told us about your business. It is free and always included.
Opening soon, until you open it
A new website shows an Opening soon page to visitors. It stays that way until you open it, so nothing half-finished is ever public.
To open it, go to Website and press Open your website (or Open my website during setup). The first time, it asks for a card on file. Your RentalTide fees come out of your payouts, and the card is only charged if a balance cannot be taken from them for 30 days. See Billing.
Only an owner or admin can open the website.
A password while it is private
Want to show the site to a few people first? Under Site password on the Website screen, set a password and share it. While your website is private, visitors need it to see the site. Saving a new password replaces the old one.
Editing your website
The Website screen covers what most businesses change:
- Top of your homepage: the photo, headline and subheadline.
- About your business.
- Contact and hours: shown on your website as you write them.
- Sections: which sections appear.
- Theme.
- Rewrite with AI: suggests new wording; you pick what to keep, then publish.
Changes are saved and published from the same screen.
Your address and your own domain
Your website lives on a rentaltide.com address. To use your own domain, choose Connect your own domain under More. Connecting a domain is free.
Lite websites carry a small Powered by RentalTide badge.
When you pause
While your business is paused, your website shows a private page instead of your site. It comes back when you resume. See Pausing for the season.
