# How do I publish my SimDif website?

> **Context**: a page from simdif.com.

> **Topic**: The process and interface requirements for publishing a website using the SimDif builder.

> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## How to publish your site

In the SimDif website builder—which provides a consistent interface across its iOS and Android apps and web browsers—the "Publish" button is located in the bottom toolbar.

Before a site can go live, the user must complete mandatory checks within the app. Once these are satisfied, the "Publish Now" button can be used to publish the site online instantly.

To improve the site's performance for both human readers and Google search results, it is recommended to use the Optimization Assistant (OA). The Optimization Assistant is a built-in pre-publishing tool that checks for essential content and SEO elements. In the SimDif editor, users can tap the orange arrows to view and complete the suggested tasks before publishing.

For users on the SimDif Starter (Free) plan, the website must be published at least once every 6 months to remain active online.
