5.4 – Deploy or Export Your Lovable Website Lesson

Lesson Overview

This lesson focuses on the last mile of building with Lovable: getting a polished site out into the world. You will learn how to preview your website across mobile, tablet, and desktop, and how to use chat to make view-specific tweaks. That small ability to adjust only what you see on a given device view is a simple way to improve your design without breaking other layouts.

Once the look is locked in, the lesson shows how to manage the small but important details that make a site feel professional. You will see how to remove the “Edited with Lovable” badge from project settings and how to use the built-in preview window to check everything at full size.

Collaboration and launch steps are covered too. You can invite others to your project with an invite link or share a preview link to gather feedback before publishing. When you are ready to go live, you can publish to a Lovable.app URL in one click, then add your own custom domain. If you plan to collect emails or use a database, Lovable can run a security scan and suggest fixes. After launch, analytics on the dashboard help you track visits, time on site, and location. This is the practical path from draft to live site, with checks that keep quality and trust high.

Who This Is For

If you want to move from a working draft to a real, shareable website without fuss, this lesson will help. It’s a good fit for people who need a clean launch process and quick signoff.

• Creators and freelancers preparing portfolios or landing pages for clients
• Small business owners getting a new site live on a tight timeline
• Marketers releasing a campaign page and collecting stakeholder feedback
• Educators and community organizers sharing event or program pages
• Product teams validating a concept and publishing to a simple domain
• Anyone who needs basic analytics and light security checks before launch

Where This Fits in a Workflow

Use this lesson after you have finished core content and styling. It is for the final checks and the switch from editing to sharing or publishing. First, confirm that your site looks right on mobile and tablet. Use chat for small, view-specific fixes so you keep layouts consistent across devices. Next, remove the builder badge if you want a clean brand experience.

Before you go live, invite a teammate or client to the project or send a preview link for feedback. Once everything is approved, publish to the auto-generated Lovable.app URL so the site is accessible right away. If you have a brand domain, connect it to replace the default link. If you collect emails or use a database, run the security scan before launch. After a soft launch, open the analytics on the dashboard to confirm traffic and check where visitors are coming from.

Technical & Workflow Benefits

The manual way to launch often means juggling screenshots for different screen sizes, emailing files for review, and dealing with separate tools for hosting, domains, and security checks. It is easy to miss something and slow to fix feedback.

With the approach in this lesson, device views are built in, so you can see your site on tablet and mobile instantly and ask chat for view-specific changes. Instead of sending assets around, you invite collaborators or share a preview link so feedback comes in quickly. Publishing creates a functional Lovable.app URL in one step, which is perfect for soft launches and user tests. Adding a custom domain is guided, so you do not have to guess your way through setup. If your site handles form data, the included security scan helps catch issues before you publish. Finally, the dashboard gives you simple analytics such as visits, time on site, and country, which helps you confirm that the launch is working and that people can actually use the site.

Practice Exercise

Scenario: You are preparing a public launch for a small business site that includes a contact form.

• Step 1: Open mobile and tablet views and scan your homepage sections. Use chat to request one mobile-only adjustment and one tablet-only adjustment that improves readability or spacing. Preview at full size, then turn off the builder badge in project settings.
• Step 2: Send a preview link to one teammate and one client, asking for a single approval note each. Invite a collaborator to the project if they need edit access.
• Step 3: Publish to the Lovable.app URL. If your site collects emails, run the security scan and accept suggested fixes. Optional: start the process to add your custom domain. Visit the live link from a different device, then check analytics on the dashboard to confirm the visit and location.

Reflection: Did targeted mobile and tablet edits through chat reduce rework across views? After removing the badge and setting the domain, does the site feel ready for a public audience?

Course Context Recap

This lesson is part of the launch stage in the AI Website Builder Crash Course. Earlier lessons had you create and refine content, layout, and sections. Now you are focused on sharing, publishing, domain setup, and basic safety checks. Next, you will build on this foundation by monitoring performance and making ongoing improvements using the data you see after launch. Continue through the course to see the specific clicks and pro tips in the video, and to turn your site from a polished draft into a reliable, public-facing asset.
