Things to say to Lanlan

Build
Change words and pictures yourself
Click any text or picture on your site and change it right there — no need to ask.
Change the look
Colours, fonts, spacing, layout — ask for the change, see it in the preview, publish when you like it.
Add and organise pages
Add, remove and rename pages, keep your menu tidy, and hide a page while you work on it.
Add images and media
Your own photos, free stock photos, pictures made by AI, video, audio and fonts — how to get them onto your site.
Add a contact form
A form on your site that sends you an email whenever someone writes in.
Forms beyond contact
Booking, sign-up and feedback forms — the fields you can use, what forms can't do, and how to manage the ones you have.
Set up a blog or portfolio
Anything that's a list — blog posts, projects, team members, events, donors — is a collection, and each item can get its own page.
Live data
Show a number or status that changes — a fundraiser total, seats left, what's on today — and update it from anywhere.
Connect Stripe
Send Stripe payments straight to your site — a donor wall, a fundraiser total, a private record of every payment, or all three.
Lock a page or your whole site
A sealed page only the people you trust can read — or a password on your whole site while it's private.
Manage
Publish your changes
Your changes wait as a private draft until you press Publish — or go live on their own, if you'd rather.
Connect a custom domain
Put your site on your own address, like rosiebakes.com — one you already own, or a new one bought through Lanlan.
See who's visiting
How many people visit your site, which pages they read, and where they came from.
SEO and getting found
What Lanlan does so search engines can find your site, the few things worth doing yourself, and how to stay hidden while you're not ready.
Short links and redirects
Short, trackable links to your pages — and old addresses that send visitors to the right new page.
Invite collaborators
Give someone else the keys to edit your site — a business partner, an assistant, a designer friend.
Roll back changes
Put your site back the way it was — Lanlan keeps your recent published versions.
Plans and billing
Lanlan is free to start. Each site you want more from can be made Pro, for $15 a month.
Manage your sites
Create another site, switch between sites, change a site's address, and delete or restore one.
If you get stuck
Ask Lanlan. In Tell Lanlan, “I can’t figure out how to…” almost always gets you unstuck. For anything Lanlan can’t help with, email support.
