? How to use

The no-code way – Easy way

  1. Go to https://t3mpl.n4no.com/editor/
  2. Use the right panel to edit the content
  3. Press “Publish” then “Save website as .zip”
  4. The full website will be inside the zip, you can host it wherever you want

The no-code way – Advanced way (with Netlify CMS)

Take advantage of Netlify CMS for hosting and updating your website without code. Nevertheless a few options needs to be activated in order to get started, just follow the instructions below.

  1. Add your project in Netlify using this button (and follow the steps): Deploy to Netlify

    1.1. Once done you will see the link to your website, you can later on customize your website name or even add your own domain name.

  2. Enable Identity and Git Gateway by following these instructions (full instructions here: https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/add-to-your-site/)

    2.1. Go to Netlify and go to your brand new deployed website, then Settings > Identity, and select Enable Identity service.
