Yes. Your Plot site runs on a Plot subdomain during the trial, so your existing website is unaffected until you choose to point your domain at Plot.
That means you can:
Generate your Plot site in the wizard and work on it while your current site carries on as normal.
Refine the copy, images and pages in the visual editor, and edit, replace or delete the example content.
Connect one of our ticketing integrations and see your real events in your listings before anything goes public on your own domain.
Invite team members to the site admin to help.
When you are ready to switch:
Add your domain in the Plot dashboard and Plot shows you the DNS records to add at your registrar.
Plot checks for the change automatically and emails you when your domain is live.
You keep ownership of your domain throughout. See can I use my own domain.
Two things to know before you switch:
Billing. Billing starts when your 7-day trial ends or when you connect your own domain, whichever comes first. On Managed, a completed design kick-off also ends the trial early. If you are not ready to go live when the trial ends, your site can stay on its Plot subdomain while you finish it, but it is a paid site from that point.
Your old site. Plot does not touch your existing website or its hosting.
How long does it take for my domain to go live? Once you have put in your DNS settings, it typically takes 10 to 20 minutes for your site to be live on your domain. We will let you know if anything is causing a delay.
Can I redirect my old URLs? Yes. There is a redirects system in the admin. When your site moves over, you enter the old URLs you want to redirect and where each one should go.
On Plot Managed the same applies while your design specialist builds your site, which typically takes about a week depending on how quickly you book your calls. Timings are in how long does it take to create and launch a Plot site.
