Deploy to Netlify

Netlify is a straightforward option for hosting a Lediv project yourself.

You do not have to leave Lediv to put a project online. Publish serves it in seconds. This guide is for the other path, hosting the same project somewhere else.

Start with a Lediv export

Open the Publish panel in the editor and click Download project. That ZIP is the input for deployment.

Choose a Netlify deploy method

Git-based deploy

1. Unzip the exported project.
2. Push the project to a Git repository.
3. Create a new site in Netlify and import that repository.
4. Review the settings if needed, then deploy. For Vite projects Netlify usually suggests npm run build and dist on its own.

Manual deploy (Netlify Drop)

This option is useful for quick publishing without connecting a Git repository.

1. Unzip the exported project.
2. Build locally to generate the output folder (usually dist).
3. Open Netlify Drop or the Deploys page dropzone in Netlify.
4. Drag and drop only the build output folder.

Upload the build output, not the source. Dropping pages/ or components/ deploys files nobody can read as a site.

For future updates with this method, rebuild the project and upload the updated output folder again.

After the first deploy

Netlify provides a live URL immediately. A custom domain can be added later from Netlify domain settings.

For project updates, deploy a new export or use repository-based deploys to keep changes in sync with version control.
