Mistakes are allowed

Every change is a draft first, with a preview of the whole site. Every earlier version is kept — going back is one sentence.

  • Nothing goes live without your yes
  • A preview of the whole site, before anyone sees it
  • Every earlier version kept, every fifteen minutes
“Put the prices back to how they were before Tuesday.”What you say

The worry

Changing a website can feel like working without a net. One wrong click and it is live; one wrong delete and it is gone. So people don't touch it — or wait for someone who dares.

What happens instead

On a loam site every change is a draft first. You get a link that shows the whole site as it would be — the new page in the real menu, with the real images — and you can pass that link on. It goes live when you say so; drop it, and the live site was never touched.

A check before anything goes live

Before a change goes live, the site checks itself as it would be: every link must lead somewhere, every required field must be filled, the design must still work. A change that would break the site does not go live, and you are told why.

Going back

Every fifteen minutes the site saves itself to its own private history — nobody has to remember. “Put the prices back to how they were before Tuesday” brings the older version back as a new draft, which you look at and publish like any change.
