The new Sites feature gives you instant Web publishing. With just two clicks, it publishes a directory from an svn or git repository to YourSpace.assembla.me, or to your own hostname.

Designers, front-end developers and marketing teams, landing page developers, and documenters will find this feature useful, as it allows them to update and work with their Websites static html, css, js, and flash files securely via subversion or git. After each commit, the changes will be reflected in the site immediately.

Publish and maintain marketing pages, optimize landing pages, show off new designs to your clients, make your project’s documentation publicly available.  For front-end developers, this is a quick and easy way to publish and experiment with your ajax-driven pages immediately after each commit.

A user asks:  "I only want to share the site with my clients.  The assembla.me sites are publicly visible on the Web.  What should I do?".  Answer:  In the code browser there is a a "View as Web page" button. If you go to your index.html, and select this button, you will get the same view of the site, but inside the permissioned workspace.  If you need to review a site in private, share this link.

A user asks: Can I show PHP scripts as sites?  Answer: The sites tool only renders the static html, css, js, images, etc.  It will not run server-side scripts.  If you need server side scripts, please connect to a properly configured server with our ftp tool or build tool.  And, for best results use relative URL's (always a good idea) to refer to css, js, images, and page links.
