How to enable the cloning link

The Cloning Link option can be found in any website in Sitelium in the Project Settings under the new General Tab we've added with this update.

After you turn on the Project Cloning option, you'll get a cloning link that comes with a Copy and Generate New link buttons.

Copy the link and share it. Note that whoever clicks this link, will get a one to one replica of your website in their Sitelium account (together with all the content, images, copy, blog posts, custom assets, etc).

Use the Generate New link button to generate a new clone link. Keep in mind that once you generated a new clone link the previous link will not work anymore.


Key benefits of website cloning in Sitelium

The Clone Website feature in Sitelium, offers numerous key benefits specifically tailored to web agencies & web professionals. Here's how this feature can significantly enhance your workflow and overall business:

  • Time Efficiency - you can share website prototypes or finished projects with clients. You can instantly provide a copy of the website to clients, saving valuable time and effort.
  • Client Showcase - you often need to showcase your portfolio to potential clients. With the "Clone Website with a link" feature, you can create sample websites, enable the clone link, and let your potential clients experience the website firsthand. This interactive approach can impress clients and increase the likelihood of landing new projects.
  • Client Training & Support - you can use the clone link to provide training sessions to clients on how to use their newly built websites effectively. It's an excellent way to offer ongoing support and ensure clients are comfortable with managing their websites.
  • Enhanced Reusability - certain websites may be used across multiple projects. The clone link feature allows you to duplicate these websites easily, reducing the need to recreate them partially or from scratch.
  • Peace of mind - cloning can offer a secure way to share website copies, ensuring that the original website's data remains intact. Clients can have peace of mind knowing that their primary website won't be affected by any experiments or changes they make to the cloned version.
  • Competitive Edge - adopting innovative features like "Clone a Website via a Link" can set your agency apart from competitors. This modern and user-friendly approach to collaboration and website sharing can impress clients and attract more business.

Cloning Free vs PRO websites

There are no limitations on who can use the Website Cloning feature. If you have a Sitelium website you can enable cloning no matter if your account is Free or PRO.

The same goes for anyone that clicks a clone link. Of course you will need a Sitelium account in order to clone a Sitelium website. The only limitation appears when you are trying to clone a website that has PRO functionality (like header blocks, elements, etc) in a Free Sitelium account.

We'll still let you clone the website, but all the PRO functionality will be locked (see image below for an example). From here you either remove the PRO content or upgrade to Sitelium PRO to unlock it.
