What the public space is for
Your public space is a small website in your name presenting your available units, without other owners' units from the directory. Share it by link, on business cards or social networks. It is a Premium plan feature (see Plans). An administrator can also generate a customer's space.
Creating a space
Open My public space in the general menu, then New space:
- Space name;
- Layout: 16 presentations (Showcase, Compact list, Magazine, Photo portfolio, Side panel, Compact grid, Thumbnail rows, Editorial, Masonry, Timeline, Catalogue, Contact cards, Large format, Boutique, Dashboard, Prestige);
- Colour tone: ready-made palettes (Classic, Emerald & Gold, Sand & Terracotta, Urban Night, Soft Pastel, Forest, Minimal B&W, Burgundy & Gold, Vibrant Coral, Excellence);
- Projects to include: all your projects, or a selection.
Customising the home page
Under Home page customisation: a subtitle, a welcome message, your logo (navigation bar) and the site icon (favicon).
Which units appear
Only published units of the included projects that are still available are visible. To publish or withdraw a unit, see Publish the unit and organise visits.
The instant public address
As soon as it is saved, your space is reachable at an address provided by the platform, with no configuration. Share it right away, and use Preview this space to check it before announcing it.
Using your own domain
A domain in your name (for example rentals.mydomain.com) is optional. Under Custom domain:
- enter a root domain (mydomain.com) or a subdomain (www.mydomain.com) then Configure;
- at your domain registrar, create the two DNS records shown: a TXT record
_smartlife-challenge.yourdomain(proof that the domain is yours) and a CNAME (or ALIAS/ANAME for a root domain) to the platform's address; - run the verification: each check shows as “Success”, “Failure” or “To check”, with details of what was found. DNS changes can take a few hours to propagate; you can run it again.
You do not have a domain name
Under Don't have a domain name?, enter the one you want: availability and price are checked with OVH. If it is free, confirm the request: a ticket is created and our team buys the domain and handles its renewal for you, with a mark-up shown before you confirm. Nothing is ordered automatically.
