Can I build my site before going live?

Yes. Quick Start builds a full draft as an unpublished preview you can edit before paying: your episodes on the site, a theme matched to your art, real copy written from your show and website, and draft News articles. The preview link works during its build window and is kept out of search engines. It cannot serve on a live domain, collect visitors, or publish until you add a payment method and turn it on. Turning it on starts Podspun Website at $49.00/month all in, transcribes and indexes your catalog, and switches on transcripts and search. Everything you edited in the preview stays exactly as you left it.
