# How do I connect my existing website to my Uplifter club website?

> Link from your current site to your Uplifter pages, serve your Uplifter site on your own domain, or add a tab back to your old site.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **No embedding.** Uplifter pages can't be placed inside another website, so link to them instead.
  * **One address.** To keep a single address, serve your Uplifter site on your own domain with the **Custom domain** card. It needs the Custom Domains plan feature.
  * **Direct links.** Links from your current site can go straight to your **Programs**, **Store**, or **Calendar** page, or to a single program.
  * **A tab back.** With the Website Customization plan feature, add a tab back to your old site with **Add External Link** on **Settings > Website > Navigation**.
</Note>

**Where your Uplifter site lives.** Your club website is at the free address in the **Uplifter Subdomain** field on **Settings > Website > General** (for example, `mygym.uplifter.app`).

**Why you can't embed.** Browsers refuse to show Uplifter pages inside a frame on another website, so embedding your Uplifter site in another site won't work. There's no embed code in **Settings > Website** either.

**Publish first.** Until you click **Go Live** on **Settings > Website > General**, every link to your site shows "This website is not published yet. Please check back soon." See [How do I publish my website and take it live?](/club/website-store/publish-your-website)

| Option | What visitors see | Needs |
| - | - | - |
| Link from your current site | Your current site, linking to your Uplifter pages | Nothing extra |
| Serve your Uplifter site on your own domain | Your Uplifter site at your own address, such as `www.yourclub.com` | Custom Domains plan feature |
| Add a tab back to your old site | Your Uplifter site, with a tab that opens your old site | Website Customization plan feature |

**Link from your current site.**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the page on your Uplifter site">
    On your published site, open the page visitors should land on, such as **Programs**, **Store**, **Calendar**, or a single program.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy its address">
    Copy the address from your browser's address bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the link to your current site">
    Paste it into a button or menu link on your current site.
  </Step>
</Steps>

A program hidden from your site's listings still opens from its direct link, so you can link to it too. With Website Customization, a visible custom page lives at your site's address plus the page's **Address**, such as `mygym.uplifter.app/about-us`.

**Serve your Uplifter site on your own domain.** When your plan includes Custom Domains, the **Custom domain** card appears on **Settings > Website > General**. Type your www address (such as `www.yourclub.com`) into **Your web address** and click **Claim**. Your domain without www (`yourclub.com`) can forward to it: set that up with the company you bought the domain from. Families can sign in, register, and check out on your domain too. For the settings to add at that company (DNS records), see [How do I use my own domain for my club website?](/club/website-store/use-your-own-custom-domain)

**Add a tab back to your old site.**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Navigation">
    Go to **Settings > Website > Navigation**. You see it only with Website Customization.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the link">
    Click **Add External Link**. Enter a **Label** (up to 40 characters) and your old site's full **Address**, such as `https://www.yourclub.com`, then click **Add Link**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Check the new tab in the **Preview** card, then click **Save Navigation**. The tab opens your old site in a new browser tab.
  </Step>
