Website builder that lets me hide some pages behind a password

Yes—Wix is a straightforward option: you can password-protect individual pages, while leaving the rest of the site public. (support.wix.com)

Other options:

• Squarespace — password-protect individual pages; everyone uses the same password for a protected page. (support.squarespace.com)
• Webflow — password-protect individual pages or folders, with separate passwords; page protection requires a paid Site plan. (help.webflow.com)

Quick pick: Wix for an easy setup; Webflow if you want more control. If you tell me what kind of site you’re building and whether you need a free plan, I can narrow it down.

Several mainstream builders can password-protect individual pages. The best fit depends on whether you want one shared password or separate logins for each person.

Builders with per-page passwords

• Squarespace: You can set a password on individual pages from each page's settings, so some pages stay public while others are gated. Everyone uses the same password to access a password-protected page, and unique passwords for different people aren't possible. Squarespace support also warns against using your account password as a page password.
• Wix: Page-level password protection is built in. For individual accounts, Wix suggests its Members Area instead, where you approve members and can revoke one person's access without changing a password everyone shares. Wix's built-in password protection is great for simple, single-password access control.
• Hostinger Website Builder: Each page can have a different password, and each login area can have a different design. The password is hashed using SHA-256, so it is never stored in plain text.
• Yola (Sitebuilder+): You can add an extra layer of security to specific pages by setting unique passwords. Changes take effect only once you publish the site.
• HostPapa Website Builder: You can set one login ID and password and tick the pages to protect, with "Lock All" and "Unlock All" options.

WordPress
WordPress has no built-in way to password-protect individual pages, so you'd need a plugin. The Password Protected plugin allows you to secure individual pages or posts. SeedProd is another option that combines a page builder with password protection.

Notes

• HostGator's Website Builder is no longer offered by HostGator for new signups.
• For a shared password, page-level protection is simplest. For separate logins, look at Wix's Members Area or Squarespace's Member Areas. Wix's Members Area is on the free plan, and Squarespace's Member Areas require a paid plan.

If you tell me whether you need one shared password or individual logins, and whether you plan to charge for access, I can narrow this down.

Many popular website builders offer the ability to hide specific pages behind a password. This is a common feature used for client previews, private portfolios, or exclusive member content.

Here are the most reliable platforms that support this functionality:

1. Squarespace

Squarespace makes it very straightforward to password-protect individual pages.

• How it works: You can go to your "Pages" panel, click the settings (cog) icon for the specific page you want to lock, and add a password in the "General" tab.
• Best for: Users who want a clean, professional look with minimal effort. You can set different passwords for different pages.

2. Wix

Wix provides built-in page permissions that allow you to lock pages behind a password.

• How it works: In the "Pages & Menu" tab, you can click the settings for any page and navigate to the "Access" tab to select "Password Holders".
• Note: If you need more advanced control (like different logins for different people), Wix also offers a "Members Area" feature where users must sign in with their own accounts.

3. WordPress

As a highly flexible platform, WordPress has this feature built into its core functionality for every page and post.

• How it works: In the block editor sidebar, look for the "Visibility" setting. You can change it from "Public" to "Password Protected" and enter your chosen password.
• Advanced options: If you need more robust features—such as managing multiple passwords, creating expiring passwords, or protecting entire categories—there are many plugins available (e.g., "Password Protected" or "Passster") that extend these capabilities.

4. Webflow

Webflow allows you to password-protect individual pages or even entire folders.

• How it works: You can toggle "Password protection" in the page settings (accessible via the "cog" icon in the Pages panel).
• Note: This feature generally requires a paid Site plan.

Important Things to Keep in Mind:

• Search Engine Indexing: Most of these builders will automatically prevent search engines (like Google) from indexing your password-protected pages, which is helpful if you want them to remain private.
• Security Limitations: Built-in password protection is generally intended for "light" privacy, such as sharing drafts with clients or hosting exclusive content. It is not recommended for highly sensitive data, such as personal identifiable information (PII) or financial records.
• User Experience: In many of these systems, the password session is stored in the visitor's browser for a set amount of time (e.g., a few hours or a day), meaning they won't have to re-enter it every time they click a link.

If you want to password-protect just some pages, these are good options:

• Wix — Set a password for individual pages in the page’s settings. Wix says protected pages won’t be indexed by search engines. ¹
• Squarespace — Add a password in a page’s settings; you can keep other pages public. It uses a shared password for each protected page. ²
• Webflow — Supports password protection for individual static pages and folders on sites with a hosting subscription. ³⁶

Quick pick: Wix or Squarespace for a straightforward site; Webflow if you want more design control. Keep in mind that a page password is usually a shared gate, not individual user accounts.
