PAGECONTROL · Installation & help

Your website.
Your first step.

Download PageControl and install it on your webspace. Then start using Free Core or try every module for seven days.

No credit card. No automatic subscription.

Two ways. The same ZIP.

Install through WordPress

  1. Download the current PageControl ZIP.
  2. In WordPress, open “Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin” and select the ZIP.
  3. Install and activate the upload installer. It transfers PageControl and then removes itself automatically.
  4. Open /pagecontrol/install/ on your website and set up your local login.

Upload directly to your webspace

  1. Extract the ZIP on your computer.
  2. Upload the included “pagecontrol” folder next to your website’s entry file, for example using FTP.
  3. Open https://your-website.com/pagecontrol/install/ and follow the setup.
  4. Then sign in at /pagecontrol/. Start your optional free trial in “Modules”.

For an existing installation, use “Updates” in PageControl. The update migrates the name and new address automatically.

What you need to install it

  • Web hosting with PHP 8.1 or newer; PHP 8.4 or 8.5 is recommended for new production installations
  • Access to your website files
  • A current browser for the dashboard
  • An existing HTML, PHP, Blocs or supported CMS website

Your first look around

Open a page, review its content and check the form overview. You do not need a paid module for these first tasks. Start the trial yourself in “Modules”.

Your free trial

Seven days. Every feature module.

Explore every module, including Agency and White Label, on your own website. No purchase, no credit card and no automatic subscription.

01

You start.

Install Free Core and choose to start the seven-day trial in Module Store. The countdown begins only then.

02

You explore.

Use every feature module, connect client websites and try your own branding. AI credits remain a separate paid service.

03

You decide.

Purchase the modules you want before the trial ends and keep working with their data. Free Core stays free forever.

What happens after seven days

Unpurchased trial modules are locked. Their data, including analytics, spam rules, Search Console data, translations, module backups, jobs and applications, Agency connections and branding, is deleted after the next confirmed license check.

Your website, Free Core data, form submissions and purchased module data are preserved. Published font files remain available. Pending or uncertain payments are resolved before deletion.

Download Free Core

Downloading does not start the trial. You choose when to activate it in your installation.

FAQ

Your trial, modules and Agency explained.

Is the PageControl core really free?

Yes. Core and future Core and security updates remain free.

Do I need a license for Free Core?

No. The installation can be started and used permanently without a personal purchase key.

When do the seven trial days start?

Only when you choose to start the trial in Module Store. The trial is available once per license, or once per registered website with Free Core. Reinstalling does not reset the deadline.

Do I need a credit card or have to cancel?

No. There is no purchase, credit card or automatic subscription. A paid module is activated only through a separate purchase. AI credits remain a paid service during the trial.

What happens to my trial data?

After seven days, unpurchased trial modules are locked and their data is deleted after a confirmed license check. Purchase the modules you want before the trial ends to keep working with their data. Your website, Free Core, form submissions and published font files are preserved. Uncertain payments postpone deletion until resolved.

What can I manage centrally with Agency?

Pair independent PageControl installations and manage their content and settings within one shared hub. Autopilot and CMS are included there for every connected client website. Local client logins do not gain these Agency features; other feature modules retain their own licenses.

Can a client remove the agency?

Yes. Each client installation can revoke its agency connections. The hub loses access while the website and local PageControl login remain available.

Are updates installed automatically?

PageControl checks automatically and displays a notice. You start the installation yourself. An automatic check does not make unattended changes to your website.

How do I buy a module?

Directly in the installed Module Store. Product, amount, currency and interval are validated server-side.

Can I pay monthly or yearly?

Most modules offer both. Agency costs USD 69.99 per year and has no monthly option. Manage cancellations in the Stripe customer portal.

What is included in All Modules Bundle?

Autopilot, Tracking & Analytics, Spam Protection, Google Search Console, Translations, Backup & Migration, Privacy, Job Listings and WordPress. Agency and usage-based AI credits are separate.

How does Autopilot work with Agency?

Agency includes Autopilot for all connected client websites, controlled exclusively from the main installation. Local client accounts cannot see Agency settings or other websites.

Is AI Audit a subscription?

No. It uses one-time VELUNO Credits or BYOK; credits do not expire.

What happens when a renewal payment fails?

A grace period avoids immediate lockout, and no settings or data are deleted.

Ready for your own website?

Download the current installer. The seven-day trial only starts when you choose it in “Modules”.
