Create your first project

2 min read Updated Jul 31, 2026

A project is one website. Everything else - pages, products, bookings, domain - belongs to it.

Start one

Press New Project. The first question is what you are building, because that decides what gets set up for you:

Starter What you get
Online shop Products, cart and checkout, wired up.
Restaurant A menu, and online ordering if you want it.
Car rental A fleet, availability and reservations.
Appointments Services, staff and a booking calendar.
Blog Posts, categories and comments.
Donations A donation page and donor records.
Simple website Pages and a contact form. Nothing else switched on.

Picking one gives you a design that already has that module working, so you are editing a real site rather than assembling one.

The other three ways in

Underneath the starters:

  • Browse all designs - the full template gallery, if you would rather choose by look.
  • Generate with AI - answer a few questions and get a site written around your business.
  • Start blank - an empty project. Only sensible if you know exactly what you want.

The AI route

You are asked for Business Name, Industry / Niche, Location, Phone, Email and a Brand Vibe - Minimal & Modern, Professional & Trustworthy, Friendly & Approachable or Creative & Vibrant. Then Generate My Business writes the pages and fills them in.

Be specific in the niche. "Family-run Italian restaurant in Leeds" produces a far better site than "restaurant", because everything downstream is written from that sentence.

Then

  1. Edit it in the builder - see Using the builder.
  2. Fill in Settings > Business Info - see Business details.
  3. Publish - see Publish your site.

Good to know

  • The starter is a head start, not a cage. Any module can be switched on later in Settings.
  • How many projects you can have depends on your plan - see What each plan includes.
