Hosted quickstart

You won't open a code editor. You won't run a command. You'll sign in to siteship.ai, describe your site to the builder, watch it get built, and click publish.

1. Sign up

Go to siteship.ai and enter your email. We'll send a magic link — click it and you're in. No password.

2. Open the builder

You'll land on the builder at app.siteship.ai/build. The first time you arrive, a guided tour highlights the main controls (chat, preview, devices, publish, settings). You can replay it any time from the ? button.

3. Describe your site

The chat panel on the left is how you talk to the builder. Be concrete:

Build a site for a coffee shop in Austin called Daily Brew. Hours, location, menu, online ordering link, and a mailing-list signup.

Make me a portfolio for a freelance illustrator. Three project case studies, an about page, a contact form.

The builder writes pages, picks a layout, and sets up structure. The right pane shows the live result. Each instruction creates a checkpoint you can roll back to.

4. Iterate

Keep talking. Try things like:

• "Make the hero darker, with a yellow highlight on the headline."
• "Replace the third feature card with one about same-day delivery."
• "Add a FAQ section with five questions about returns."

When you want to edit a specific element, click the element picker in the toolbar, click the thing on the page, and use the smart bar that appears — change a link, swap a heading, replace an image. The chat still works for everything else.

Use the device toggles to check tablet and mobile.

5. Publish

Top right, Publish. Your site goes live at your-slug.siteship.dev in a few seconds. Add a custom domain anytime from Settings → Domain — see Connect a custom domain.

What's next

• Tour the builder UI — every control explained.
• Versions & rollback — every publish is versioned; one-click rollback.
• How-to guides — concrete recipes (forms, blog, payments).
