Build a website
Create an unpublished standalone site from a template or an AI brief, then inspect it in the editor.
Before you start
- Sign in to your account and open Websites. Website content is separate from private SOP workspaces.
- Templates are free; an AI website build uses 1 credit.
Step-by-step walkthrough
Step 1
Open Websites and name the site
Select Websites in the workspace sidebar. Under the creation area, enter a business or website name so the new site is recognizable in Your websites.
Step 2
Choose a template or write a brief
Select a free template if its structure fits. For AI, describe the real business, audience, pages, services and preferred tone. Provide facts rather than asking AI to invent credentials, testimonials or prices.
Step 3
Build the unpublished draft
Select Build my website for the AI path, or choose a template. The new draft opens in the editor; generation creates a draft, not a public launch.

Inspect all pages before publishing
Check navigation, section text, photos, prices and button links. Replace every template placeholder. Save the site, and leave it unpublished until you have completed the publishing guide.
Practical example
A local consulting website
Brief: “Create Home and Contact pages for our HR consultancy. Services are policy review and manager training. Use our supplied wording; do not invent client logos or case-study results.”
Common issues and fixes
- The template shows prices or claims I never supplied
- Those are starter examples. Replace or remove them before publishing; they are not verified facts about your company.
- The AI build fails
- Check your credits and connection, then try a clearer brief. A free template is an alternative starting point.
What success looks like
You have an editable private website draft, separate from the SOP portal and not yet public.
