Creating your first website
Start a new site with one sentence, and what happens next.
Updated
- Click New website in the top bar (or the big card on My websites).
- Describe your business in a sentence: what you do and where. For example: "A family bakery in Kansas City with sourdough, celebration cakes and a small cafe."
- Pick the Language of your website (English is already selected).
- Chip creates the site (with a name it guesses from your description — you can change it) and opens the Builder, where the interview continues.
Which language is my website in?
Each website is in one language, the one you pick when you create it. Chip writes every page, button and menu in that language. You can see it under Settings → Your website. It can't be changed afterwards, because every page would need to be rewritten; to have a website in another language, create a new website and pick that language there. Chip can still talk with you in your own language.
Is it free?
Yes. Building and previewing is free, with no card needed. You only pay when you make a site live to the Internet. See How pricing works.
Can I have more than one site?
Yes. Create as many draft sites as you like. Each live site is billed: $7 per month for the first and $5 per month for each additional one.
Changing the name later
Go to your site's Settings → Your website, change the name and save. (The free web address is chosen when the site is created and doesn't change with the name.)
