Building your first website

•3 min read

Chariot is an AI website builder that turns a single prompt into a live, professional‑looking site in minutes. Follow these quick steps to get online fast.

1. Start a New Site

  1. Go to chariotai.com and navigate to the home page.
  2. In the chat box, describe your vision in one clear sentence. Examples:
    • “A modern portfolio for a freelance photographer targeting couples.”
    • “A one‑page menu site for a New York taco truck.”
  3. Hit Enter. Chariot’s AI website generator will begin building and show you a preview of the site on the right.

2. Review & Refine

  • Watch the live preview update as the AI designs each section.
  • Ask for changes in plain language:
    • “Add a page for my menu.”
    • “Make the primary button red.”
    • “Replace the hero text with ‘Hand‑crafted tacos since 2018.’”
  • Repeat until everything looks perfect.

3. Publish & Launch

  1. Click Publish (top‑right of the chat window).
  2. Use a free chariotai.app URL or connect your custom domain.
  3. Your site is live within minutes—no extra setup needed.

4. Update or Unpublish Anytime

  • Need edits after launch? Make changes in the chat and press Publish → Update.
  • To take the site offline, select Publish → Unpublish.

Tips for a Smooth First Build

  • Be specific. The clearer your initial prompt, the closer the first draft will be.
  • Think pages. List any extra pages (e.g., About, Menu, Contact) up front.
  • Use plain English. No coding or design jargon required—Chariot understands everyday language.
  • Iterate fast. Small tweaks keep your AI‑built website aligned with your brand as you grow.
