Getting Started

Build your first website in a few minutes

The step-by-step tutorial: describe your business, answer a few questions, and let Forge build a complete website you can preview and publish.

The fastest way to get a website is to tell SiteDrop about your business in plain English and let Forge— our AI engine — build the whole thing for you: the words, the layout, the colours, and the images. You'll have a real site to look at in a few minutes.

1. Describe your business

On the SiteDrop home page (or your dashboard), find the Describe your business box.

  1. Type what your business is — its name, what you do, who it's for, and where you're based. A sentence or two is enough to start.
  2. The more specific you are, the better the result. Our guide to describing your business has examples of great briefs.
  3. Press Build my site to start.

2. Let Forge build it

SiteDrop asks a few quick questions (like what kind of site you want) and then gets to work. While you wait, Forge writes your copy, chooses a design that fits your business, and generates matching photos.

TipThe first draft is a starting point, not the finished article. Forge fills in realistic-looking details so the page feels complete — swap them for your real opening hours, prices, and photos once it's built.

3. Preview and publish

  1. When the build finishes, you'll see your site in Preview. Scroll through it and check it on your phone.
  2. Want to change something? You can edit any text, photo, colour, or section — see the editor guide.
  3. Happy with it? Publish it to take it live — see Publishing your site and going live.

Good to knowOn the free plan you can build oneAI site to preview. Free previews don't stay up forever (see Preview vs live) — to keep your site online, start your 7-day free trialor choose a plan. Uploading your own sites doesn't use the AI-build limit.

That's the whole loop: describe, build, preview, publish. From here, the first-week checklist walks you through everything else worth doing.
