Start with Launch

Your first site, from idea to live

Turn the details of your business into a website. Check it, publish it, and know what to do next.

Who this helps: Anyone creating their first Launch website. No code experience required.
Before starting: Confirm your account email. Gather the business name, services, contact details, and any photos you own.
Done when: Your website opens at its live address, and a test enquiry reaches Leads.

Choose a starting point

Launch combines an AI editor, website hosting, and business tools in one account. Start with a description or choose a template.

A template gives the design a starting point. The business details still come from the brief.

Open Sites, then New site.
Choose a template if one fits the business.
Describe the business, its customers, and the action visitors should take.
Attach real business photos if available, then send the request.

Give Launch the facts that matter

A useful brief names the service, location, audience, and next step. Include facts that customers need before they contact the business.

Example brief · replace the example details

Build a website for Cedar Garden Care in Portland.
We maintain residential gardens within the city.
Show our services, recent work, and answers to common questions.
Use the attached photos. The style should feel warm and straightforward.
The main action is Request a quote.
Ask for name, email, neighborhood, and a short description of the work.
Ask me for missing business details. Do not invent reviews or prices.

A current website address can help Launch understand the business. Review imported facts and images before publication; a rebuild is not an exact migration.

Make it yours

The editor shows the draft beside the conversation. Ask for a specific change, then check the result.

Check names, prices, locations, opening hours, and contact links.
Use the page selector to inspect each page.
Switch between Desktop and Mobile previews.
Replace sample claims, reviews, and images that do not describe the business.
Wait for the save status to confirm the latest save.

Publish and test the customer journey

Saved changes belong to the draft. Publish makes a version available to visitors at the site's webrenew.app address.

Run through the launch checklist.
Select Publish and wait for the published status.
Open the live site from the site menu.
Submit a clearly labeled test enquiry with an email address that the business controls.
Open Leads and confirm that the submission arrived.

A preview is not a delivery test. Test the published website, and check the actual lead record before relying on email alerts.

Give the site its business address and follow-up

A custom domain, native analytics, and email are available with the Site and Pro plans. The owner's plan applies to the website.

The free webrenew.app address remains useful for sharing and testing. It asks search engines not to index it.

Connect the business domain when the website is ready for search.
Set up form alerts for the people who handle enquiries.
Open Email, choose the website, and connect its sender.
Create a follow-up flow for new form submissions.
