First site in ten minutes

A first Shipsite run is a governed planning loop, not a one-click publish. Sign in, name one keyword, let research land in Studio, approve or reject the PRD, then wait for a labeled preview. Production is a later gate.

The path

These seven steps take a specific product job from an empty account to a reviewable preview. None of them silently publish a live domain.

  1. Sign in with GoogleOpen Sign in and complete Google authentication. You return to the workspace you came from.
  2. Open New siteEnter one keyword or product job. Avoid a whole industry name.
  3. Let planning runStudio shows lane progress, remaining minutes, and an empty evidence pack until research finishes.
  4. Read the artifactsOpen market evidence, search strategy, product strategy, and the merged PRD before you decide.
  5. Approve or reject the PRDApproval starts build. Rejection returns work to the responsible stage with your reason.
  6. Review the labeled previewPreview is not live. Use desktop/mobile controls and QA evidence before any production decision.
  7. Keep production gatedA later Owner gate requires the same version's QA, launch approval, deploy receipt, and live URL check.
Studio while planning a Pomodoro Timer site: Kuafu is assembling the first documents and a remaining-time estimate is visible.
After you enter a keyword, planning writes into Studio as it finishes. An empty library with a live lane and ETA is a real state.

Pick a keyword that can own a site

Good first inputs are jobs a visitor would type, such as “invoice generator”, “interval timer”, or “sourdough hydration calculator”. Bad first inputs are category labels such as “AI” or “marketing”. Shipsite can also start from Radar or keyword mining when you already have an evidence-backed term.

What “done” means on day one

Day one is done when you have a reviewable plan, a labeled preview or a clearly blocked stage, and a recorded decision. It is not done when a domain is live. Publishing still needs QA evidence and a production gate.
