Create your first site

Planning works without connecting third-party accounts. Add credentials only when a later step needs them.

CURRENT PRODUCT CAPABILITIES
01

Start from a keyword

Open New site, enter the search term or product idea the site should own, and optionally add a name, niche, or domain. Shipsite creates the project and starts planning. Research and contracts appear in Studio as they finish.

  • Use one specific search term or product job, not a broad industry name.
  • Planning pauses at the PRD gate before build work begins.
  • A managed preview can be created before you own a domain or connect GitHub/Cloudflare.
02

Import an existing site

Provide a GitHub repository URL and, when available, the production URL. Public repositories can be inspected directly; private repositories require a verified GitHub connection with repository read access. Import records the framework, source commit, live URL, and baseline evidence.

03

What to review first

Read the market evidence, search strategy, product strategy, route/copy contracts, and acceptance criteria before approving the PRD. Request changes with a concrete reason when the opportunity, scope, claims, or page plan is wrong.
