Frequently asked questions
Do I need design or coding experience?
No. You choose a few options and provide a reference image, Claude handles the building.
What if I do not have a reference image?
You can let Claude create the visual direction itself instead of matching a specific image.
Will this cost anything?
Image and video generation and hosting may require a paid plan, so check current pricing before you start.
Can I use a domain I already own?
Yes. During setup you can connect an existing domain, claim a new one, or use a temporary one.
What if the site does not look right on my phone?
Check the responsive layout before publishing and go back to adjust anything that does not stack correctly.
