Quick Start
Create an account, build a page, and publish your first site in under 5 minutes.
This guide walks you through the full flow from a fresh account to a live published site.
Prerequisites
- An email address to register with
- A modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)
Steps
Create your account
Go to the app and click Get Started. Enter your name, email, and a password — or continue with Google.
If you signed up with email and password, check your inbox for a verification email and click the link inside, then sign in — the link confirms your email but doesn't log you in automatically. Google accounts skip this step entirely.
If you don't see the email within a minute, check your spam folder or request a new one from the login page.
Your workspace is ready
A default Workspace, named after you, was created automatically the moment you signed up — before you even verified your email. A workspace holds all your sites and team members.
You can create additional workspaces anytime from the workspace switcher in the sidebar.
Create a site
From the dashboard, click New site (or Create your first site if this is a brand-new workspace). Choose Blank site, enter a Site name, then click Create site.
A subdomain is generated automatically from the name — something like your-site-name.sites.tdcapps.com. The card shows a Live badge as soon as that domain is ready, but that only means the domain exists — not that you've published anything yet. Until you publish a page, visitors there will see a not-found placeholder instead of a blank page.
If enabled for your account, you can choose AI site builder instead of Blank site to skip naming and jump straight into the editor with an AI-generated starting point.
Open the Visual Editor
Click Edit site on your new site card — this opens the site's details page, not the editor. From there, click Open Editor in the top-right corner to reach the actual design canvas, which starts out completely empty.
To start adding structure to your page:
- Add a blank layout: Click Add your first section in the middle of the empty canvas. This opens a modal where you pick a column layout and basic styling — click its Add Section button to insert it.
- Add prebuilt sections: Click the Sections tab in the left sidebar, browse the categories (like Hero, Features, or CTA), and click any template to append it to your page with default elements.
Edit your content
You can customize both sections and individual blocks on the canvas:
- Sections: Click a section's outer area on the canvas (or select it in the Left Sidebar) to customize its overall layout, background colors, padding, and alignments in the Right Sidebar.
- Blocks: Click any block inside a section to customize its content, styles, and alignments. For example:
- Click a Text block to edit the copy inline.
- Click an Image block to upload or pick from the asset library.
- Reordering: Reorder sections or blocks by dragging them up or down in the Left Sidebar's Layers list, or by selecting a section on the canvas and dragging it using the grab handle (
::) at the top-left corner. You can also right-click any section or block on the canvas to open the context menu and choose Move Up or Move Down.
Publish
When you're done, click Publish in the top toolbar. Choose a scope — Page (just this page, the default), Layout (the shared header/footer), or Site (everything) — then click the dialog's own Publish button to confirm.
There's no manual Save button — your edits autosave continuously in the background as a private draft. Publish is the only action that makes changes visible to visitors, so come back and publish whenever you want a change to go live.
Visit your site's address (shown on its dashboard card) to see your published page.
