--- title: "Create your website" description: "Walk through the full Bulido website flow — survey, generation, editing content and portfolio, choosing a public URL, and publishing." locale: en category: settings slug: website-create updatedAt: 2026-05-06 --- # Create your website Bulido can publish a one-page public website for your business — your services, an "About" section, contact details, and portfolio — at `https://bulido.com/u/`. The whole flow lives under **Settings → Website**. This article walks through everything end-to-end. For switching the visual design after the site exists, see [Website template](/helpcenter/settings/website-template). ## Before you start Make sure these are filled in under **Settings → Company**, since the wizard reads from them: - Company name - Country - Phone — recommended. The main call-to-action button on the website is "Call us" and only renders when a phone number is set. - Email — optional, shown as a secondary action. - Logo — optional, shown in the header. You also need at least one **service** — without services the generated copy has nothing to talk about. Add them under **Services**. ## 1. Open the wizard Go to **Settings → Website**. The first time you arrive you'll see a short welcome card with a **Start** button. ## 2. Answer six quick questions Bulido asks six questions and uses your answers to shape the tone, structure, and angle of the generated copy. You can go **Back** at any step to change an answer. 1. **How do you work?** — on your own / with a small team / through a company. 2. **How long have you been doing this?** — under 2 years / 2–5 / 5–10 / over 10. 3. **What's your main trade?** — pick the closest category. Don't see yours exactly? Pick the nearest one — you can edit the generated copy afterwards. 4. **Where do you take on work?** — your city / your region / nationwide. 5. **How far will you travel?** — only asked when you picked "my city". Enter the radius in km. 6. **How should the website sound?** — professional / friendly / premium / down-to-earth. After step 6, click **Generate my website**. This kicks off the generation, but nothing's locked in — you can regenerate, edit individual fields, or start over later. ## 3. Generation (1–2 minutes) Bulido takes your survey answers and company profile and assembles the page. The screen shows a progress message; you can leave the tab — you'll get a notification when it's ready. If something fails (rare), the screen shows a **Regenerate** button. Click it to try again. > Steps 4–7 below can be done in any order. The slug field and the **Publish** button live in the action bar at the top of the page; the content editors and portfolio sit below them, with the live preview at the bottom. ## 4. Edit the content Once generation finishes, you land on the editor. Each block has its own field with a **Save** button next to it: - **Hero title** — the big headline at the top. - **Hero subtitle** — the short line under it. - **About** — the longer paragraph(s) about you. Use a blank line between paragraphs. - **CTA text** — the label on the call button (the button itself uses your phone number). - **Meta description** — the snippet Google shows under your link in search results. - **Service blurbs** — each of your services has its own title + body. Edit them individually. Edits save when you click **Save** for that field. The preview at the bottom of the page re-renders right away. ## 5. Add portfolio photos Below the text editors there's a **Portfolio** section. For each entry: 1. Click **Add item** to create a new portfolio block. 2. Give it a title (e.g. *"Bathroom renovation in Brighton"*) and an optional description. 3. Drop in or upload JPG / PNG photos. 10 MB per file. 4. Drag entries to reorder them. Portfolio data is stored separately from the template, so it survives a template switch and a regeneration. ## 6. Pick your public URL In the **Public URL** section (top of the page), set the slug — the part after `/u/` in the address. Allowed: 3–30 lowercase letters, digits, and dashes (`alex-painting`, `acme-renovations`). Some words are reserved (login, admin, etc.) and slugs taken by another user are rejected — you'll see an inline message. The address is what your customers will type or tap, so pick something short and memorable. ## 7. Publish Above the editor there are status badges and action buttons: - **Publish** — makes `https://bulido.com/u/` reachable to the public. Visible immediately. The badge flips to **Live**. - **Take offline** — flips it back to **Offline**. The URL returns a "not found" page; your content stays in Bulido and you can republish any time. You need a slug set before you can publish. ## Regenerate and start over Two destructive actions live in the action bar — both ask for confirmation: - **Regenerate** — Bulido rebuilds the copy using your current survey answers and services. **Overwrites** all hero / about / CTA / meta / service-blurb text. Portfolio, slug, and template are kept. Use this after major changes to your services or after you change your tone preference. - **Start over** — deletes the entire website (survey answers, copy, portfolio, slug, publish state) and drops you back at the welcome screen. The slug is freed, so someone else could claim it. Cannot be undone. ## Switch the template anytime Right under the portfolio editor there's a **Website template** picker with the available designs. Switching template doesn't lose any content — only the layout changes. Full details: [Website template](/helpcenter/settings/website-template). ## What's next - [Website template](/helpcenter/settings/website-template) — pick or switch the visual design. - [Add a company logo](/helpcenter/settings/company-logo) — used in the website header.
