How Designhouse works
Designhouse is an AI website builder for small businesses. You describe the business, it designs and writes a complete site, and you change it by asking.
From a sentence to a live site.
Five steps. The first one is the only one that needs anything from you.
- 01
Start with a sentence
Type what the business is, in your own words. A short chat follows and asks for the things a sentence can't carry: which pages you want, your services and prices, how customers should reach you, and the feel you're after. Part-way through, you pick a design direction from a few options.
- A few minutes of questions, then the build starts.
- Paste your current website's address and the chat reads it first.
- 02
The site gets designed and written
From the chat, Designhouse plans the site: which pages, what each one says, which forms it needs. Then it builds it. A color palette and typefaces chosen for your business, every page laid out and written, images generated where you haven't supplied your own, and forms wired to reach you.
- Most builds finish in under ten minutes.
- A progress view shows what is being built while you wait.
- The design is made for your business, not picked from a theme.
- 03
Change it by asking
The finished site opens in the studio: the site on one side, a chat on the other. Say what you want different. Make the photos bigger. Add a page for commercial work. Our number has changed. Each change is made while the rest of the design holds together.
- Upload your own photos and place them anywhere.
- Save a version before a big change and go back to it if you prefer the old one.
- Nothing is public until you publish.
- 04
Publish
One click puts the site live at a designhouse.site address, served from a global edge network with SSL. On the Pro plan, connect a domain you own and the site answers at yourdomain.com.
- Publishing takes seconds. Republish after every change the same way.
- Free covers one published site. Pro adds more sites, a custom domain, and removal of the Designhouse badge.
- 05
After launch
Form submissions land in your Designhouse dashboard and reach you by email. Edits keep working the way they did before launch: ask, then republish. Stop your subscription and nothing you published goes offline.
- Inquiries arrive with everything the visitor typed, so you reply from your inbox.
- Connect a domain later, or change it, without rebuilding anything.
Sites made this way.
Each one started as a written brief and came out of the same five steps. Open one and read what it was built from.
- What does the chat ask?
- Which pages you want, what you offer and what it costs, how customers should contact you, and the feel you're after. It skips whatever your first sentence already covered.
- Do I have to choose a template?
- You choose a design direction from a few options during the chat. It sets the feel, not the layout: every page is still planned and designed for your business.
- Can I see the site before it goes live?
- Yes. The studio shows the whole site as a working preview, and nothing is public until you publish.
- What if the first version isn't right?
- Say what's wrong in the chat and it's changed. Larger reworks, like a different layout or a new set of pages, work the same way.
- Can I use my own photos and text?
- Yes. Upload photos and place them anywhere, and paste text you've already written. Say where it goes and the site updates.
- Can it take bookings?
- Yes, as inquiries. A visitor sends the day and time they want through the form and you confirm by reply. If you already use a booking tool, link to it from the site.
- Does the site work on phones?
- Yes. Every site is built to work on phones, tablets, and desktops.
- Can search engines find my site?
- Yes. Every page carries its own title and description, the site publishes a sitemap, and pages load fast from an edge network.
