Spin Up a Website

In this guide, you'll learn how to spin up a website so you can hit the ground running.

Creating Your Website​

To start building, you'll first need to create a website project. Log into the Console and navigate to the Websites Dashboard.

1. Choose Your Starting Point​

Creating a website project in Bloxsnap Click the Create button in the top right corner. You have two options:

  • Start Fresh. Select Empty Website to build a completely custom layout from scratch.
  • Accelerate with a Recipe. Choose a pre-configured Recipe from your available library to instantly load a base set of blueprints, blocks, and configurations.

2. Name Your Project & Add a Target Domain​

DNS Settings

Note: You do not need to connect your live DNS settings right now; this can be safely configured later.

Give your website a recognizable name and input your primary domain or temporary subdomain. Subdomains are allowed.

warning

Enter the clean domain name only (e.g., mysite.com or dev.mysite.com). Do not include www, http://, or https:// in this field.

3. Choose a Default Language​

Select the primary language for your website. If you intend to build a multilingual site, you can easily add translation variants inside your settings panel later.

4. Success!​

Once you hit save, you can click to go to your new Website Dashboard, where you can open the Editor and begin building your pages.
