Building Apps
Website Generation
Website Generation takes a different approach from app generation. Instead of describing features and interactions, you provide a design brief that describes your website's purpose, audience, and style — and Webase generates a complete, multi-page website with professional content and SEO metadata.
Websites vs. Apps: Apps are interactive and data-driven (task managers, dashboards, tools). Websites are content-focused (landing pages, portfolios, business sites). Website Generation is optimized for the latter — it produces polished, content-rich pages designed to look great and convert visitors.
What Website Generation Does
When you use Website Generation, you fill out a design brief instead of writing a free-form description. The AI uses your brief to generate a complete website with multiple pages, consistent branding, professional copy, and search engine optimization — all in one step.
The Design Brief
The design brief is a structured form with several fields that guide the AI:
- Goal — What is the primary purpose of the website? Examples: "Generate leads for my consulting business," "Showcase my design portfolio," "Sell handmade candles."
- Audience — Who will visit the website? Examples: "Small business owners," "Hiring managers in tech," "Parents looking for organic baby products."
- Tone — What feeling should the website convey? Examples: "Professional and trustworthy," "Fun and energetic," "Minimalist and elegant."
- Call to Action (CTA) — What should visitors do? Examples: "Book a free consultation," "Download our app," "Shop now."
- Style — Visual preferences for colors, layout, and design. Examples: "Dark theme with neon accents," "Clean and modern with lots of white space," "Earthy tones and natural imagery."
- Notes — Any additional details, specific sections, or content requirements.
- Page slugs — A list of pages to generate. Examples:
home, about, services, contactorhome, portfolio, pricing, faq, contact.

Generated Pages and Structure
The AI generates a complete page for each slug you provide. Every page includes:
- Professional content — Headlines, body copy, and calls to action tailored to your brief.
- Consistent navigation — A shared header and footer that link all pages together.
- Responsive design — Pages look great on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
- Matching style — Colors, fonts, and layout are consistent across every page based on your style preferences.
SEO Metadata
Every generated page includes SEO metadata automatically:
- Meta title — A search-engine-friendly title for each page, incorporating relevant keywords.
- Meta description — A concise summary that appears in search engine results, written to encourage clicks.
You can edit these values after generation to fine-tune your search engine presence.
Tip: After generating your website, use the Chat panel to refine individual pages. Ask for changes like "Add client testimonials to the home page" or "Include a FAQ section on the pricing page." The AI updates the specific page while keeping the rest of your site consistent.
