Editing

Change anything by asking.

The first version is a starting point, not a verdict. Say what you would change and it changes. Or do it yourself, right on the page.

  • Ask in plain English

    Tell the assistant what you want different and watch the page change.

  • Point at anything

    Click a heading to rewrite it, a photograph to swap it, a section to remove it.

  • Colours and type in a second

    Try a colour, look at it, try the next. No waiting for a rebuild.

  • Nothing is lost

    Undo, redo, and every earlier version one click away.

Questions

Before you ask.

Is it really not a template?

Really. There is no stock layout behind it and no library of sections to pick from: the whole site is designed and written from your answers each time. Two cleaners in the same town get two different sites, because they told it different things.

What do I need to have ready?

What you do, where you do it, what you charge if you publish prices, and what makes you different. Reviews and photographs help a lot, and you can paste reviews straight from wherever they live. It takes about a minute to answer, and every extra detail makes the site better.

Will it make things up about my business?

No. Facts come only from your answers. It will not add a review, a star rating, an accreditation or a year you did not give it. What it does not know, it leaves out.

How long does it take?

A few minutes to build, and you can watch the page being written while it happens. Changes you make yourself, like words, photographs and colours, show up in about a second.

What is a credit?

Every plan comes with credits each month, shared between building sites and asking for changes. A site usually takes about 40 to build, and a change you ask for usually 10 to 50, depending on how much it involves. You are only charged for what was done, and if a build fails you get its credits back. Changing words, photographs and colours yourself never uses any. Credits reset on the 1st of every month.

Can I use my own domain?

Not yet. Sites are published on an Atelier address for now, and your own domain is the next thing being built.

What happens to my visitors’ data?

Enquiries they send are stored for you to read and nobody else. The analytics sets no cookie and keeps no identifier, so there is nothing about your visitors to leak or to ask consent for.

How do I get in?

It is invite-only while it is being built. Leave your email and you will hear from us when there is room. If you already have an invite code, sign in and enter it there.
