Create your site
Updated September 4, 2026 · 5 min
Tell us about your business
Give your site a name and describe what you do in plain language — your services, your vibe, your neighborhood. Messiah reads this the same way a person would, so the more specific you are, the closer your first draft lands. On the same screen, turn on any modules your business needs — Online Store, Restaurant, Bookings & Events, Memberships, or CRM & Donations. Each one adds a real working system, not a widget, and none are required.
Tip
Skip the generic pitch. “A cozy restaurant in Williamsburg, VA with online ordering, a weekly specials menu, and table reservations” gives Messiah far more to work with than “a restaurant website.”Pick a look
Every look is a complete design — typefaces, colour, layouts, motion and how sections alternate. "Let Messiah choose" is selected by default and picks the look that fits your business and industry; or set the direction yourself from the seven cards: Fresh, Journal, Signal, Atelier, Hearth, Confetti, and Noir. Or choose "Match a site I like" and drop in a screenshot of a site whose look you admire: Messiah matches its feel — type, colour, layouts, mood — and picks the closest look, without copying anything in it. Nothing here is final — the Design tab switches looks in one tap after the site is built.
Tip
Not sure? Leave it on “Let Messiah choose.” A chosen look is a firm instruction — the AI stays inside its palettes, fonts and layouts — so pick one only when you already know the feel you want.Where can customers reach you?
Add the email and phone number that power your contact page — messages submitted there land in your site inbox. A public address is optional here; you only need one if customers visit you in person.
Fill in what you turned on
The wizard adds screens for exactly the modules you picked: locations and hours if you turned on Bookings, a currency and product hint for Store, plan names and prices for Memberships, or fund names for Donations. Nothing you did not select shows up, and every one of these can be edited again from theDavid admin once your site is live.
Ready to build?
The review screen shows a summary card for every step you completed, each with an Edit link straight back to that screen. Once it looks right, generating builds a complete, multi-page site seeded with real content for your industry — not lorem ipsum — in about 90 seconds.
Watch your site come together
After you generate, you land on your site’s dashboard while the build runs. Once it finishes you can preview it, keep chatting with the editor to refine it, and manage everything day to day — orders, pages, bookings — from theDavid admin, the same dashboard our agency clients use every day.
Frequently asked
Can I change my answers after the site is generated?
Yes — everything you set up in the wizard (contact info, locations, store details, plans, funds) can be edited afterward from theDavid admin, and page content can be refined further in the editor.
What happens to the screenshot I upload?
It is stored privately, readable only by your account, and used for one thing: helping the AI choose your site's look. Nothing in it — text, logos, photos — is copied into your site. It is deleted automatically two weeks after it was last used.
Can I change the look after the site is built?
Yes. The Design tab in the editor shows the same seven looks; tapping one restyles every page at once, and every design change there is free.
What if I skip a step like Store or Memberships?
Skipped steps are left out of your setup entirely rather than sent as empty — you can turn the module on and fill in the details later without starting over.
