Launch your site and choose the next step

You now have a complete path from a folder on your Mac to a real website. Add online data only when the job needs it.

Finish a small launch check and choose whether to take the optional web app lessons.

Let’s do this

  1. 1
    In your browser

    Do a fresh visitor check

    Open the public URL in a private window and on your phone. Read the first screen, follow the main action and try the important links. Check the title in the browser tab and that your contact details are real. Remove placeholder claims and sample content before inviting visitors.

  2. 2
    In your AI helper

    Check what the website collects

    Ask the AI to list any forms, browser storage, analytics and external services actually used. Explain real data handling to visitors where needed. Keep the first version simple; a basic information site may not need analytics, accounts or a database.

    Choose the right next lesson

    If your site already does its job, stop here and keep improving it in small steps. If several devices need the same records, start with Choose browser storage, D1 or Supabase. For logins, use the Supabase route. For a contact form, use the submissions lesson.

  4. 4
    In your AI helper

    Make it easy to resume

    Ask the helper to update the project README with the preview command, GitHub repository, public URL, build settings and one next task. Keep secrets out. Next time open this same folder and ask it to read that file before working.

A message for your AI helper

Review my first website for a small first launch. Check its real content, main action, public links, mobile use and what information it collects. Tell me whether my actual features need an online database, accounts or form handling. If they do not, keep the current simple setup. Update the existing README with how to preview, test and publish, the public URL, current limitations and the next small task. Do not include secrets.

Make this message fit your idea.

What you should see

Your first website is ready to use, and you have chosen a next step based on a real need.

If you get stuck

Go at your own pace. There is no test to pass.
