The fastest path through Lucid. You’ll finish with a published, responsive, real-code marketing site at a *.lucidstudio.app URL, ready to attach a custom domain to.
1. Sign up
Head to app.lucidstudio.ai/new. Email, Google, or GitHub. New accounts get 3 free credits — plenty to generate a spec, iterate on it, and do one small preview build.
2. Describe what you want
A single textarea. The more concrete, the better: brand name, industry, vibe, the sections you want. Example: “A marketing site for Harbor Coffee, a Brisbane-based coffee subscription. Editorial, warm, confident. Home, about, pricing, FAQ, contact.”
3. Review the plan
You’ll see a BuildSpec preview: which kit Lucid picked, the page list, the section types, the image slots, the approximate credit cost. Iterate by typing into the prompt box: “swap the testimonial for a FAQ” or “make the hero split-layout instead of centered.”
4. Build
When the plan’s right, hit build. You’ll see real-time progress: spec locking, template selection, image generation, codegen, final packaging. Typical time: 90–180 seconds.
5. Preview
Before publish, every build deploys to a temporary preview URL you can share with collaborators. If anything’s off, go back to the spec and iterate.
6. Publish
One click publishes to <yourname>.lucidstudio.app. Attach a custom domain from settings; we handle SSL via Cloudflare SaaS certificates.
