Welcome to your new website 👋

This is your starter home page. Everything here is placeholder text with tips to help you get going. Pick how you want to build below, then replace this page with your own words and images.

Step 1: Choose how to start

You can begin from a ready-made design or build on the starter pages already here. The links below open your WordPress dashboard, so log in first if you're asked.

✨ AI Website Builder

Best for: getting a complete first draft fast.

Answer a few questions about your business, and the builder creates a full site with pages, text and images tailored to you. You then edit anything you like.

Start the AI builder

🎨 Classic Starter Templates

Best for: picking a design you can see before you commit.

Browse hundreds of free, professionally designed sites (restaurant, coach, contractor, portfolio and more), preview them, and import one in a few clicks.

Browse templates

📝 Keep these starter pages

Best for: a simple site you'll write yourself.

Home, About, Services, Contact and Blog are already set up with tips on every page. Just open each one and replace the text.

⚠️ Good to know: Importing a full template or AI site replaces these starter pages. That's usually what you want, since the new design comes with its own pages.

Step 2: Choose your editor

When you pick a template, you'll be asked which page builder to use. Both are free and both work well. Here's how they differ:

🧱 Block Editor

WordPress's built-in editor (also called Gutenberg, or Spectra in the template library).

  • Faster pages, with no extra builder to load.
  • Simple, writing-focused editing: click and type.
  • Works best with AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT for edits.
  • Fewer fine-grained design controls than Elementor.
Edit this page with blocks

🖱️ Elementor

A popular drag-and-drop page builder with a live visual canvas.

  • Drag, drop and style everything visually.
  • Precise design control over spacing, animations and layout.
  • The largest choice of free templates in the library.
  • Pages are a little heavier and harder to switch away from later.
Edit this page with Elementor

💡 Not sure? Choose the Block Editor for a lean, easy-to-maintain site. Choose Elementor if you want pixel-perfect visual control and don't mind a heavier page. Pick one and stick with it for the whole site.

Step 3: Make it yours

Add your logo

The GoWiz logo is just a stand-in. Swap in your own under Customize → Site Identity. A transparent PNG or SVG about 300px wide works best.

Set your colours & fonts

Set your brand colours and fonts once in the Customizer (under Global), and every page updates automatically.

Name your site

Replace "Your Business Name" and the tagline in Settings → General. This name shows in Google results and browser tabs.

Step 4 (optional): Connect Claude or ChatGPT

This site comes with the WPVibe plugin, which lets an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT work on your site for you. Once connected, just describe what you want in plain language, such as writing a page, updating your menu, adding images or fixing a typo, and the assistant makes the change.

How to connect

  1. Check WPVibe is ready: open the WPVibe page in your dashboard (button below). It shows your connection status and fixes common blockers.
  2. Add WPVibe to your AI assistant: in Claude or ChatGPT, add WPVibe as a connector. The setup guide at wpvibe.ai has the exact steps for each app.
  3. Ask it to connect your site: in a chat, type something like "Connect my site" followed by your website address.
  4. Approve the connection: the assistant gives you a link. Click it, log in to WordPress, and approve with one click. No passwords are shared in the chat.

Things to try

  • "Rewrite my home page for a bakery in Montréal."
  • "Add a FAQ page with 5 questions about my services."
  • "Update my contact page with my real phone and address."
  • "Check my site for missing image alt text and fix it."

🔒 You stay in control: only a site administrator can approve a connection, and you can disconnect at any time from the WPVibe page.

💡 Can't connect? Some security plugins block the "Application Passwords" feature WPVibe relies on. The WPVibe page offers an Allow for WPVibe button that fixes this without lowering your other security settings.
