Create Your First Project
Learn how to create, configure, and deploy your first AI-built website with Looops.
Ready to build your first AI-powered website? This guide walks you through the entire process from idea to published site.
The Builder Interface
When you create a new project, you'll enter the Looops builder. Here's what you'll see:
Chat Panel (Left)
The chat panel is where you communicate with the AI. This is your primary tool for building.
What you can do:
- Describe what you want to build
- Ask for changes to existing elements
- Request new pages or sections
- Ask questions about your project
Pro tip: Be conversational! The AI remembers context, so you can say "make that bigger" after creating something.
Preview Panel (Center)
The live preview shows your website as it's being built. It updates in real-time as the AI makes changes.
Features:
- Responsive toggle: Switch between desktop, tablet, and mobile views
- Refresh button: Force a preview refresh if needed
- Open in new tab: View your site in a full browser window
File Explorer (Right)
See all the files in your project:
- src/: Your website source code
- public/: Static assets (images, fonts)
- package.json: Project dependencies
You can click any file to view its contents, though we recommend letting the AI handle the code.
Building Your Website
Starting with a Prompt
The best way to start is with a comprehensive initial prompt. Include:
- Type of website: Portfolio, landing page, blog, etc.
- Visual style: Dark, minimal, colorful, corporate
- Key sections: Hero, features, pricing, contact
- Special requirements: Animations, specific colors, mobile-first
Example:
"Build a SaaS landing page for a project management tool called 'TaskFlow'. Include a hero with a product screenshot, a features section with 4 cards, pricing (free and pro tiers), testimonials, and a footer. Use a blue and white color scheme with subtle shadows and modern typography."
Iterating on Your Design
After the initial generation, refine your website through conversation:
Layout changes:
- "Move the pricing section above testimonials"
- "Make the hero section taller"
- "Add more padding around the feature cards"
Visual changes:
- "Change the primary color to purple"
- "Make the headings bolder"
- "Add a gradient background to the hero"
Content changes:
- "Update the headline to 'Ship Faster with TaskFlow'"
- "Add a third pricing tier called 'Enterprise'"
- "Change the testimonial quotes"
Adding New Pages
Expand your website with additional pages:
"Create an About page with our team section, company history, and values"
"Add a Blog page that lists articles from the database"
The AI will create the new page and add navigation links automatically.
