Quickstart Guide
Build your first website with AI in under 5 minutes. Step-by-step guide for beginners to the Looops AI website builder.
This guide will walk you through creating your first AI-generated website in under 5 minutes. No coding experience required.
Before You Start
You'll need:
- A Looops account (join the waitlist if you don't have one)
- A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)
Create Your First Project
Step 1: Access the Dashboard
Log In
Go to looops.ai/dashboard and sign in with your account.
Create New Project
Click the "New Project" button in the top right corner of your dashboard.
Name Your Project
Enter a name for your project. This will be used in your project URL (e.g., my-portfolio.looops.ai).
Step 2: Describe Your Vision
Once your project is created, you'll see the chat interface. This is where you communicate with the AI.
Write your first prompt:
"Create a modern portfolio website for a photographer. Include a hero section with a full-width image, a gallery grid, an about section, and a contact form. Use a dark theme with subtle animations."
Tips for great prompts:
- Be specific about what you want
- Mention the purpose (portfolio, landing page, blog)
- Describe the visual style (dark, minimal, colorful)
- List the sections you need
Step 3: Watch It Build
After you send your prompt, the AI will start generating your website. You'll see:
- Code being written in the file explorer
- Real-time preview updating as changes are made
- AI messages explaining what it's doing
This usually takes 30-60 seconds for the initial generation.
Step 4: Iterate and Refine
Your website is generated! Now you can refine it:
Example follow-up prompts:
- "Make the hero text larger"
- "Add a hover effect on the gallery images"
- "Change the primary color to purple"
- "Add a testimonials section"
The AI understands context, so you don't need to repeat yourself.
Step 5: Deploy Your Site
Ready to share your website with the world?
Click Publish
Click the "Publish" button in the top navigation bar.
Choose Your URL
Your site will be available at your-project.looops.ai or connect a custom domain.
Done!
Your website is now live on the global edge network with automatic SSL.
