Build a company website with AI and put it online

Ask for a simple site

Ask the helper to write the pages as HTML. A company site in this guide means files you can open in a browser: a home page, a short description, and a way to contact you that is written on the page.

You can start the helper with the same prompt as the homepage:

Deploy my app with Vinssi. Instructions: vinssi.ai/get-started.md

What to publish

A single .html file becomes the site index page. A folder is published as it is. Put index.html at the root of the folder. Dotfiles and symbolic links are skipped.

If you have nothing written yet, the get-started guide says to write one HTML file, such as hello.html, and publish that file. For a company site, ask the helper to replace that example with your own pages before publishing.

Sign in and publish

Run vinssi login if the command is installed. If it is not, run npx -y vinssi login. The command line tool needs Node 20 or newer. Login opens the dashboard. A workspace is created the first time you sign in.

vinssi pages publish /absolute/path/to/folder --json

Use the real path to your file or folder. --namesets the display name and the start of the URL. If you omit it, the name comes from the file. Addresses look like https://<name>-<random>-<workspace>.pages.vinssi.ai.

Check the URL and expect 200. A site that was just published can return 404 for about ten seconds. One retry after a short wait is enough.

Price and the Pages guide

Prices for an app start at €5 a month per app, excluding VAT. Pages itself does not need a plan. Read the Pages guide before you publish. These steps were not run against a signed-in Vinssi account for this guide.
