Build a content site

This tutorial builds a polished marketing site for a small business: a homepage, a few sections, a blog for updates, and a contact form so visitors can reach you. Then you’ll publish it on your own web address. It builds on Build your first app.

You’ll lean on two of Exepad’s built-in features: the blog and forms. Both are ready to switch on — just ask for them.

1. Describe the site

Start a new app and paint the big picture in your first description — what the business is, and the main sections you want:

“A marketing website for Bloom & Co, a small florist. A homepage with a hero section, an about section, a gallery of our arrangements, and a footer with our hours and location. Clean and elegant, with soft colors.”

Exepad builds a complete, designed site from that. Give it a few minutes, then look it over in the preview.

2. Refine the look and words

Shape the design and content one request at a time:

“Use a warm cream background with deep green accents, and an elegant serif font for headings.”

“Change the hero headline to ‘Fresh arrangements for every occasion’ with a button that says ‘See our work.’”

“Add a testimonials section with three short customer quotes.”

Each request updates the site, and you review it in the preview as you go.

Point at a style you like

If you have a look in mind, describe it plainly — “modern and minimal,” “bold and playful,” “warm and rustic.” You can always steer it further afterward.

3. Add a blog

A blog keeps your site fresh and gives people a reason to come back. Switch it on by asking:

“Add a blog where I can post updates and seasonal tips, with a page that lists the latest posts.”

Exepad adds the blog and a place to write and manage your posts. Add a first post to see how it looks. For more on writing and managing posts, see Blog.

4. Add a contact form

Now give visitors a way to reach you:

“Add a contact page with a form asking for name, email, and a message, and let me see the submissions.”

“Email me whenever someone sends the contact form.”

Every message a visitor sends is saved for you, and you’ll get an email when one arrives. See Forms for what else forms can do.

5. Review the whole site

Click through the preview as a visitor would — open each section, read a blog post, send a test message through the contact form. If anything feels off, just describe the fix:

“Make the gallery images larger and show them three across.”

“Move the contact link to the top navigation.”

6. Publish on your own domain

When it’s ready, publish. Your site goes live at its own your-app.exepad.app link — ready to share in moments.

To use your own web address like www.bloomandco.com, connect a custom domain. Exepad walks you through it, and once it’s set up your site lives at your own address. See Custom domains for the step-by-step.

Made updates later? Publish again to push them live, or roll back if needed.
