Getting started with Repaint

Getting started with Repaint only takes a few minutes. You describe what you want to build, create an account to start your free trial, and the AI builds a first version. From there, you keep chatting to shape it into what your business needs.

How to get started

You don't need to prepare anything in advance. Repaint can build from a single description. It works best when you give it something to work from, like your current website, photos of your products, or a few sites whose style you like.

1. Describe what you want to build. You start by entering a description on repaint.com. If you already have a website, you can import it by entering its URL on the website redesign page instead.
2. Create your account. A popup asks you to sign up with Google or an email link, which starts your free trial.
3. Share anything else. In the chat, you can upload files like your logo, photos, or a product list to give the AI more to work with.
4. Let the AI build. Repaint may ask a few questions before it builds a first version.
5. Keep chatting to change it. You can ask the AI to change anything you want, or click the pencil button on your preview to edit text directly.
6. Publish. You can click Publish in the top right, or ask the AI to publish it. Your site goes online at a free Repaint address.
7. Connect your domain. When you're ready, you can connect a domain you own, and the AI gives you the exact DNS records to add. You'll need one to accept payments or email your customers. If you don't have one yet, you can buy one from any domain provider.

Keep building

Once your first project is live, you can keep adding to it through the same chat. Some common next steps:

• Accept payments. Sell products, services, bookings, or subscriptions.
• Add customer accounts. Let customers sign in to track orders, manage bookings, or access member content.
• Send email. Send receipts, confirmations, and newsletters from your own domain.
• Collect form submissions. Add a contact form that saves responses and emails you.

Tips for better results

• Give design direction. Working with Repaint is a lot like working with a designer. It does most of the design work, but it needs direction to match your vision. You can give it that direction by sharing colors, a mood, or sites you like.
• Bring context about your business. The more the AI knows about your business, the less generic the result. Images, screenshots, and PDFs all help.
• Edit the first draft before judging it. The first version may have mistakes, like hard-to-read text or a section that doesn't look right. Most issues can be fixed with a single message, so it's worth making a few edits before deciding how you feel about it.
• Show the AI what you mean. The camera button on your preview attaches a screenshot of what you're looking at to your next message.
