Getting started with Artefact
Everything you need to go from zero to a live website. No experience needed — just tell us about your business and we'll handle the rest.
Available on all plans, including free.
Step-by-step
- 1
Go to artefact.bz and click 'Get started free'
No account needed to get started. Click the button on the homepage and you'll be taken straight to the site builder. There's no form to fill — just describe your business.
- 2
Describe your business in plain English
Type what you do, who you serve, and where you're based. For example: 'I run a mobile dog grooming business in Austin, TX. I specialise in anxious and large-breed dogs and offer home visits.' The more detail you give, the better your site. But even a sentence or two is enough to get started.
- 3
Preview your generated site
In under 60 seconds, Artefact generates a complete website — sections, copywriting, layout, colours, and structure. Review the preview and see how it looks. You can edit anything you don't like.
- 4
Create a free account to save and publish
To save your site and make it live, you'll create a free account using your email. We send a magic link — no password required. Once you confirm, your site is saved to your dashboard.
- 5
Publish to your free artefact.bz link
Click 'Publish' and your site goes live instantly at a free link like yourbusiness.artefact.bz. Share it with customers right away — it's a real, working website.

Edit anything with AI
In your dashboard, use the chat box to ask for changes. 'Make the hero headline punchier', 'add a section about our pricing', 'change the colour scheme to navy and gold'. Changes apply in seconds. See the editing guide for more detail.
