Getting started

Create your first website, find its free vpress.app address, and see what a role can and can't do.

Sign up with your email and a password, then verify the address from the link we send — you can't create a website until that's done.

Create your first website

From My websites, press New website. The moment it's created it has a live address — your-name.vpress.app — so there's something to open and share before you've written a single page. Nothing about that address changes if you connect a domain of your own later; see Connecting a custom domain.

Find your way around

Open a website from My websites and you land on its dashboard, with a sidebar down the side and an Open site link in the top corner that opens the live site in a new tab. Which sections you see there depends on two things: your role on that website, and what your plan includes. A section you don't see isn't hidden — it either needs a higher role or isn't on your plan yet.

Roles run from viewer up to owner, and decide who can publish, manage the team, or change billing. See Team roles and permissions for the full ladder.
