Getting Started

New to Kanorio and not sure where to begin? Don't worry—you don't need to know how to code or design, and you don't need to add a credit card or master every advanced feature on day one.

"Getting Started" focuses on one goal: helping you go from an idea to a professional, live website you can share with the world in under 30 minutes.

What will this category help you achieve?

We have distilled the first-day website-building journey into five core steps, plus a handy glossary of terms:

1. Understand Kanorio and choose your build mode: Learn about the "Kanorio-hosted" and "Headless" build modes, who they are for, and what you can do with the Free plan.
2. Build your first site with AI: Follow the 4-step wizard to input your brand name, images, colors, and call-to-action buttons, and let AI generate your first draft (or create a Headless site and copy the starter kit for AI).
3. Get to know the editor: Learn how to click on blocks to edit text, swap images, and check your mobile layout on the WYSIWYG canvas.
4. Set up a free URL and publish for the first time: Pick a memorable .kanorio.com free URL and hit publish to take your site live.
5. Compare plans and evaluate when to upgrade: Understand the differences between the Free, Pro, and Business plans regarding custom domains, storage, data collection limits, AI credits, monthly email quotas, and platform fees.
6. Look up unfamiliar terms: Keep our plain-language glossary handy for terms like modules, drafts, subdomains, DNS, and SEO.

How is this different from other categories?

• Vs. "Build Your Site": This category covers your journey from "first build to first publish." When you want to add more pages, use our 40+ modules, write blog posts, or set up headers and footers, head over to Build Your Site.
• Vs. "Account & Team": If you want to learn about passwordless login (Google/Email/Passkey), invite team members to collaborate, or manage multiple websites, visit Account & Team.
• Vs. "Subscription & Payment": The Plan Comparison in this category helps you understand the specs of our three plans. When you are ready to upgrade, apply for an educational discount, purchase additional usage, download invoices, or use our referral program, visit Subscription & Payment.

Quick tips before you start

• Don't wait for perfect assets: Use your current brand name, one photo, and a contact link to let AI generate your first draft. You can swap everything out once you are in the editor.
• AI generates a "first draft," not the final version: You have 100% freedom to edit, hide, or delete any headline, body text, image, or button generated by AI.
• Saving a draft is not the same as publishing: Changes made in the editor are saved as drafts (visible only to you and your team). Once you are satisfied, click "Publish" in the top right corner to update your live site.
