## Summary

Describe your publication and the AI builds the front page, the sections and the article pages. After that, adding a story is as simple as sending it the text.

## Key facts

- Front page with top stories: The home page leads with your main story, then the latest headlines and each section. Ask the AI to move a story to the top and the front page follows.
- Topic sections: Sections like Local, Politics, Sport or Culture, each with its own page and a clean address such as /sport. Add or rename a section by asking in plain words.
- A page for every article: Every story gets its own page with headline, photo, author and date, published with a title, a description and structured data for search engines.
- Stories online fast: Send the AI the text and a photo, or fix a line right on the page. Stories can also live in the site database, where each one is a row you edit like a table.
- Latest news and newsletter: A latest news list shows what is new across all sections. Readers sign up for your newsletter in a form saved in your database, or through your Mailchimp or Kit form.
- Reader tips and stats: A tips form keeps every message readers send you. Stats show who is reading right now, which stories are read most and where your readers come from.

A news website for your town, your topic or your magazine

## Ideas to try

- A local news site for The Harbour Gazette in Portsmouth: top stories, sections for council, sport and events, and a form for readers to send tips
- An online magazine called Northern Plate about the food scene in Leeds: restaurant reviews by area, chef interviews, a weekly newsletter and Instagram
- A news site for Friday Lights covering high school football around Dallas: match reports, a page per team, the latest scores and a newsletter
- A community news portal in English and Polish for Poles in Chicago: local news, events, a jobs board and a form to send us a story

## How to make a news website

1. **Describe your publication**: Write what you cover, for which town or audience, and the sections you need. The AI fills in the name and contacts and asks up to five short questions that fit.
2. **Add stories and your look**: Paste or upload your first articles, photos and logo, or import your current site from its address. Pick a style and colors that suit your paper, or leave both on Automatic.
3. **Publish and keep it current**: Publish with one button and share the link. Each new story after that is a message to the AI or a few clicks on the page, then one more press of Publish.

## Frequently asked questions

### How fast can I publish a breaking story?

As fast as you can write it. Send the AI the text and a photo, check the article in the preview and press Publish, with no developer in between. You can do it from our phone app too, right from where the news is happening.

### Can several editors work on the site?

The site belongs to one account and there are no separate editor roles. If a small team shares that account, give access only to people you trust. Every AI edit is saved as a restore point, so a mistake can be undone, and reporters can send stories through a form.

### Can I organize the news into sections?

Yes. Tell the AI the sections you want, like Local, Business, Sport or Opinion, and each gets its own page and address. Every article sits in its section and also shows up on the front page and in the latest news list.

### Will my stories appear in Google News?

Google decides on its own which sites it shows in Google News, so no one can promise it. What we do is publish every article with a title, a description, structured data and a clean address, which is what search engines read.

### Can I use my own domain for the news site?

Yes, with Premium. Connect a domain you already own or buy one inside the app, and get email on that domain, like news@yourpaper.com. Without Premium, the site runs on a free address with a small badge.
