How Nanopage works
You describe your business in a sentence and attach the files you already have: a menu, a price list, photos. Nanopage builds a website from them in a few minutes and puts it online. After that, you change it by typing what you want.
Below are four screen recordings of the real app, building and then editing one site for a small bakery. Nothing is staged; only the waiting is sped up. The written steps are under each video if you need them.
Build the site
You describe the business in one sentence and attach the files you already have. Nanopage reads them and builds a website from their content.
Show the written stepsHide the written steps+
On your dashboard, click New site.
Pick what kind of site it is. The bakery is Restaurant.
Describe it in a sentence or two: who it is for and what visitors should do.
Neighbourhood bakery in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. Warm, simple and a little old-fashioned. We want more people to order celebration cakes a week ahead and to find our window.
Attach your files. Here: a menu PDF, a cake price spreadsheet, a flyer with the opening hours, a short text about the bakery and four photos.
Optionally open Name & web address to pick the name and the address (yourname.npage.dev). Skip it and Nanopage picks both. Click Generate site.
Wait while it builds. This one took 3 minutes 36 seconds; the video speeds it up.
The site opens in the editor with a preview. The first version is already online at its address.
Add a contact form
Forms are added by asking for them. The form works as soon as the version is live, and messages are stored in the site’s CMS tab.

Open the site from your dashboard.
Type the change into the box under the version list and click Send change.
Add a contact page with a contact form (name, email, message) and some basic info: our address, phone and opening hours.
Nanopage builds a new version. Here it took 1 minute 23 seconds. The new page appears in the menu.
In Versions, click Make live on the new version to put it on the public site.
A customer fills in the form on their phone and gets a confirmation.
The message shows up in the CMS tab under the form’s submissions. Open it to read it and reply by email.
Change content by asking
Everyday edits are one sentence each: new hours, a menu change, a new photo. Nanopage finds every place on the site that needs updating.

A fact that appears in several places. The hours were in the header tag and the Visit section; both changed.
We’re now open on Mondays too, 7am to 3pm. Please update the opening hours everywhere on the site.
A menu change. The rye was crossed out and the new loaf added with its price.
The seeded rye is sold out this week, so cross it off the menu. And add a pumpkin loaf to the bread list for $10.
A new photo. Click Add files, attach the picture, and say where it goes.
Use this new photo as the main picture at the top of the home page.
Each ask took under a minute. Make the last version live to publish all three.
Click any older version to preview it. Every version is kept; click Make live on an older one to go back to it.
Fix layout and design
Layout and design are changed the same way. Check the phone preview, describe what looks wrong, and ask for it to be fixed.

Switch the preview to Mobile. Here the menu at the top wrapped onto three lines.
Describe the problem and what you want instead.
On phones the menu at the top wraps onto three messy lines. Please turn it into a tidy menu button that opens the links.
Remove things that are out of date. The page, the banner and the menu link were all removed.
The autumn promo is over. Remove the promo page, the orange banner and the Autumn Promo link in the menu.
Adjust the look.
Freshen up the design a little: more space between sections, softly rounded corners on photos and buttons, and slightly bigger headings.
Make the version live, then compare it with an older version from the same morning.
What happens when you click Generate
- Your files are attached to the jobUploads go with the build request so the AI can read them as source material.
- Documents are turned into textReadable PDFs, docs and spreadsheets are converted so the real names, prices and dates are used, not guessed.
- Photos are used as photosImages become part of the page: hero, gallery, product shots.
- The AI writes and lays out the siteIt picks the pages and sections, writes the copy from your facts and description, and designs the layout.
- The site is publishedThe first version goes online at its own address. Later versions wait until you make them live.
Limits
- Nanopage builds content websites: businesses, portfolios, events, listings, resumes. It is not for apps with logins, shops with carts, or custom software.
- The AI only knows what is in your files and description. If a price or address is missing, it is not invented; add it.
- Scanned PDFs that are only pictures of text cannot be read. If you cannot select the text in the PDF, type it into a .txt file instead.
- Uploads: up to 50 files per site build, 50 MB per file, 200 MB in total. Photos, PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV and text files all work.
- Building a site is free and includes one change. To keep changing it after that, the site needs a plan.

Questions
- Can I use my own domain?
- Yes. Every site gets a yourname.npage.dev address. To use your own domain, add it in the site workspace, create one A record at your domain registrar and click Verify. The certificate is set up automatically.
- Can I edit text myself instead of asking?
- Yes. Click Edit in the preview, then click any text, link or image to change it, or drag sections to reorder them. Form messages and content lists are in the CMS tab.
- Can someone else work on the site with me?
- Yes. Invite people by email from the site workspace. They can make changes, upload files and publish versions. Up to 20 collaborators per site on Growth and Pro, at no extra cost.
- Is there analytics?
- Yes. Every site has built-in, cookieless analytics: page views, visitors, top pages, referrers and countries for the last 7, 30 or 90 days. Nothing to install.
- What does it cost?
- Building a site is free. Plans start at $19 / year per website, with hosting and 50 AI changes a year included. The pricing page lists everything.
