Create a site

A site is one website you own in Aglyn — its screens, theme, data, domain, and settings. Everything you build lives under a site, and you can own several.

The All Sites page with a Create site button, and one site card showing its Aglyn domain, its (unset) custom domain, and Visit and Manage actions

Create your first site​

  1. Sign in to the console.
  2. Open the site switcher in the app bar (top-left) and choose Create site.
  3. Give it a name. Aglyn generates a working subdomain immediately, so the site has a real address from the first moment — you can attach a custom domain later. The address resolves right away, but it has nothing to serve until you publish a screen at the site root, so a brand-new site answers its own URL with a not-found page. Starting from a starter template creates and publishes a home page for you; building by hand, that's your first screen.
  4. You land on the new site's Setup page (titled Host Setup), with tabs for Basic details, SEO, Theme, Custom Domain, Emails, and Activity. To start building rather than configuring, use the Screens tab in the site navigation — see Publish your first screen.
Name collisions

Site names must be unique enough to generate a valid subdomain. If a name is taken, the console suggests an available variation.

What a site contains​

  • Screens & layouts — the pages and the shared frames they render in.
  • Data — datasets, variables, functions, and workflows.
  • Media — images, video, and files, organized in folders.
  • Setup — theme, custom domain, SEO, and integrations under tabbed settings. The Site logo card (Details tab) sets your brand mark: it's shown on the live site's page-navigation loading overlay — a themed, blurred scrim with a progress bar. Without a logo, the loader shows your site name instead.
  • Billing — the plan and usage meters that gate features and quotas.

Switching between sites​

Use the site switcher in the app bar at any time. It lists your most recently used sites first; with more than a handful, type in the Find site… box to search every site you belong to by name, or choose View all sites. Your current site's display name appears in the breadcrumbs so you always know which site you're editing.
