Four steps to a live site
Every Vivd project moves through the same four stages, and the docs are organized the same way. New to Vivd? Read them in order — everything else builds on this path.
- 01CreateStart from a business brief, brand assets, and design references. Vivd generates the first real draft.Create from Scratch
- 02EditRefine the draft with AI chat, direct text edits, and asset workflows inside a real project workspace.Edit in Studio
- 03PublishMove the draft to live with the publish checklist, and know exactly what needs a republish.Publish Your Site
- 04OperateKeep the live site healthy: domains and publish targets, email identity, access, and troubleshooting.Domains & Publish Targets
