Getting Started

Pagesmith is an AI website builder that generates real, production-ready Astro sites with crawlable HTML, proper SEO defaults, and code you own.

Pagesmith is an AI-powered website builder that creates real, production-ready websites. Unlike tools that generate client-side React apps, Pagesmith outputs static-first Astro sites with server-side rendering when needed — sites that search engines can crawl, users can load instantly, and you can export and own forever.

How Pagesmith Works

  1. Describe your vision — Tell the AI what you want to build in plain English
  2. AI generates real code — Pagesmith creates an Astro project with proper HTML, CSS, and components
  3. Preview and refine — See your site live, make changes with AI or the visual editor
  4. Publish or export — Deploy to our global edge network or download the code

The output is a standard Astro project. No proprietary runtime, no vendor lock-in. If Pagesmith disappeared tomorrow, you’d still have a working website codebase.

What Makes Pagesmith Different

Crawlable HTML That Ranks

Most AI builders generate React apps that render in the browser. Search engines see empty <div id="root"></div> until JavaScript executes. Pagesmith generates static HTML for every page — your content is visible to crawlers immediately.

  • Unique meta tags and Open Graph images per page
  • Automatic sitemap.xml and robots.txt
  • Semantic HTML structure
  • Lighthouse scores of 95-100

Real Code You Own

Pagesmith outputs a standard Astro project structure:

my-site/
├── src/
│   ├── pages/          # Your routes
│   ├── components/     # Reusable components
│   └── layouts/        # Page layouts
├── public/             # Static assets
├── astro.config.mjs    # Astro configuration
└── package.json

Export anytime. Host anywhere. Modify with any code editor.

Static-First, SSR When Needed

Most pages are pre-rendered at build time (SSG) for maximum performance. When you need dynamic features — forms, user data, API calls — Pagesmith can add server-side rendered pages with database access.

  • Static pages: Blogs, landing pages, documentation
  • SSR pages: Dashboards, authenticated content, dynamic data
  • React islands: Interactive components within static pages

Production-Ready Defaults

Every site includes what production sites need:

  • Responsive design (mobile, tablet, desktop)
  • Performance optimization (image lazy loading, minimal JS)
  • SEO setup (meta tags, canonical URLs, structured data)
  • Accessibility basics (semantic HTML, proper headings)

Solo founders building marketing sites and landing pages that need to rank on Google.

Indie hackers shipping docs, blogs, and product pages without React complexity.
