Websites from a chat, checked and online.

Enter a name of up to 80 characters and choose the AI access: as in Settings, always Claude Code, or the Claude API with a key of its own, such as your client's. The name becomes the folder. Free has one website, a Pages package as many as your allowance covers.

You can change name and AI access at any time, even for an archived or locked website. The folder stays the same when you rename. A website's own API key stays encrypted in Pages on this Mac and is only sent to Anthropic.

Brings back a website you backed up with Pages, as a folder or a ZIP file. Pages takes over data, design, photos, chat and history, plus server, port, user and web folder for publishing, creates the website anew and builds it with the current version, no AI needed. You choose the AI access as when creating a website, and if the name is taken, Pages suggests a free one. A backup never contains a password, and the allowance applies as when creating a website.

If you choose the folder of a website built with the Page Builder toolkit under Import website, Pages takes over its photos, fonts and favicons and has the AI rebuild it step by step, with the copy taken from the original, in 30 to 90 minutes depending on size. The AI only starts once you click Start takeover in the workspace, and you can stop and continue later at any time. Pages lists what is not taken over. The original stays untouched.

Export backup in the Publish website window puts the whole website with data, design, all photos, chat and history as a ZIP into your Downloads folder, plus server, port, user and web folder for publishing. It always works, in Free too and for an archived or locked website. Passwords and API keys are not included.

Every card carries a badge: Draft, Published, Open facts, Update pending, Locked or Folder missing. Open facts means something is listed under Still missing, or the domain or host is missing. Update pending means the published website has changed since or a newer kit is installed: publish it again. A website is locked when your package has no place for it; the oldest ones stay active. Viewing and exporting still work, and editing does again once a place is free.

Archiving saves the website as a ZIP in its folder and frees its place in your allowance. Viewing and exporting still work, and you reactivate it once a place is free.

Enter sends, Shift+Enter starts a new line. To get you started there are three example messages, and a click puts one into the field. Give concrete facts and say how the site should feel; Pages works through larger requests in one run. Pages stores the chat per website.

Every message is a run in fixed steps: save the state, the AI works only with Pages' own tools, then build and check. If something is red, the AI fixes it for at most two rounds, otherwise the previous state is back. You follow the progress live, and Stop cancels.

Pages builds with Claude, through your signed-in Claude Code or an Anthropic API key. You set it once in Settings and, where needed, per website, for example with your client's key. The status bar shows which access applies right now.

Answers appear as formatted text with lists, tables and code; you can select and copy text, and Copy code copies a code block. Links open in your browser, images from the web are not loaded on their own, and HTML stays text. If Pages discarded a change, the note appears below the answer.

Whatever the AI needs but doesn't know becomes a question under Still missing, and it asks you in the chat. Once the detail is there, the question disappears. The preview keeps working; publishing only works once nothing is open.

Pages needs the domain for the fixed addresses of the pages and as the target when publishing. The host's name and address belong in the privacy policy, and Use profihost GmbH fills both fields with that provider's details.

Name, legal form, representation, address, phone, email, VAT ID and register entry. Pages checks that the required details are complete, such as who represents the business, a second fast way to get in touch besides email and, for a GmbH, UG or e. V., the register court and number.

Once you have read the legal notice and privacy policy and the details are correct, tick the box. Without this confirmation Pages won't publish. If you change business details later, read both pages again.

Runs after every change from the chat and with Check now. It rebuilds the website and checks content, links, external sources, open facts and required details, plus accessibility and width in a browser. For that Pages uses Google Chrome, Chromium or Microsoft Edge.

At the top the summary with date and time, green when the website is ready to publish. Below it each check part with a tick, a yellow warning triangle or a red sign and the number of findings. Red you have the AI fix in the chat; yellow usually means adding facts.

Page titles up to 60 characters, descriptions of 120 to 160, exactly one main heading, alternative text on every image. Nothing from external servers, no iframes, no links that lead nowhere, and a legal notice and privacy link on every page. Accessibility is checked with axe at 390 and 1440 pixels wide.

Additionally measures every page meant for search engines with Lighthouse on mobile, in one to two minutes. It runs by itself before every publish to your server, or when you click. If performance falls below the threshold, Pages measures the page once more and the better score counts.

The server without https:// and without a path, the port (usually 22), the user, sign-in by password or SSH key, and the web folder your host set up for the domain. With WebDonkey Premium you pick a server saved there and Pages fills in the access. Password and passphrase stay encrypted on this Mac, only apply to the server you saved them for and never go into the website's folder or a backup.

Shows whether sign-in works, whether the web folder exists and Pages may write there, and whether a web server is already running. If anything is missing, Pages offers to prepare the server.

On the first connection Pages remembers the server's fingerprint and compares it every time after. If the server identifies itself differently than last time, Pages shows a red warning. Until the fingerprint is confirmed, Pages uploads nothing.

On Debian and Ubuntu with shell access: Caddy from the official package source, the web folder, secure settings, HTTPS through Let's Encrypt and ports 80 and 443. The plan is shown in plain words first, and nothing starts before you click. Pages doesn't store the sudo password. Mail sending for the contact form is not part of this setup, and Pages tells you so.

When testing, publishing and preparing, Pages names the reason in plain words and says what you can do: wrong port, key not accepted, web folder missing, no SFTP for this account or no space left on the server.

A click applies the theme right away. Built in are Aurora (dark), Arctic (light) and System, plus Follow WebDonkey when WebDonkey is there. Add ready-made presets, your own themes and, with WebDonkey, copies of your themes from there.

Name, a dark or light base, background, accent and second accent, plus an icon. A large preview shows text, muted text, status colours and buttons in these colours. Any built-in theme or preset can be edited as a copy.

Themes other people shared, sorted by new or popular, with a fuzzy search. Pages only loads the list from webdonkey.io when you click. Take over puts a copy under Your themes.

Share your own themes with others. They appear once they have been checked and approved, and your name is never shown. At most three submissions wait at the same time, and you can withdraw a waiting one at any time.

When Pages finds a new version, it shows it with its release notes once per version, as soon as you are not typing and no other window is open. The status bar shows a pending update, and Settings › Updates › Check now asks right away.

Install now asks the shop once more, downloads the update, checks its signature and restarts Pages, with the progress in per cent on the button. Let running work such as a takeover or a publish finish first.

Every version with its changes, the installed one marked, older ones loaded on request. It opens with What's new in Settings or in the update notice. Pages doesn't load images in release notes on its own.

Every component from the app, the Rust libraries and the Pages kit, searchable by name or licence. For image processing Pages uses libvips under the GNU LGPL, with a link to the source code of each version, and you may replace these libraries with a modified version. Pages contains no components under the GPL.

Pages goes online to the shop for the licence, updates, the docs and the theme gallery, to Anthropic or through your Claude Code for the AI, and to your server for publishing. Your websites with their facts, photos and history stay in their folders on your computer.
