Launch your first BaseStack site

Overview

BaseStack works best when you treat the first site as a strong draft, not a final exam. The fastest path is to add enough profile material, generate once, then refine the parts that need sharper positioning.

The recommended flow

Steps

• Open Create and answer the guided profile questions. Keep the answers specific: names, roles, projects, outcomes, tools, and links all help.
• Review your Data Tree before generating. Add missing experience, projects, social links, and photos if you have them.
• Choose Generate from the dashboard. Free accounts generate HTML sites; Pro and Studio accounts can also generate Next.js projects.
• Preview the result and use Edit with AI for broad changes like tone, structure, color direction, or section emphasis.
• Use manual editing for small copy or image-position fixes after the overall site feels right.
• Publish the site to claim a BaseStack slug and share the public link.

Do not over-polish the questionnaire

The Data Tree is the long-term source of truth. It is normal to start with rough answers, then improve the tree as you see what the generated site needs.

What to check before publishing

Key points

• Your name, role, and location are accurate.
• Every public link opens in a new tab and points to the right destination.
• Project descriptions include what you made, who it helped, and what tools or results matter.
• Photos are cropped well on desktop and mobile.
• The call to action matches your goal, such as hiring, consulting, collaborations, or portfolio review.
