Creating your first website

Starting on kotisivukamu.fi​

New customers usually start on the kotisivukamu.fi front page. You don't need an account beforehand.

  1. Describe what you want to build. Give the company or project name and your current website address if you have one. Click Start.
  2. A proposal is put together from your description and your current site. On the Check the proposal page, check the site name, industry, tagline, brief, services and contact details. The brief is what you want from the site, and the build follows it.
  3. Choose a theme (light or dark), optionally a colour scheme, and a logo: Use the current logo, Create a logo with AI or Upload your logo.
  4. Fill in the subscriber details: Company, Company to be founded or Private person. You can look up a company by name in the trade register.
  5. Accept the terms and the privacy policy and click Approve and create the website.
  6. Click Continue with Google, or enter your email address and type in the 6-digit code sent to it.

Your account is created at the same time, the build starts right away, and you are taken to the dashboard to follow it. The preview is free and needs no payment card. See also Signing up.

Starting in the dashboard​

If you already have an account, a new site is created with the Create site button on the Sites page.

Filling in site details​

The form has three steps:

  1. Site type: choose Company site, Portfolio, Blog or publication, or One pager. If you already have a website, choose Renew my current website, and the texts, logos and images of the current site are fetched as the basis for the new one.
  2. Name and description: give the site a name (e.g. "Smith Construction"), choose the team and describe in your own words what you want to build. When renewing, give the address of the current site and, if you like, the changes you want. The description is turned into prefilled details for the next step.
  3. Check the details: complete and correct the details before the build. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
    • Basic details: name, team, tagline, industry, description and business type, which helps Google categorize your business correctly (e.g. Restaurant, Dentist)
    • Content: current website, services, pages and free-form additional instructions. You can also choose to build only a single landing page.
    • Brand: main colour, style, optionally a reference site as a style model, and the logo. You can upload a logo, fetch it from your current site or create one with AI. If you have no logo, choose No logo, use text only.
    • Contact details: email, phone, address and opening hours. Opening hours are also shown in Google search results.

New site form

Finally, click Starting the build!. If you leave the form unfinished, the site stays in the site list as a draft, and you can continue it later.

A new site starts with a free trial. One user can create up to 5 trial sites, and the Trials counter on the Sites page shows where you stand. After that, a new site is created with a paid plan. See Subscriptions.

Building the site​

After you submit the details, the AI builds the site automatically. Building usually takes 20-30 minutes. You can follow the progress in the dashboard in real time.

During the build, the AI:

  1. Studies your business and any existing website
  2. Plans the site structure and content
  3. Builds the technical framework
  4. Produces texts, selects images, and designs the layout
  5. Tests the site for quality and functionality

Monitoring the build​

In the build view you can watch the site take shape in a preview, step by step. You can also open the preview in a new tab. You can close the tab, as the build continues in the background.

When the site is ready, click View and edit the site. The site is available at {site}.kskamu.app until you connect your own domain.

If your current website cannot be read, because it blocks automated crawlers, the address does not respond or there is no site at the address yet, the site is built from your description. In that case it is worth adding the logo, images and texts afterwards in Studio.

Requesting changes​

If you want changes to the site, you can request them directly from the dashboard. Go to Updates → Assistant in the site sidebar and describe what you want to change. The AI will make the changes for you. Updates are usually completed in 15-20 minutes. You can also make changes yourself in Studio.

The site's first successful build is free. Later updates and Studio use consume Kamu Balance.
