# Building a website

> Use Draftship for landing pages, portfolios and business sites that look designed rather than generated.


Websites are apps without much logic — so the quality of your description matters most.

## Describe the site, section by section

Name the sections you want and what each one should say or do:

> "A one-page site for a ceramics studio: a hero with a large photo and a 'Book a class' button, a grid of six classes with prices, an about section, three testimonials, opening hours, and a contact form that saves messages."

## Set the look

Tell Draftship the mood rather than exact CSS: "warm and minimal, cream background, serif headings", "bold and dark with neon accents". You can always follow up with "use a bigger font for headings" or "make it feel more premium".

## Forms that actually work

Contact forms, waitlists and booking forms save their submissions to your app's database. Ask for "admin-only read" so only you can see them — see [Managing data permissions](/docs/security/managing-data-permissions). Read submissions in the **Data** tab.

## Publish

Your site is live at its Draftship address as soon as it builds. To use your own domain, see [Connecting a custom domain](/docs/domains/connecting-a-custom-domain).
