## Describe your website

Start by entering a prompt that describes your website idea. For the best results, include details about the main goal of your website, which visitors you're targeting, and any specific pages that you need. For more information, read our [Prompting Best Practices](/en/welcome/prompting-best-practices/) documentation.

For example, you could enter this prompt to start a website for a bakery:

{{< nova-prompt>}}

Generate a website for a bakery. The website should include a homepage with an introduction to the bakery, a menu page with photos and descriptions of the baked goods, an about page with the bakery's story and team, and a contact page with a form for inquiries. Use a warm and inviting design with pastel colors and playful typography.

## Build your website

When you're ready, click _Start Building_ to generate the first version of your website. Nova will create the page structure, navigation, reusable sections, starter content, and style direction using the information in your prompt and any additional context you provided.

When Nova finishes, you can view your generated website in the preview panel:

## Refine your website

Review your website and make adjustments. You can make broad changes like asking Nova to change the style or tone of the website, or you can make specific edits to individual elements.

## Publish your website

When you are happy with your website, click _Publish_, select your domain, and click _Publish to Website_.
