01. What is Website Studio?
Website Studio treats a website as pages → sections → elements. The screen has five areas.
- Site structure panel — the list of pages and sections, plus Design system and Assets.
- Canvas — see how the site actually looks and click a section or text to select it.
- Properties panel — change the properties of the selected page, section or element. With nothing selected it says "Select a page, section or element to edit."
- PRIME input — describe what you want, for example "Ask PRIME (e.g. make the Hero more premium)".
- Top action buttons — save status, Undo/Redo, Build · Deploy · Publish and Download ZIP.
02. Getting started
Website Studio starts from a PRIME conversation. Describe the site you want; PRIME prepares a website project and shows a button in the conversation that opens Website Studio.
- In the PRIME conversation, explain what the site is, who the main visitors are and what they should do first. Attach brand materials or reference sites if you have them.
- Click the Open Website Studio button that appears in the conversation.
- When Website Studio opens, review the generated pages and sections and start editing.
To return to the conversation while editing, click PRIME chat at the top left. You can see it in the first screenshot of Screen layout.

Section presets and changing a section's style

08. Editing text
Under the canvas you will see the hint "Click to select, double-click text to edit it, click an image area to change it." Text editing follows this hint.

You can also ask PRIME. Select the section that contains the text and write the exact new wording in the PRIME input, for example “Change LOOKBOOK in the top menu to Collection”.
09. Layout and placement
When a section is selected, Placement appears near the top of the Properties panel and the layout tools appear further down.
Placement
- Placement mode — choose Background · Full width · Split · Normal for the basic image/text arrangement.
- Text position — click one of the nine cells to place the text.
- Overlay · Darkness — adjust the overlay type and darkness so text over an image stays readable.

| Text color | Pick the section text color from the design system colors. |
| Section spacing | Pick the vertical spacing of the section. |
| Surface | Pick a surface style such as flat, bordered, glass or floating cards. |

11. Using the design system
Design system manages the theme and colors used across the site in one place. Open it from the bottom left or from the Design system button in the Properties panel.
- Theme — choose the site's base theme: Light or Dark.
- Design direction — a summary of the site's design direction, such as site type, composition and things to avoid.
- Colors — change background, surface, card surface, body text, secondary text, border, primary button and other colors with the swatch or a HEX value.
Section style vs. design system
| Change | Affects | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Design system color | Every section that uses that color | You change brand colors or align the whole site's tone |
| Section style | Only the selected section | You want one section to use a different background or text color |
12. Checking responsive layouts
Use Desktop · Tablet · Mobile at the top right to preview the canvas at each screen size. It is item 5 in the Save and undo screenshot.
- Check per-size settings in the Responsive mode at the top and the Responsive tab in the Properties panel.
- For sections with images, the Mobile item in Placement lets you set Hide image on mobile and the mobile order directly.
13. Reusing sections as components
To use the same section (for example a shared header or footer) on several pages, save it as a component. Select the section and scroll to the bottom of the Properties panel.
- Layer — set the stacking order with Z-INDEX and Bring to front · Bring forward · Send backward · Send to back.
- Component · Global section — Save as component turns this section into a reusable component. As the panel explains, you can place it on other pages and update the master to apply changes everywhere.
14. Replacing images
Select a section with an image and the visual area appears at the top of the Properties panel. Clicking an image area on the canvas takes you to the same place.
- Preview — the current image and its status. If generation failed, a message and a retry button appear.
- Replace with AI — create a new image with AI for this slot. This uses credits.
- Replace with my image — upload your own image file.
- Choose an existing image — choose from images already in this project.
- Placement — change how the image and text are arranged. See Layout and placement.
15. Asking PRIME for changes in plain language
Instead of changing properties yourself, you can ask PRIME using the input box at the bottom of the screen.
- Select the section to change in the site structure panel or on the canvas. Without a selection, the request applies to the whole site.
- Check that "(section name) selected" appears above the input (item 5 in the section selection screenshot).
- Describe the change and click Send.
- Check the result on the canvas. If you don't like it, undo or ask again.
Example requests
- Default example in the input: "Ask PRIME (e.g. make the Hero more premium)"
- Example with a section selected: "How should Fullscreen hero change? e.g. add an image of a female model"
- Name the target and the result together, for example “Turn this section into 3-column cards”, “Use one column on mobile” or “Make this button black”.
16. Save · Undo · Redo
Your edits are saved automatically. Check the save status and undo buttons at the top right.
- Save status — shows Saved, Saving, Save failed or Conflict.
