1. Create your account
Go to getforge.studio and sign up with your email (or Google). Verify your email address — that’s what unlocks your free starter credits. No card needed to begin.
2. Start a new build
From your dashboard, open New build. You’ll see two things: a name field and an idea field.
- Name (optional) — this becomes your app’s web address (yourname.getforge.studio). Leave it blank and the forge names it from your idea.
- Your idea — one clear paragraph describing what you want.
3. Write the idea well
This is the part that matters most. A strong idea says what it is, who it’s for, and what should happen. For example:
“A booking page for my mobile dog-grooming van — three service tiers with prices, photos, and a form that emails me the booking.”
That one sentence gives the forge the job, the shape, and the outcome. One focused paragraph beats ten vague ones.
4. Pick a craft level
Choose how much care goes into the build:
Start with Standard for your first build — you can always ask for changes or forge a richer version later.
5. Forge it
Press the forge button and watch it work — the engine designs, writes, and deploys. In a few minutes you’ll have a live public URL. Open it, test it on your phone, send it to someone.
6. Shape it
Not quite right? On the build, open Ask for a change and describe what’s different — “make the header darker, add a testimonials section.” The live build reworks itself at the same address, for far fewer credits than a new build.
When you’re ready to keep it: connect your own domain, or press Save to GitHub to push the full source to your own account. It’s yours either way.
