One of the most popular things to do with Fig is build a website — and then put it online with your own web address. Here’s how it works, start to finish.

​
Build your website

In a chat, tell Fig what kind of website you want. Include anything that matters to you, like:
  • What your business does
  • The name you want shown
  • The style or colors you like
  • Any sections you need (about, services, contact, booking, and so on)
You can also pick a style to point Fig in the right direction — browse by type (like Landing Page, Portfolio, or Ecommerce), by outcome, or by look. Then Fig builds a complete website for you, ready to view and edit.

Don’t worry about getting it perfect on the first try. You can change anything afterward — just tell Fig what you’d like different.

​
Make it your own

The easiest way to fine-tune your website is to simply tell Fig what to change in the chat. For example, “Update the colors of my website to silver and gold” or “Make the headline bigger.” Fig updates your site and shows you a live preview. You can change just about anything this way:
  • Text — update any wording
  • Images — swap in your own photos
  • Templates — try a different layout
  • Fonts & colors — match your brand’s look
  • Sections — add, remove, or reorder parts of the page
  • Business type — help Fig tailor the design to your kind of business

​
Publish it for free

When you’re ready, publish your website to put it online. Every Fig website can go live for free at a hellofig.app web address — so you can share it with anyone right away, at no cost.
1

Open your site's settings

From your website, go to the General tab. You’ll see its publish status — a new site starts as Not published.
2

Pick a domain and publish

Tap Pick domain and publish, choose a free hellofig.app address, and confirm. Fig puts your site online and your address is ready to share.

Use your own custom domain

A custom domain is your own web address — like yourbusiness.com — instead of the free hellofig.app one. It makes your business look more professional and easier to remember. Why it’s worth it:
  • Builds trust with your visitors
  • Strengthens your brand with a name that’s truly yours
  • Helps people find you and discover your business online
In the Domains tab you have two choices:
  • Get a standard domain — pick a free hellofig.app subdomain to publish your site instantly.
  • Buy a new domain — search for the perfect web address (like yourbusiness.com) and buy it right inside Fig, then publish your site to it.
Buying a custom domain is part of Fig Premium.

After you set up a custom domain, it can take a few minutes to go live while everything connects behind the scenes. That’s normal — Fig handles the technical parts for you.
