Everything you need to go from "I have no website" to "here is my link".

What pageforge gives you

You answer a few questions, pick a look, and download a zip file. Inside the zip is a complete, finished website: a page (index.html), its style (style.css), your photos, and a README file with the same instructions as on this page. The site is yours - there is no account, nothing is stored on our side, and your text and photos never leave your browser while you build.

What kind of pages can I make?

Personal homepage - who you are, your links, your things.
Link hub - one tidy page with all your links (like a link-in-bio page).
Event page - a party, wedding, reunion or meetup: what, when, where, how to RSVP.
Small business one-pager - services, hours, contact.
Club or group page - what you do, when you meet, how to join.

On step 1, press one of the example buttons to start from a ready skeleton and overwrite the text with your own.

Seeing your page while you build

The preview next to the form is your actual page, updating as you type. On a phone, tap the yellow Preview button. Your draft is saved in your browser automatically - you can close the tab and continue later on the same device.

Putting your site online

Your site is plain HTML and CSS, so any web host can serve it - nothing to install, no database, no maintenance. Unzip the file first (right-click, "Extract All" on Windows; double-click on Mac), then pick a host. Free ones people like:

Netlify Drop - drag your folder onto the page, done. Their guide. Create the free account when asked, or the site is removed after an hour.
Neocities - built exactly for personal pages like yours. Their tutorials.
GitHub Pages - free and solid; their front page walks you through it.
Cloudflare Pages - drag-and-drop "direct upload"; guide behind the link.
Your own web host (webhotel) - if you already pay for hosting: upload the files into the folder your domain serves (usually public_html, www or htdocs) using your host's file manager or any FTP program such as FileZilla. Your host's help pages cover the details.

Whichever you pick: index.html must end up directly in the folder being served, not inside a subfolder.

Coming later: hosting directly here at pageforge - one click, no account. It is not open yet; the hosts above are the way online for now.

Changing your site later

Come back to the builder. If you are on the same device, your draft is still here.
On another device: use "Load your zip or site.json" on step 1 and pick the zip you downloaded (or the site.json file inside it). All your answers come back.
Make your changes, download a fresh zip, and upload it to your host the same way as the first time.

Sharing a preview

On the Download step you can copy a preview link. Your page travels inside the link itself - nothing is uploaded to any server. Photos are not included in preview links, so the link stays small enough to paste anywhere.

Common questions

Is it really free?

Yes. No account, no trial, no locked features.

Where is my data stored?

In your browser, on your device, and in the zip you download. We do not have a copy.

Can I get an address like www.myname.com?

Yes - buy a domain name (a few euros a year from any registrar) and connect it to your host. Netlify, GitHub Pages and Cloudflare all support this; search their help for "custom domain".

Can I edit the files myself?

Of course - it is plain HTML and CSS. Open index.html in any text editor. If you later re-import your zip here, hand-made edits to the HTML are not picked up (only site.json is read), so pick one way of editing and stick with it.
