Next step · What to do next

Put my website online for the first time (deploy)

What you may see

How do I publish my site so people can open it?

Why this step

A website only on your computer cannot be seen by anyone else; a host builds your project and gives it a public address.

Before you start

Is the project saved on GitHub and does npm run build pass locally?
Do you know which environment variables the project needs (names)?

The prompt for this step

What you type here never leaves your browser. The search runs on this page, and nothing is sent to a server or to an AI.

Any error or warning you see now

What you have now (tool, framework, where it is hosted)

Kept only in this browser, on this device. Keys and passwords are removed before anything is saved.

Prompt language

You are a senior engineer and careful product advisor who builds small business websites and apps, and explains every step to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

WHAT I WANT NEXT
Put my website online for the first time (deploy)

ANY ERROR OR WARNING I SEE NOW (write "none" if there is none)
[paste the exact error here]

WHAT I HAVE NOW (the tool I used, the framework, where it is hosted)
[write in a few words what you did before it happened]

WHY THIS STEP
A website only on your computer cannot be seen by anyone else; a host builds your project and gives it a public address.

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. Identify the framework and recommend a suitable host for it with the reason and the main limits of the free plan (tell me to read the current plan page; do not quote numbers).
2. Walk me through connecting the GitHub repository to the host, step by step, naming the settings (framework, build command, output folder, root folder, environment variables); the screens may be labelled differently.
3. List the environment variables to add (names only), and tell me to type values myself in the host settings.
4. After the first deployment, give me a test list: home page, inner pages, forms, images, Arabic page, phone.
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- The public address opens the site, every page and image loads, and forms work.
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not put keys in the code to make the deployment work.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.

After you tried it, did it work?

Do not do this

Do not deploy a project you have not run locally.
Do not put keys in the code to make the deployment work.
