Intro: The All-in-One Website Builder

CodeWords reframes web development as a single workflow: you describe what the site or app should do, and the platform helps you turn that into a full-stack experience you can ship and refine in conversation. Less context-switching between mockups, repos, and deploy dashboards; more time on the product itself.

What you can do with CodeWords

Research and Plan: You can use CodeWords to research your target audience, and formulate a strategy during the plan phase.

Build and Develop: Construct full-stack applications with complex backends, databases, and user authentication through simple, natural language commands.

Generate Pictures & Videos: You can generate high-quality videos & pictures using the CodeWords built-in video & image generation services.

Payment Integration: Connect to external services like Stripe to integrate payments for your website.

Deploy and Host: Publish your application to the web with the press of a button, with all the domain, hosting and infrastructure managed by CodeWords.

Web Analytics: Track website visit to understand your website analytics to improve your application. Getting Started: Your First App in Minutes

Getting Started: Your First App in Minutes

We designed CodeWords so you can go from idea to a live web app without a long setup curve. Follow this guide for the essential steps to launch your first project.

1. Start your project

Begin by describing what you want to build in plain English. Clear goals, audience, and sections usually produce a stronger first pass.

For example:

“Build a one-page site for a boutique coffee roastery: hero with product photo and ‘Shop beans’ CTA, ‘How we roast’ story, three featured blends with prices, a wholesale inquiry form, and a footer with hours and Instagram.”

2. Review and refine the plan

CodeWords will turn your brief into a concrete plan: what gets built first, which pages or flows matter, and how the stack is organized. Read it like a short spec and if something is missing, too big, or not quite right, reply with changes before you commit to the full build.

3. Watch CodeWords build

Once you’re happy with the plan, Cody implements it. You follow progress as the app takes shape and use an interactive preview early so you’re reviewing something clickable.

4. Iterate with natural language

Stay in the preview: describe deltas and see them applied without hand-editing every file.

Example (visual):

“Make the primary CTA coral, not green, and increase tap target size on mobile.”

Example (structure):

“Insert a two-column ‘Wholesale’ block above the footer: copy on the left, form on the right.”

When you’re ready to go live, tell Cody to publish the app or click the publish button and deploy to *.codewords.run (and custom domains when configured).
