When you generate a site using Website Studio, the platform creates a fully compiled web application.

This means the output is:

These files are not meant to be pasted into a WordPress site.

Instead, they should be deployed on:

If you are not comfortable deploying web applications, you may need help from a developer or DevOps engineer.

After generating a site in Website Studio, download the project files.

You will receive a compressed archive containing the full website.

Once extracted, the folder will contain the application structure.

Example structure:

These files represent the complete compiled website.

To test the website locally, open the project folder in a code editor.

Recommended editors:

Example using Visual Studio Code:

1️⃣ Open Visual Studio Code
2️⃣ Click File → Open Folder
3️⃣ Select the folder containing your website files

You should now see the full file structure in the editor.

Website Studio sites must run on a web server, even for local testing.

The fastest way to do this is using Python's built-in HTTP server.

You must have:

Open a terminal inside the project folder and run:

Your terminal should display something like:

This means the website is now running locally on your machine.

Now open your browser and navigate to:

Your Website Studio site should now load.

You are now running the website locally.

This allows you to:

Once the site is tested locally, it must be deployed to a hosting environment.

Common options include:

Examples:

Examples:

Examples:

Examples:

A developer may configure the deployment depending on your infrastructure.

Website Studio does not generate WordPress themes or plugins.

Attempting to upload or paste these files into WordPress will not work.

Website Studio generates a standalone web application that must run on its own server.

If you need a WordPress site, the design would need to be rebuilt as a WordPress theme.

Website Studio is ideal when you want to:

This architecture enables:

Check that:

Correct format:

Use another port.

Example:

Then open:

You may need help from:

Simply provide them with the Website Studio project files.

If your Website Studio project is not working correctly, review the following checks.

This usually happens when the site is opened without a server.

Make sure the project is running using:

Then access it through:

Possible causes:

• JavaScript errors
• Missing assets folder
• Incorrect deployment path

Check the browser console for errors:

Your system may not have Python installed.

Check by running:

If Python is not installed, download it from:

https://python.org

If port 4173 is occupied, use another port.

Example:

Then open:

Website Studio sites work best when deployed on modern hosting environments.

Recommended setup:

This setup provides:

✔ Faster load times
✔ SEO-friendly architecture
✔ Better scalability
✔ More control over deployment

Here are the most common mistakes users make when trying to run their Website Studio project.

Website Studio does not generate WordPress themes or plugins.

Trying to upload the files into:

will not work.

Website Studio sites must run as standalone web applications.

Some users double-click index.html expecting the site to work.

This often breaks the application because many components require a web server environment.

Always run the project using a local server.

Example:

Uploading the files to random file storage services will not run the application correctly.

Instead, deploy the site using:

If you are not a developer, you can still deploy your Website Studio site using common hosting services.

Most traditional hosting providers allow you to upload a website using File Manager or FTP.

Examples of compatible hosting providers include:

These services allow you to host static websites, which works perfectly with Website Studio exports.

Follow these steps:

Export the website from Website Studio and extract the zip file on your computer.

You will see a folder containing files such as:

Go to your hosting provider dashboard.

Example:

Inside your hosting dashboard, open:

Navigate to your website root directory.

This is usually called:

or

Upload all files from your Website Studio folder into:

Make sure index.html is in the root folder.

Example structure:

Once uploaded, open your domain in the browser.

Example:

Your Website Studio site should now be live.

• Do not upload the ZIP file itself — extract it first.

• Make sure index.html is in the root directory.

• Upload the entire folder structure, not just the HTML file.

You may need help if you want to:

For simple sites, shared hosting (like GoDaddy or Hostinger) usually works without developer support.

If you want the easiest deployment experience, we recommend:

These platforms allow you to drag and drop your site files and publish instantly.

Website Studio generates static websites, which means they are extremely compatible with most hosting providers.

If your hosting provider allows you to upload HTML files, it will usually support Website Studio sites.
