# Getting started: your invitation and first page

Checked against the product’s code on 7 November 2026.

Learn how to start your first site, open **[Composer](https://docs.amadalis.ai/reference/glossary/#composer)** in the site admin and publish your first page after review.

Praxis is in private preview. You need an invitation to create an account. If you do not have one, [Apply to the Lighthouse program](https://amadalis.ai/lighthouse).

## Create your account

Read the **Terms** and **Privacy Policy** linked on the form before creating your account. The form says that creating an account accepts the Terms and acknowledges that you have read the Privacy Policy.

1.  To accept your invitation to create a site, open the link sent to you. It opens **Create your site** with **Your email** already filled in. The invitation is for that address.
2.  Fill in **Organization name**. Your organization is the account your sites belong to, and its name also makes your site’s address.
3.  Fill in **Site name**. This is the name shown in your account. You choose the name visitors see when you set up the site.
4.  Add **Your name** if you want to.
5.  Set a password of at least 12 characters.
6.  Leave **Existing WordPress site** empty for this tutorial.
7.  Review the selected **Plan**.
8.  Choose **Create my site**.

The [receipt](https://docs.amadalis.ai/reference/glossary/#receipt) says **Check your email to activate your account.**

1.  Open the verification email.
2.  Follow its link.

Registration alone does not create a live site or activate billing.

**If you are moving a WordPress site:** if you enter an existing WordPress address, nothing is imported at sign up. After verification, Praxis asks you to connect that site or upload a WordPress export file, and shows what it can bring across before any import starts.

If the email has not arrived, check your spam folder, then choose **Send the verification email again** on the receipt. If the receipt’s status says the email could not be delivered, write to [support](mailto:support@amadalis.ai).

## Open your site

1.  Sign in to [your account](https://account.amadalis.ai/account) after verification.
2.  If the account shows **Your site is waiting for payment**, choose **Pay now and start my site**. The site starts building once the payment is confirmed.
3.  In **Your sites**, select your site.
4.  Wait for the site to become available.
5.  Choose **Open admin**.

**While activation is pending:** **Open admin** stays unavailable and the account explains the next step. Payment is needed only if your selected plan requires it.

[![The account's Sites tab, Your sites: two sites listed and Quietmarch Apparel (demo-store.sites.amadalis.ai, Live) selected, its card showing Rename, Owner, Open admin, Address, Status Live with content database reachable, Billing On your plan and Checked.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S002-getting-started-sites-open-admin.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S002-getting-started-sites-open-admin.png "Open full-size image")

Select your site in Your sites, then choose Open admin.

The admin includes EmDash’s content screens, such as **Pages** and **Media**. Praxis adds workspaces including **Composer**, **Copilot** and **Site**.

[![The demo store's admin as Open admin opens it: Dashboard with Page, Post, Product and Upload Media, the Drafts, Media files and User counts, Content, Recent Activity, and the menu from Dashboard to Settings.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S002-getting-started-admin-dashboard.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S002-getting-started-admin-dashboard.png "Open full-size image")

Open admin signs you in to your site's admin.

## Create a page

2.  Choose **New page**.
    
3.  Enter a **Title**, such as “About our studio”.
    
4.  Choose a **[Page type](https://docs.amadalis.ai/reference/glossary/#page-type)** from the gallery. Filtering is optional.
    
    [![New page dialog with the title Docs Walk First Page typed, the page types filtered to How it works and that type selected, Create draft enabled.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S003-getting-started-new-page-type.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S003-getting-started-new-page-type.png "Open full-size image")
    
    Add New opens the Composer's New page dialog: give the page a title and choose its page type.
    
5.  Choose **Create draft**.
    

Your page opens with the selected type’s starter sections. It is a [draft](https://docs.amadalis.ai/reference/glossary/#draft). Visitors cannot see it yet.

[![Composer showing the new draft Docs Walk First Page at /docs-walk-first-page, marked Draft, with a notice that five sections still hold sample copy.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S003-getting-started-new-draft.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S003-getting-started-new-draft.png "Open full-size image")

The new page opens in the Composer as a draft. Sections that still need your facts are named at the top.

## Make it yours

1.  Click a section to select it.
2.  Where **Edit text** is offered, choose it or double click the words.
3.  Change the words on the page.
4.  Press Escape to apply that text edit to the draft.

[![Hero headline being edited in place, with the text bar open and Done and Revert buttons.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S004-getting-started-section-text-typed.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S004-getting-started-section-text-typed.png "Open full-size image")

Click the words of a section to edit them in place.

[![Hero headline now reads Docs Walk: a first page, with the section selected and its toolbar shown.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S004-getting-started-section-text-changed.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S004-getting-started-section-text-changed.png "Open full-size image")

After Done, the new words are saved to the draft.

For other fields:

1.  Open **Settings** for the selected section.
2.  Change the field you need, such as a button’s destination.
3.  Choose **Apply changes**.

Replace sample text, check images and give each button a real destination. Use **Structure** to find a section that is hard to select on the canvas.

Review the button label and address, then choose Apply changes.

1.  Check the preview at desktop width.
2.  Check it at tablet width.
3.  Check it at phone width.
4.  Choose **Open preview** to review the draft in its own tab.

If you prefer to start with a request, **Describe it to the Copilot** opens the same page creation work through the copilot. Give it the facts the page needs. See [The copilot](https://docs.amadalis.ai/copilot/copilot/).

## Publish when you are ready

1.  Choose **Publish**.
    
2.  Review **Publish this page?** Check the page name, public address and any notes about the content.
    
    [![Publish this page? card naming Docs Walk First Page and its address /docs-walk-first-page, with Publish this page and Keep as draft.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-publish-card.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-publish-card.png "Open full-size image")
    
    The approval card names the exact page and address before anything goes live.
    
3.  Choose **Publish this page** to make it public, or **Keep as draft** to leave it unpublished.
    
    [![Composer showing the page as Published, with a receipt: Published Docs Walk First Page, View page, Take it offline.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-published-receipt.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-published-receipt.png "Open full-size image")
    
    After approval the page is live, and the receipt offers to take it offline.
    
4.  After publication, choose **View page** to open the page at its own public address.
    
    [![Desktop published page shows Docs Walk: a first page, its introductory text, Read the care guide and the site footer.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-public-result-1440.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-public-result-1440.png "Open full-size image")
    
    The published page at desktop width.
    
    The published page shows the heading “Docs Walk: a first page” and the button to read the care guide.
    
    [![Phone published page shows Docs Walk: a first page, Read the care guide, a menu button and the site footer.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-public-result-390.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-public-result-390.png "Open full-size image")
    
    The same page on a phone.
    
    At phone width, the header has a menu button and the same page heading, introduction and care guide button fit below it.
    

If publishing is refused, read the named problem and correct it before trying again. For example, a section waiting for your facts or a button without a destination can prevent publication.

[![Composer with a message: Could not publish Docs Walk First Page. These sections still need your facts: Timeline / steps, Image & text, Features, FAQ, Call to action. Nothing went live.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-publish-refused-needs-facts.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-publish-refused-needs-facts.png "Open full-size image")

Publishing is refused while sections still need your facts, and nothing goes live.

Example words and missing facts are different. The Composer names sections that need your facts separately. Fill those notes or remove those sections before publishing. Other sample words remain advisory: review them in the Composer and on the publish card.

[![Composer on the template draft Home at /home-2, marked Draft, with the note: Four sections still carry sample copy: Banner, Hero, Blog teaser and Footer CTA. Publish anyway, or fill them first. The page shows the example magazine banner, its hero and the Start reading button.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-sample-copy-note-in-composer.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-sample-copy-note-in-composer.png "Open full-size image")

Template example copy is named, not refused.

[![Publish this page? card: Publish Home and the page goes live on the public web at /home-2. Four sections still carry sample copy: Banner, Hero, Blog teaser and Footer CTA. Publish anyway, or fill them first. With Publish this page and Keep as draft.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-publish-card-sample-copy-advisory.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S005-getting-started-publish-card-sample-copy-advisory.png "Open full-size image")

The publish card names the sample copy and leaves the choice to you.

Editing a published page creates unpublished changes. Visitors keep seeing the published version until you approve the next publish.

## Take a publish back

After a first publish, the Composer offers **Take it offline**. Elsewhere, **Unpublish** also returns a published page to draft. After publishing changes to an existing live page, the receipt’s restore action puts its previous published version back and keeps the newer changes unpublished. If that earlier version is no longer kept, the same control takes the page offline instead, so read the receipt afterwards.

[![Composer marks Docs Walk First Page Published; its bottom receipt offers View page and Take it offline.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S006-getting-started-receipt-take-it-offline.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S006-getting-started-receipt-take-it-offline.png "Open full-size image")

The first publish's receipt carries Take it offline.

[![Copilot card: Take this page offline? Docs Walk First Page stops serving and returns to draft, with Take it offline and Keep it live.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S006-getting-started-take-offline-card.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S006-getting-started-take-offline-card.png "Open full-size image")

Asking the copilot to take the page offline shows a card first.

[![Composer showing the page as Draft again, with the copilot's reply that the page is offline and its content is preserved.](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S006-getting-started-offline-result-draft.png)](https://docs.amadalis.ai/images/steps/S006-getting-started-offline-result-draft.png "Open full-size image")

After approval the page is a draft again and its public address no longer serves.
