What is Webpress?
A plain-language introduction to Webpress — what it does, who it's for, and the handful of ideas that make everything else click.
Last updated 2026-06-29
Webpress is a website builder. It lets you create a real, published website — a homepage, an about page, a contact form, the works — without writing any code. You design your site by dragging things around on a screen and typing your words, the same way you'd arrange slides in a presentation. When you're happy, you press Publish and your site goes live on the internet.
If you've never built a website before, you're exactly who this was made for.
The two ways to build
There are two ways to create a site in Webpress, and you can mix them freely:
- Generate it with AI. Describe the website you want in a sentence or two — "a one-page site for my coffee shop in Bandung, warm and cozy" — and the AI builds a complete, styled page for you in seconds. You then tweak whatever you like. See Building with the AI assistant.
- Build it by hand in the visual editor. Drag pre-made blocks (a heading, a button, a gallery, a pricing table…) onto the page, then style them with simple controls. See The editor at a glance.
Most people start with AI to get a page on the screen fast, then switch to the visual editor to make it their own.
What you can build and publish
Every site you publish goes live at a free web address that looks like yourname.webpress.id. On a paid plan you can also connect your own domain, like yourbrand.com — see Custom domains.
Your published site is a normal, fast website. It works on phones and computers, it can be found on Google, it can collect messages from a contact form, and you can see how many people visit it.
The five ideas that hold everything together
Webpress organizes your work into a simple hierarchy. Understanding these five words will make every other guide easier to follow.
| Term | What it means in plain English |
|---|---|
| Account | Your personal login (your email and password). One account is you. |
| Workspace | A container that holds your projects and your billing. You get one automatically, called your "Default Workspace." Think of it as a folder for a business or a client. |
| Project | One website you're building. The design, the pages, and all your edits live inside a project. |
| Website | The published, live version of a project — the thing visitors actually see at your web address. |
| Page | A single page inside your site, such as Home, About, or Contact. One project can have many pages. |
So the chain is: you sign in to your account, which contains a workspace, which contains your projects, and publishing a project creates a live website made of pages.
You don't have to memorize this. Just know that "project" is where you design and "website" is what you publish. We'll remind you as we go.
What it costs
You can build and design for free. The Free plan lets you create a project and publish one page to a webpress.id address. Paid plans unlock more projects, more pages, custom domains, and more AI usage. There's a full breakdown in Plans & pricing.
Some actions — mainly AI generation — are paid for with coins, a small in-app credit. Your plan includes a monthly coin allowance, and you can top up if you need more. See Coins & credits.
