How to Get Started:

Install ChatGPT: Since Webgen relies on ChatGPT to generate websites, you’ll need to have the app installed on your device.

Open Webgen: Once added, open Webgen, and it will show you a menu of options to help you get started. Now we choose Generate website.

Describe your website: Write a description of the site you want to create, whether it's a simple landing page or a more complex project.

Visualize your project: Webgen will open your website directly in Safari. Your site will be created based on the description you provided; the more details, the better. I created at least 10 sites, and Webgen works very well.

Edit, refine, and publish: Once your site is created, you can make edits with simple commands and download the code to publish your website wherever you choose.
