Short answer
A free guide to building a website with Lovable in about 10 minutes, as of October 2026: plans and credits, preparing your content, the first prompt, editing with chat and visual edits, adding forms, mobile checks, SEO basics, publishing, custom domains, and what takes longer than 10 minutes.
Lovable is an AI app builder. Describe a website in plain language, and it writes the code, shows a live preview, and publishes the site for you.
It can:
Build a complete multi-section website from a single prompt
Edit pages through chat
Let you click elements and change them visually
Add forms and a database with Lovable Cloud
Publish the site to a lovable.app address
Connect a custom domain on a paid plan
Ten minutes buys you a real first version. A great website still needs your content and judgment.
02
Understand plans and credits
Free
A small daily credit allowance, enough to try out a simple site
Pro
From $25 a month, adding more credits, custom domains, and no Lovable badge
Business
Team features such as SSO and an opt-out from data training
Every message spends credits, and bigger changes cost more. Check Lovable’s pricing page for current details.
03
Prepare before you start
Have these ready, and 10 minutes becomes realistic:
The purpose of the site
Your sections: hero, about, services, testimonials, and contact
Your real copy, or bullet points
Your brand colors and fonts
A logo and photos you own
One example site you admire
04
Write a complete first prompt
Build a website for “Bright Paws”, a dog grooming studio in Austin. Sections: a hero with a booking button, three services with prices, about us, three testimonials, opening hours, and a contact form. Style: friendly, clean, mobile first. Colors: teal #0F766E and cream #FFF7ED. Font: a rounded sans-serif. Use placeholder images that I can replace.
A complete first prompt saves both credits and time.
05

Minutes 0–2

Fix the biggest problems through chat

06
Edit with chat
“Make the hero headline shorter and larger.”

“Add a sticky header with a Book Now button.”
“Add more white space between sections.”
Request one change at a time to keep each edit small and cheap.
07
Make visual edits
Click any element in the preview to change its text, colors, and spacing directly. Small visual edits are quicker than describing them in chat.
08
Add a working form

Collect only the information you need, and add a privacy policy if you gather personal data.

Every button and link
The form, tested end to end
