Get started

Hosted website

Don’t have a website? Quincer builds one for you. Answer a short interview about your business and the AI designs a complete single‑page site — hosted by Quincer, with your AI assistant embedded and already trained on your answers. Available for real estate agents and for other local businesses — pick yours on the first step.

How it works

1. Choose “Build me a website” during onboarding (next to “On my website” and “Social channels only”), then pick your business type — Real estate or Other business.
2. Answer the interview — what you do, the areas you serve, photos, and how you want visitors to reach you. Every answer does double duty: it writes your page and teaches your AI assistant how to answer visitors.
3. Review the AI’s design section by section — it picks the sections and writes the copy from your answers (it never invents credentials or stats). Approve each section as-is, skip it, or ask for a rewrite of just that section — “shorter”, “warmer”, “mention the free consultation”.
4. Publish — your site goes live on its own address, which you choose during setup. Publishing is part of the Website + Widget plan; building and previewing your draft is free.

Choosing Build me a website starts a short interview. Each question writes part of your page and teaches your assistant — on the real‑estate path the headshot is required, and license and brokerage are asked up front because real‑estate advertising rules require them on your page:

If you choose “Other business”

The interview adapts to your business instead of following a fixed script:

1. Your names — the name customers know (your “doing business as” name) and, if different, your full corporate name for the footer.
2. Tell us what you do — in your own words. If it’s easier, upload a brochure or document (PDF, Markdown, or text) and we’ll pull the facts out of it.
3. Point at a business like yours (optional) — paste a similar business’s website URL. We never copy their content; we only note the types of information they cover (services, pricing, hours, FAQs…) and use that to suggest what your site should include.
4. Pick what your site should cover — a checklist of information types (services, your story, service areas, hours & contact, FAQs, testimonials, photos). The interview then asks only about the ones you picked, and the AI builds only those sections.
5. Logo and photos — your logo, a hero photo, and up to 8 more photos you have the rights to use.

When you publish, the AI’s design goes live at its own address — {your-slug}.quincer.site — with your assistant in the corner. On real‑estate sites your license and brokerage print in the footer; on other business sites your corporate name (if you gave one) shows there instead:

Editing your site

Once your site exists, a Website section appears in the dashboard sidebar with everything in one place:

• Content — edit any text, reorder sections, or hide the ones you don’t want. To add or remove sections, use AI Redesign so the page stays coherent.
• Images — two standard slots sit at the top, then your general library:
  • Company icon — your mark. It becomes the icon in the browser tab (the favicon) and the badge at the foot of your page. One per site: uploading another replaces it.
  • Hero banner / background — the image behind the top of your page, when the layout uses one.
  • Everything else — upload as many photos as you like (headshots, gallery, property shots), with a description on each (it becomes the image’s alt text). Pick which one a section uses from the Image dropdown on that section in the Content tab.
  Only upload photos you have the rights to use — MLS listing photos often carry usage restrictions.
• AI Redesign — describe a change in plain language and the AI rewrites the page. Every version is kept in the design history, so one click restores any earlier design.
• Business info — your facts: the same questions you answered in onboarding, editable any time (contact details, services, hours, service areas; on real‑estate sites also license and brokerage, which always print in the site footer). Edits here update your assistant’s answers automatically.
• Publish — pick your site address (locked once you go live), then publish. Publishing also refreshes your assistant’s knowledge from exactly what’s on the page.

Your assistant knows your site

There’s no website to crawl, so Quincer feeds your assistant directly: interview answers become question‑and‑answer knowledge (look for them in Knowledge base), and each publish re‑imports the page itself. You can add more the usual ways too — upload PDFs (listing sheets, buyer guides) or add manual Q&A in the Knowledge section.

Leads from your site

Visitors can reach you two ways: through the chat assistant (which captures and scores leads like on any Quincer widget) and through the site’s contact form. Both land in your Leads dashboard, with your usual email and Slack/Teams notifications.

Plans & publishing

Building, previewing, and editing a draft is free. Publishing — making the site live on its address — is part of the Website + Widget plan, which bundles the hosted site with the AI assistant, lead capture, and an integration. If you cancel, your site stops being served but your draft and content are kept.

Using your own domain

Once your site is published, you can serve it on your own domain (like www.yourname.com) instead of — or alongside — its .quincer.site address:

1. Go to Website → Publish and enter your hostname under Custom domain (a subdomain like www.yourname.com — apex/root domains can’t point a CNAME; use the www form, or ask your DNS provider about ALIAS/ANAME and contact us).
2. Create a CNAME record at your DNS provider: www.yourname.com → {your-slug}.quincer.site.
3. Click Verify. DNS changes can take a while to propagate — we re-check automatically, and the status moves from Pending DNS to Verified when it lands. The certificate is handled for you.

Once verified, your site answers on the custom domain (that becomes its canonical address for search engines) and on its .quincer.site address. Publishes update both. Remove the domain any time from the same place.

Troubleshooting

• “Required before publishing” — real estate advertising rules require your license number and brokerage; fill them in under Website → Business info.
• The AI build failed — hit “Try again”; if it keeps failing, contact support from the dashboard.
• Changes not visible on the live site — published pages are cached briefly; give it a few minutes, then hard‑refresh.
• My custom domain won’t verify — check the CNAME points exactly at {your-slug}.quincer.site, then give DNS time to propagate (we keep re-checking automatically). Apex/root domains can’t carry a CNAME — use the www form or your provider’s ALIAS/ANAME feature. If it still fails after a day, remove the domain and connect it again.
