Template Guide

Use these templates without writing code

This guide is built for non-developers. You will use ChatGPT Plus + Codex to edit a template, push it to GitHub, and deploy on Vercel. No coding experience required.

What you need

  • ChatGPT Plus account (for Codex access).
  • GitHub account (free).
  • Vercel account (free).
  • Visual Studio Code (free) installed on your computer.

Step 1: Pick a template

Go to the templates directory, open the template details page, and click the GitHub link. This will be the source you customize.

Step 2: Create your own copy in GitHub

  • On GitHub, click "Use this template" or "Fork".
  • Name the repo after your business (e.g. `acme-wedding-site`).
  • Keep it public or private, both work on the free plan.

Step 3: Open the project in VS Code

  • Download the repo and open the folder in VS Code.
  • Install the Codex extension or use Codex inside ChatGPT.
  • Tell Codex what to change. It will edit the files for you.

Example prompts for Codex

Use prompts like these:

Update the hero headline to: "Modern wedding invitations for Alex + Jamie."
Change the primary CTA button to "RSVP now" and link it to #rsvp.
Replace the menu items with these 6 products and update prices.
Swap the color palette to warm neutrals (#F7F1E8, #E6D5C3, #A36A3D).
Add a testimonials section with 3 reviews from the content below.

Step 4: Commit and push (ask Codex)

When you like the changes, ask Codex to commit and push them to GitHub. Example:

Commit these changes with message "Update homepage content" and push to GitHub.

Step 5: Deploy to Vercel

  • In Vercel, click "Add New Project" and import your GitHub repo.
  • Deploy. Vercel will build and publish your site automatically.
  • Every future push to GitHub will auto-deploy a new version.

No-code promise

You do not need to write code. Codex can edit files, adjust layouts, and update content for you. Your job is to describe what you want.

Use your own domain

You can connect a custom domain on Vercel’s free plan. Domain registration is separate (you will need to own the domain), but Vercel does not charge extra to connect it.

Need help?

If you want us to handle the build, we can do a full revamp for you.
