Make a new site

For business owners on the Mount Olympus plan - start a new site four ways (Blank, From a template, Fill a template with Zeus, Create with Zeus). Drafts are free; the per-site price starts when you publish.

Updated November 9, 2026

This article is for business owners on the Mount Olympus plan. You can make as many draft sites as you like. A site only costs money once you publish it.

How to make a site

  1. Go to Sites in your portal and click New site.
  2. Type the site name.
  3. Pick one of four ways:
    • Blank: an empty site you build in the editor.
    • From a template: a ready design from the ContentForge template library.
    • Fill a template with Zeus: Zeus fills a library template with your business's words and your own photos. It costs 2 credits a page.
    • Create with Zeus: tell Zeus what the site is for and which pages you want. Zeus plans the site first (free), then shows the credits the build needs.
  4. For the Zeus ways, the total credits show before Zeus starts, for example "This needs 20 credits (10 pages × 2) and you have 6." Zeus never starts above the total you agreed to.
  5. The site opens as a draft in the Mount Olympus editor.

Templates come from the ContentForge library only. Your old agency's own templates don't come with you.

What it costs

  • Free while it's a draft.
  • When you first publish, the per-site price shown on your Account page starts (today $49.99 a month). The rest of your current billing period is charged once, straight away, and the site then renews on your billing day with your other sites. The New site screen shows about how much that first charge is.
  • Unpublishing removes the site from your bill from your next billing day. There's no refund for the current period.
  • Zeus: the credits shown before it starts, from your own credits. If a Zeus step fails, nothing is charged for what failed.

Limits

  • Duplicating a site, importing a site and making sites through your own AI app aren't part of this plan.
  • Zeus uses your own photos. It doesn't make new pictures for you on this plan.
  • The pages line in Create with Zeus counts up to 60 pages.

Troubleshooting

  • Not enough credits: buy a pack on your Account page, then try again. See Buy Zeus credits.
  • "This now needs N credits.": the price changed since you looked. Check the new total and agree again.
  • "Tell Zeus what the site is for": Create with Zeus needs a short description.
  • "Zeus couldn’t finish. Nothing was charged for what failed.": try again. Your credits for the failed part weren't used.
