Questions
Short answers to the most common questions. If what you need isn't here, send us a message.
What is beam.page?
A hosting platform where your AI assistant builds and updates your website for you. Describe your business in plain English; the AI writes the pages and publishes them at your-name.beam.page.
Where can I see my sites?
You can click through to each one, see your profile and site info, and delete a site if you want to start over. To change what's on a page, ask your AI in chat — that's where most of the editing happens.
Who is it for?
Small-business owners who want a website but don't want to build one. Developers who want their AI agent to ship static sites without the hosting chore. Agencies running many client sites.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. If you can describe your business to a friend, you can describe it to Claude or ChatGPT. The AI writes every line of HTML and CSS.
How is this different from Wix or Squarespace?
With Wix you drag boxes around and pick templates. With beam.page you talk about your business and your AI makes the design decisions. No templates, no drag-and-drop — just a conversation.
Will my site look good without a designer?
Yes. The AI picks colours, layout, and fonts based on what your business is. If you don't like something, just say so and it'll change.
What will my URL look like?
your-name.beam.page — your own subdomain, on HTTPS. A custom domain (your-name.com) will be available on paid tiers later.
How do I sign in?
With Google. When you connect your AI client for the first time, Google's standard sign-in page opens — approve it, and you're in. One sign-in covers every AI client you connect, so your projects follow you across all of them.
Which AI clients does it work with?
Any MCP-compatible client. Tested: Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop), ChatGPT (Plus / Pro / Business / Enterprise), Claude Code, Codex CLI. Others like Cursor, Gemini CLI, Aider, Windsurf, and Continue work via the same connector URL.
Do I need a paid AI subscription?
Claude's free tier works to try beam.page — start there. ChatGPT's free tier doesn't let you install custom connectors, so you'd need Plus / Pro / Business / Enterprise (~£18/month) to use ChatGPT with beam.page. A paid Claude plan (~£15/month) makes regular use smoother but isn't required.
Does the AI really write my site, or is it a template?
It writes it. No templates. Your AI produces fresh HTML and CSS based on what you describe — two people with different businesses get two different sites.
What if the AI gets something wrong?
Tell it. Every change can be rolled back — each project has snapshot and rollback built in.
Can I edit the site myself?
Yes. For most people that means asking the AI to change something. If you want direct, scripted access to your site's HTML, see the for-developers page.
What tech stack can I use?
Any static stack that runs in a browser. Tailwind CSS + Alpine.js are the defaults (loaded via CDN), but React build output, htmx, plain HTML, or a zip of whatever you like all work.
What are the limits?
Free tier: one site per account, up to four pages (enough for Home, About, Services, Contact), and twenty photos or files per site. Platform caps (same across every tier): ten files per page, 4 MB per file, 200 KB of structured metadata per page.
Is there a REST API as well as the MCP?
Yes. Full REST at api.beam.page. MCP is a thin, agent-friendly wrapper over the same endpoints.
Is HTTPS included?
Yes. Every *.beam.page subdomain is served over HTTPS via a global CDN, no config needed.
Can I bring my own domain?
Not yet. The free tier is subdomain-only; custom domains come with the paid tiers (Lone Creator, Team), due later.
Is there a build step?
No. Upload HTML and it's live. If your stack has a build step (Vite, React, etc.), you build locally and upload the dist — usually as a single zip.
Is the Free tier really free forever?
Yes. No trial, no card, no dark patterns. The whole product is free today. Paid tiers (Lone Creator, Team) are on the roadmap.
What happens if I hit a limit?
Your site stays live. New uploads pause until you delete something or (once paid tiers launch) upgrade.
Who runs beam.page?
Lola Squared Ltd, a UK company (Companies House 15911333), registered at 483 Green Lanes, London N13 4BS.
Where is my data stored?
AWS in London (eu-west-2). Your sites are served from CloudFront edge locations worldwide, but the source of truth lives in the UK.
Who owns the content the AI produces?
You. It's plain static HTML — yours to keep, edit, or take with you.
Can I delete everything?
Yes. Delete a project and its files wipe from S3 within 24 hours. Delete your whole account (DELETE /me, or "delete everything" in the MCP) and all your data goes.
Is my site listed anywhere public?
Not by us. Your subdomain is a public URL — search engines can find it if you want — but we don't keep a public directory of sites.
What happens to my site if beam.page shuts down?
We'd give plenty of notice and an export route. Your HTML is plain static files, so it's portable to any web host.
