Introduction to Zitegen
Zitegen turns a plain-language description into a production-ready Astro site, then gives you three ways to make it your own.
What Zitegen is
Zitegen generates a full Astro project from a plain-language description — real components, real markup, a real file tree, not a proprietary page-builder format. Every element it emits carries a data-zitegen-id that maps back to a single component tree, so AI chat, the visual canvas, and the code editor all edit the same source of truth. Export the project on any plan and it runs anywhere Astro runs — nothing here is locked to Zitegen.
How it works
Describe
Say what you want in plain English.
Generate
Zitegen writes a full Astro project.
Refine
Chat, canvas, or code — your call.
Publish
Live on Cloudflare in moments.
What makes it different
Real code you own
Every site is a real Astro project — components, layouts, a real file tree. Download it on any plan; there's no proprietary runtime to lock you in.
Three ways to refine
AI chat, a visual canvas with a style panel, and a full Monaco code editor all write to the same component tree, so changes from any layer stay in sync.
SEO-ready by default
Static, semantic HTML with per-page title, description, and schema markup — plus a built-in SEO & AI audit to catch issues before you publish.
Production hosting included
Publish to Cloudflare's edge network at yourslug.zitegen.app, or export and host it yourself. Either way, it's the same code.
Who uses Zitegen
Non-technical founders, indie makers, and small-business owners who want a polished, real site without touching code — and developers or designers who want the speed of AI generation but expect to refine the output in a visual editor or in code.
Technology stack
Generated sites ship as static HTML with no client-side framework runtime — Zitegen's own editor is where React lives, not the sites it builds.
