Getting Started

Dashboard tour

Find your way around the dashboard, the sidebar, and All Sites.

Once you’re signed in, you land on the Dashboard: what needs your attention, how your sites are doing, and the sites you were last working on. The left sidebar takes you everywhere else.

The dashboard

Click the PageFork logo at the top of the sidebar to come back here at any time. Until you have a site, the dashboard shows the box where you describe your first one instead.

Needs your attention

A short list of things worth acting on, most urgent first. Each row names the site and has a button that takes you where you can fix it.

RowWhat it meansButton
Follow-ups are overdueA site has open follow-ups whose due date has passed. Pro only.View follow-ups opens that site’s leads, earliest due first
Generation failedThe last build stopped before it finished.Open site
Publish failedYour latest changes never went live.Open site
Payment problemA site plan’s payment didn’t go through.Open billing
Generation cancelledThe site was left half-built.Open site
Unpublished changesYou’ve edited a live site since you last published it.Publish
Not published yetThe site has never been published. When several sites are drafts, they’re grouped into one row.Open site or View sites

The list shows at most four urgent rows, plus the drafts row. When nothing needs you, the section is hidden.

At a glance

Tiles with your key numbers. Click any tile to open the page behind it.

  • Pageviews, last 30 days — total visits across your Pro sites that have analytics turned on, compared with the 30 days before, with a small daily chart. Shown when at least one such site exists.
  • Unread leads — new leads nobody has opened yet.
  • Due today — follow-ups due today across your sites. Opens the lead calendar. Pro only.
  • Credits — your credit balance.
  • Storage — how much of your media library allowance you’ve used.

Continue building

Your six most recently edited sites, each marked Live, Draft or Generating. Click one to open its editor, or All sites for the full list.

Starting a new site

Click Create new site at the top of the dashboard or in the sidebar. You get the same box as on your first visit: describe the site, or pick a template.

If you signed up from a prompt on pagefork.ai and the site couldn’t be started, for example because you ran out of credits, the dashboard shows a banner explaining why, with a Try again button.

The sidebar

  • PageFork logo (top) — returns to the dashboard.
  • Recent Sites — collapsible list of the sites you’ve worked on most recently. Click one to open its editor.
  • All Sites — a full, paginated view of every site in your account.
  • Create new site — opens the box where you describe a new site or pick a template.
  • Leads — every lead across your sites. An unread count appears as a badge when new leads arrive.
  • Analytics — traffic for your Pro sites. See Built-in analytics.
  • Media → Library — browse, upload, and manage files shared across your organization. See Media library.
  • Media → Images — generate custom AI images in threaded conversations. See AI image generation.
  • Account menu (bottom) — your profile, billing, support email, theme switcher, and sign-out. Billing has two tabs: Credits (buy credit packs, set up auto top-up) and Subscriptions (every site’s Basic or Pro plan). See Basic and Pro plans.

All Sites

The All Sites page has two tabs:

  • Active — sites you’re currently working on.
  • Archived — sites you’ve put aside.

Each card shows the site name, a thumbnail, and a Published indicator if the site is currently live. The ⋯ menu on each card exposes:

  • View leads — jumps to the Leads page filtered to this site (only visible if the site is published).
  • Archive — move this site to the Archived tab. Available only when the site is not published and has no active site plan.
  • Unarchive — move an archived site back to Active.

Archiving doesn’t delete the site or the chat history. It just tidies up the Active list.

Theme

The theme switcher (inside the account menu) offers Light, Dark, or System. Your choice applies to the dashboard only — your published sites keep whatever styling you prompted for.

Support

Inside the account menu, clicking the support email copies it to your clipboard and opens a mailto: compose window. Always include the site URL (or the site’s name) in your support email — it helps us respond faster.
