Alongside designs, Moda can build and host a real website. You describe the site you want, the agent builds it, you refine it in the editor, and you publish — to a free *.moda.page address, or to a domain you own. This is a separate surface from the canvas. A website is real HTML, CSS, and JavaScript rather than a design exported to a page, which is why it can do things a static export can’t: multiple linked pages, working forms, responsive layouts that reflow on a phone.

​
Create a site

Start from the homepage and choose Website, then describe what you want — “a one-page site for my architecture studio with a project gallery and a contact form”. The agent builds a first version you can look at immediately. If you have a brand kit, the site uses it. Setting one up first is the single biggest improvement you can make to the result.

​
Edit

The website editor gives you a live preview beside the agent chat.
  • Ask for changes in chat — “make the header sticky”, “add a pricing section with three tiers”, “use more whitespace between sections”. This is the main way to work.
  • Switch between pages in the sidebar for multi-page sites.
  • Preview at different widths to check how the layout behaves on a phone.
Changes are saved as you go, but they aren’t visible to the public until you publish. If you have unpublished work, the editor tells you so.

​
Publish

Open the Publish dialog from the editor. Your site goes live at a *.moda.page address. Publishing is available on every plan, including Free. Republishing an existing site isn’t rate-limited. Push changes live as often as you like — the limits below apply to publishing new sites, not to updating one you’ve already published. (Abuse screening still runs on every publish, including republishes — see My site was flagged or suspended.) Until you republish, visitors keep seeing the previous version.
The limit is on sites live at the same time, so unpublishing or deleting a site frees its slot. On Free you can have five sites live at once; take one down and you can publish another. A site you unpublish keeps its *.moda.page address reserved, so you can put it back later without losing the address.
A *.moda.page address you delete is not immediately reusable. Deleting a site releases its quota slot right away, but holds its address for 30 days before anyone — including you — can publish to it again. If you want to keep an address, unpublish the site rather than deleting it.
A brand-new workspace can also publish at most 3 new sites in its first 24 hours. The limit lifts on its own after that.

​
Publish settings

The same dialog controls how your site behaves in public:
  • Require a password — gate the whole site behind a password. Useful for client review before launch.
  • Visitor comments — let people leave comments directly on the published site.
  • Allow search engine indexing — whether search engines may list the site. Turn this off for staging or private work.
  • Allow AI crawlers — whether AI crawlers may read the site, separately from search engines.
  • Copy for LLMs — offer visitors a clean, plain-text version of the page suitable for pasting into an AI tool.
  • Public listing — whether the site can appear in Moda’s public gallery.
  • Show Moda hub — whether the small Moda badge appears on the site.

​
Custom domains

On a paid plan you can serve the site from a domain you own — www.yoursite.com instead of something.moda.page. It’s two DNS records and a verification step. See Custom domains for the full walkthrough, including root domains like yoursite.com and the one mistake that causes most failed verifications.

​
Export

You can download a site as a ZIP of static files from the editor’s export menu — useful if you want to host it elsewhere or hand it to a developer. You can also export a site to PDF.

​
Troubleshooting

Changes save automatically in the editor, but the published site only updates when you republish. Open the Publish dialog — if there’s unpublished work, it will say so — and publish again.
Published sites are automatically screened for abuse, on every plan. Paying doesn’t exempt a site. Screening most often catches phishing-like patterns — a login form imitating another company’s brand being the classic case.Being flagged doesn’t always take a site down: a flagged site can go live pending review rather than being blocked outright.If you believe your site was flagged or suspended in error, email support@moda.app with the site address and we’ll review it.
Three limits exist, and none is about how often you update a site you’ve already published:
  • Sites live at once, per team — 5 on Free, 50 on paid. The one you’re most likely to meet. Unpublishing or deleting a site frees its slot, so taking down a site you no longer need lets you publish another. Email support@moda.app if you need a higher cap.
  • New-account velocity, per workspace — a workspace less than 24 hours old can publish 3 new sites.
  • New sites per hour, per workspace — 10 on Free, 30 on paid. Hard to reach, since the per-team site cap binds first on Free.
None of the three applies to republishing a site you’ve already published. Abuse screening does still run on every publish, so a republish can be flagged on its content even though it isn’t rate-limited.
The agent is the intended way to change a site, and it handles the code for you. If you need full control over the markup, export the site as a ZIP and take it from there.
