Quickstart

Get your first site live on Forge in under 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

• A Forge account (free tier available)
• A folder containing your site files (HTML, CSS, JS)

Step 1: Create a Site

1. Log into the Forge dashboard
2. Click "New Site"
3. Give your site a name -- this becomes your URL: yoursite.getforge.io

Step 2: Deploy Your Files

The fastest way to deploy is drag-and-drop:

1. Compress your project folder into a .zip file
2. In the Forge dashboard, switch to the Versions tab
3. Drag and drop the .zip file into the upload area
4. Wait for the upload and build to complete

Your site is now live at https://yoursite.getforge.io.

Step 3: Visit Your Site

Click the site URL in the dashboard or navigate directly to https://yoursite.getforge.io in your browser. Your site is live, served over HTTPS, and distributed via Forge's global CDN.

What's Next?

Now that your site is deployed, here are the most common next steps:

Deploy with the CLI (Alternative)

If you prefer the command line:

npm install -g @beachio/forge-cli
forge login
forge create --name my-site
forge deploy
