Overview

Atom is FlexSite’s fastest path to a live website: describe what you want in plain language, and AI builds a hosted site without Drupal admin, Git, or server setup. This book walks Atom owners from first create through domains, SEO, billing, and optional upgrade to Codeless.

Who should read this book

  • Marketing leads launching a landing page or brochure site.
  • Founders validating an idea before hiring developers.
  • Anyone who prefers chat-style edits (“make the hero blue”) over traditional CMS screens.
