Get Started

What this setup step is really doing

The start form creates the first working version of your site, not a disposable preview. The site type you choose controls the first questions LuperIQ asks, the starter modules it turns on, and the public tone the site should use. A pest control company, plumber, classroom, family hub, band, church, salon, or creator should not all be pushed through the same generic setup path.

If you start free, the main tradeoff is attribution. You still get a live site, a dashboard, and a place to shape content. The LuperIQ footer or banner simply tells visitors how the free site was built. If you pick a paid plan, the setup path is still the same idea, but the public brand presentation and included credits change.

Before you click Create

• Choose the closest site type, because the next setup questions and default modules should follow that choice.
• Use a real email address you can access, because the admin login and setup details are sent there.
• Pick a subdomain you would be comfortable showing a customer, member, or family invitee.
• Start free if you are still learning the platform; upgrade later if reduced branding or extra AI credits become important.

What should happen after the site exists

After creation, the next step should be setup, not confusion. The admin area should show the details LuperIQ still needs, the public site should already have a sensible starter structure, and any emails should match the login path that actually works. If the site type is business-focused, onboarding should ask business-specific questions. If it is a family, club, classroom, band, team, church, or event site, the questions should shift to the people, privacy, schedules, media, and shared resources that type of site really needs.

The free site should also be honest about LuperIQ attribution. Visitors should be able to tell it is an example or free-powered site when that applies, but the customer-facing pages should still speak to the real audience. A pest control example should sound like a pest control business speaking to homeowners. A family site should not ask business-license questions. A learning product should not borrow plumbing copy. That separation starts here with the site type.

If anything feels wrong after creation, that is a setup issue to fix, not a reason to force the user through a bad path. The first launch should make the next correction easy to find.
